Burchardt Precht, the leading Stockholm sculptor and cabinetmaker of the late 17th Century originally from Bremen, went to Sweden in 1674 and he probably at the invitation of Friedrich I. He worked at both the Stockholm and Drottningholm palaces under the architect N. Tessin the Younger. A table with similar frieze decoration made about 1700 for Queen Hedvig Eleonora, now at Gripsholm, is illustrated in B. Vahlne, Möbelhistoria Pa Gripsholm, Stockholm, 1986, p.61. Other similar tables are illustrated in S. Wallin, Nordiska museets möbler fran svensaka Lerremanshem, Lund, 1979, vol.I, pp.130-134.
