Modeller of figures and _repoussé_ worker. He appears to have had a

and painted grey medallion panel portraits of Queen Juliane Marie,

magnificent vase, with portrait of Queen Juliane Marie painted by
Camrath, having a Cupid seated on body of vase amidst a garland of
exquisitely moulded flowers and two lions finely modelled on cover,
is the work of Sören Preus.
The baskets of flowers and bouquets and ornaments in the dessert
centre pieces of the _Flora Danica_ service suggest his master-hand.
