Edmond Laurent Etling (23 June 1878 – around 1940) was a French art dealer, gallery owner, designer, and a manufacturer of high-quality decorative objects made of bronze, ceramics and art glass in the Art Deco style.
He owned La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling (English: Edmond Etling Limited Company) for manufacturing, his foundry was named Edmond Etling & Cie, and sometimes the products are referred to as "Etling Glass". His gallery, Galerie Béranger, was located Paris (however there are discrepancies on the exact address).
Biography
Etling was born in Paris, 11, rue des Halles (1st district), the son of Cerf Etling and Valerie Dreyfus.
His company La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling, founded in Paris in 1909, manufactured decorative object and commissioned sculptors and artists, including Georges Béal, Demétre Chiparus, Claire Colinet, Armand Godard, Geneviève Granger, Marcel Guillard, Maurice Guiraud-Rivière, Géza Hiecz, Fanny Rozet, and Lucille Sévin. Other artists worked with Etling when casting their statuettes including Aurore Onu, Marcel Bouraine, Pierre Le Faguays, Raymonde Guerbe, and André Vincent Becquerel.
Etling is known for light blue opalescent objects such as plates and bowls, which were also produced in gray and frosted glass. Most items bore the cast signature "Etling France" followed by a model number related to the Choisy-le-Roi catalogue.
In 1910, Etling was awarded the diplome d'honneur at Brussels International (1910). In 1923, he was awarded the Grand Prix in Paris. In 1940, Etling closed his shop due to World War II. Because Etling was of Jewish descent, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp, where he died.
In the 1970s, the Manufacture Royale de Porcelaine de Sèvres reproduced some Etling designs, particularly the female nudes.
