Burchard Precht, attributed (b. Bremen 1651, d. Stockholm 1738)
A Swedish Baroque portal-shaped mirror with etched glass decor in the frame and adorned with gilded lead mounting on gilded wood, the top with a crest, flanking female figures and floral vases. Stockholm, early 18th century. H. 173 cm. W. 86 cm.
The Precht family is synonymous with the production of mirrors of the highest quality in 18th century Sweden, numerous examples having been attributed to Burchard or to his sons Gustav (d. 1763) and Christian (d. 1779). Originally from Bremen, educated in Hamburg, Burchard arrived in Stockholm in 1674 to work at Drottningholm Palace before being appointed carver to the court in 1682, further to the recommendation of the royal architect, Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. Precht became extremely influential in the development of the Swedish Baroque style.
