介绍（中）	托马斯·齐本德尔于十八世纪中叶在伦敦建立了自己的橱柜制造公司。他著名的图案书《绅士和橱柜制造商的导演》的第一版于 1754 年出版，"齐本德尔"一词经常被用来描述受插图设计启发的英国洛可可式家具。这本书包含 161 块雕刻板，用于哥特式、中国式和洛可可风格的各种家用家具以及一系列普通的家用作品。几乎相同的第二版于 1755 年发行，第三版扩大和修订版于 1762 年出版。这本书卖得很好，并帮助公司吸引了许多时尚客户，包括演员大卫加里克。齐本德尔的图案在国外很受欢迎，尤其是在北美，博物馆有许多受"导演"设计启发的作品。图解：图版十六：三把带背椅 [齐彭代尔对这些椅子感到非常自豪，并认为它们是他见过或制作的最好的椅子。
介绍（英）	Thomas Chippendale established his cabinet-making firm in London in the mid-eighteenth century. The first edition of his celebrated pattern book, "The Gentleman and Cabinet-maker's Director," was published in 1754 and the term "Chippendale" is regularly used to describe English Rococo furniture inspired by its illustrated designs. The book contains 161 engraved plates for a wide range of domestic furniture in the Gothic, Chinese, and Rococo styles as well as a series of plain domestic pieces. A virtually identical second edition was issued in 1755, and a third enlarged and revised edition appeared in 1762. The book sold well and helped the firm attract many fashionable clients, including the actor David Garrick. Chippendale's patterns were popular abroad, especially in North America, and the Museum has many pieces inspired by the designs from "The Director". Illustrated: Plate XVI: three ribband-back chairs [Chippendale was very proud of these chairs and considered them the best he had ever seen or made.]
