The firm of Etling, founded by Edmond Laurent Etling, was based in Paris at 29, Rue de Paradis – retailing high quality exclusive decorative items during the 1920’s and 1930’s. Etling was one of the most active editors of sculpture, glass and ceramics in the inter-war years. Although better known today for their glass, Etling commissioned items in a range of materials – which were sold from the shop in Rue de Paradis. Glassware was made at the Choisy-le-Roi glassworks on the outskirts of Paris. Etling glass was known for its pale blue opalescence – regarded alongside Lalique and Sabino they included designs by Loetz, Beal and many others.

Etling closed in 1940 during WW2. Edmond Etling and his family were transported to a concentration camp where they died. The company’s entire output was in the Art Deco style of the interwar period. They are noted for innovative design and are highly desirable collector’s items.
