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.[2]

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).[3][4]

Biography

Etling was born in Paris, 11, rue des Halles (1st district), the son of Cerf Etling and Valerie Dreyfus.[1]

His company La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling, founded in Paris in 1909,[5] manufactured decorative object and commissioned sculptors and artists, including Georges Béal,[5][6] Demétre Chiparus,[4] Claire Colinet,[4] Armand Godard,[5] Geneviève Granger,[5] Marcel Guillard,[5] Maurice Guiraud-Rivière,[4] Géza Hiecz,[5] Fanny Rozet,[4] and Lucille Sévin.[5] Other artists worked with Etling when casting their statuettes including Aurore Onu, Marcel Bouraine, Pierre Le Faguays,[7] 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.[5] Most items bore the cast signature "Etling France" followed by a model number related to the Choisy-le-Roi catalogue.[8]

In 1910, Etling was awarded the diplome d'honneur at Brussels International (1910).[4] In 1923, he was awarded the Grand Prix in Paris.[4] In 1940, Etling closed his shop due to World War II.[5] Because Etling was of Jewish descent, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp, where he died.[5]

In the 1970s, the Manufacture Royale de Porcelaine de Sèvres reproduced some Etling designs, particularly the female nudes.
