## About Preben Fabricius

Preben Juul Fabricius (1931–1984) was a Danish furniture designer best documented in the available sources through his professional partnership with Jørgen Kastholm. During the 1960s, the pair developed a broad range of furniture for Alfred Kill, whose factory was located in Fellbach near Stuttgart. That collaboration is the principal design context supported by the present source pack. Fabricius may therefore appear in catalogues under his own name, under a joint Fabricius and Kastholm attribution, or in connection with Alfred Kill. The collected evidence identifies him as a furniture designer but does not establish a specific design movement, named series, detailed material vocabulary, or complete production history. For collectors, careful identity matching matters because his full name, Preben Juul Fabricius, coexists with the shorter Preben Fabricius form, while collaborative cataloguing can affect how an object is described and compared.

## Common works and media

The collected sources support furniture and furniture design as Fabricius's principal field, especially work created in collaboration with Jørgen Kastholm during the 1960s and designs associated with Alfred Kill. They do not identify particular furniture types, model names, materials, editions, or named series, so those details should be verified from object labels, manufacturer documentation, catalogues, or reliable auction records rather than inferred from the artist name alone.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin by confirming whether an object is attributed to Preben Fabricius individually or to Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm together. The available sources also support checking any documented connection to manufacturer Alfred Kill and the object's relationship to the designers' 1960s work. The source pack does not provide model-level documentation, condition criteria, edition information, provenance standards, or realized auction prices. Consequently, valuation should remain item-specific and should consider the precise design, maker attribution, date, materials, dimensions, condition, provenance, and genuinely comparable public sales once those details and records are available. No price direction can be inferred from the collected biographical sources alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For this profile, the collected pack supports basic identity and collaboration context, while detailed market evidence remains to be added.
