A Copenhagen-based merchant house that at least operated in the 1750s ? (VMM)

Most likely run by Johan Frederik Becher/Becker (c. 1727 - 1781, died in Copenhagen) Geneaology website who was "grosserer", i.e. merchant. This man was married to Else Cathrine Elisabeth Gleerup (married surname: Becher). She was born 21 December 1735 in Aalborg, and died 28 June 1772 in Copenhagen and is buried in Vor Frelser Church Geneaology website.


Any relation to hofapoteker Gottfried Becker (1767-1845)? (BioLek II) (VMM). There is a file at the Royal Library with detailed plans etc. of The Royal Apothecarian "Beckers gård" in Købmagergade, where, amongst other things, there are details of "laboratories" (Ny Kgl Samling, no. 386, "Den Beckerske Gaard paa Store Kiøbmagergade i Kiøbenhavn"). Allegedly Gottfried Becker also established a "farvefabrik" i.e. dye factory in 1807 (BioLek II).
