介绍（中）	这是克里斯蒂安·赫特为威廉·H·范德比尔特（1821-1885）位于纽约第五大道640号的房子设计的餐厅中幸存下来的几把侧椅之一。房间里摆放着一幅赏金肖像画，借鉴了文艺复兴时期流行的先例。椅子顶部栏杆上雕刻着郁郁葱葱的花朵、坚果和浆果，这是将房间雕刻的橡木家具和镶板统一在一起的几个图案之一：当代照片显示，在内置自助餐的两侧，两对丰满的推杆高举着类似的图案。然而，腿和担架与欧洲先例无关，这把椅子是赫特最具独创性的设计之一。拉伸器是由相互锁紧的部件组成的复杂部件，通过相等的垂直和水平张力保持拉紧平衡。一个下垂的弓形环连接到一对安装在杆上的方形环上，杆通过展开的手掌支撑在腿上；一条雕刻的腰带，穿过戒指，卷曲在这个元素周围。19世纪餐厅的座椅家具通常用皮革装饰，以便于清洁。这把椅子最初的覆盖物在一个时期的资料中被描述为"暗红色的冲压皮革，具有特殊的设计，以科尔多瓦时尚的金色浮雕。"镀金皮革，现代替代品，形状黄铜底座与色彩丰富的橡木形成鲜明对比。
介绍（英）	This is one of several side chairs known to survive from the dining room Christian Herter designed for William H. Vanderbilt's (1821-1885) house at 640 Fifth Avenue, New York. An iconography of bounty governed the room, drawn from Renaissance precedents as was popular during the period. The lush swag of flowers, nuts, and berries sculpted on the chair’s crest rail was one of several such motifs unifying the room’s carved oak furnishings and paneling: contemporary photographs show that on either side of the built-in buffet pairs of plump putti held similar swags aloft. The legs and stretchers, however, bear no relationship to European precedents and distinguish this chair as one of Herter's most original designs. The stretcher is a complex composition of interlocking parts held in taut balance by equal forces of vertical and horizontal tension. A pendant bow-shaped loop is connected to a pair of square rings mounted on a rod, which is braced against the legs by spreading palmettes; a carved sash, woven through the rings, curls around this element. Nineteenth-century seating furniture for dining rooms was typically upholstered in leather for ease of cleaning. The original covering of this chair was described in a period source as being a "dull-red, stamped leather, of special designs, relieved with gold in Cordova fashion." The gilded leather, in a modern replacement, and shaped brass mounts contrast brightly with the richly colored oak.
