Description: During the 1920s and 1930s there were a large number of glass artisans, among them René Lalique, Marius-Ernest Sabino, Etling, Hunebelle, D'Avesn, Verlys and Jobling. Of these Marius-Ernest Sabino emerged as one of the most prolific.Master glazier Marius-Ernest Sabino was both an artist and industrialist whose work has influenced the art of modern glassmaking. During the interwar period his technique of compression-molded glass was among the best of the different glassmaking techniques developed during that period. He won numerous prizes in Europe for his art and was awarded the highest decoration in France, the National Order of the Legion of Honor, for his contributions to French art and industry.Though René Lalique a contemporary of Sabino has become the better known of the two in modern times, Sabino was much more involved in the production of lighting during the art deco period. His chandeliers stand out as some of the finest ever made.This chandelier comprises a large central bowl surrounded by six smaller ones holding individual bulbs on silvered-bronze arms. The phots show just how beautiful it is both lit and unlit.All pieces of the chandelier carry the Sabino signature.We did some looking for examples of Sabino. We could find nothing comparable. This is a very rare piece. Many examples of Sabino chandeliers have prices in tens of thousands. Shipping costs will be calculated at time of sale as this is a large item requiring very careful packing and handling. They will vary by purchaser location. The chandelier is wired for US with bayonet style lamp holders.
