Christian Jakob Preisler (b. 1712, d. 1779, attributed) A Danish Rococo walnut and giltwood commode, later marble top, curved sides and brake front with three drawers, gilt bronze handles and key plates. Presumably by cabinetmaker Christian Jakob Preisler (b. 1712 - d. 1779). C. 1760. H. 80.5 cm. W. 76 cm. D. 59 cm. The cabinetmaker Christian Jakob Preisler, 1712–1779, grew up in Dresden, Germany. He belonged to the Preisler family, which also includes the famous copper engraver J.M. Preisler. In 1733 Christian Jakob Preisler arrived in Copenhagen, where he was granted Danish citizenship in 1738. He is believed to have supplied a few pieces of furniture to the royal court, but seems to have worked predominantly for private clients also as a carpenter. An interior at Ledreborg Castle from 1751 has excellent carpentry by his hand. In 1771 he did the carpentry work on the dining room that was redesigned by C.F. Harsdorff at Frederiksberg Castle. Prisler became a wealthy man and owned a house in Magstræde, Copenhagen from 1775 and a property at Frederiksberg, the so-called ‘Snedkergård’.
