Burchard Precht, tilskrevet Et par svenske barokspejle i rammer af forgyldt bly prydet med kvindelige bronzefigurer, hver med en lysearm af messing. Stockholm, slutningen af det 17. årh./ begyndelsen af det 18. årh. H. 44. B. 24. (2) 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 and enrichment of the Swedish Baroque style.
