Description

Rare French Art Deco (ca 1932) Etling ‘Nue Au Bras Tendu’ (nude with outstretched arm) opalescent glass figurine. The beautiful glass figure of a naked lady holding an animated pose as her (transparent) shawl drapes across her shoulders, exhibits excellent colour and fine detail. Produced by the Etling glassworks and designed by in-house artist Lucille Sevin. Signed ‘Etling France’ on the base. 22cm high x 11.5cm wide, weight 800g.

Good condition overall but has a repair on the outstretched hand (see photo). Despite this it remains a striking sculpture.

Etling opalescent glass statues are highly sought-after French Art Deco pieces, produced in the 1920s-1930s. Known for their ethereal, milky-blue glow, these moulded glass figures often feature female nudes, dancers or religious icons.

Edmond Laurent Etling founded La Societe Anonyme Edmond Etling in 1906 in Paris. The works which he commissioned (not only glass, but ceramics, ivory and bronze) were sold from his shop in Paris. Glassware was made at the Etling Choisy-le-Roi glassworks. Apart from clear grey and frosted glass, much of Etling's glassware was made of opalescent glass.

Date of Manufacture

This French Art Deco figurine from the 1930s depicts a female nude with stylized drapery, standing on a circular pedestal base. Modelled in opalescent glass with a milky-blue colouration, the piece shows fine detail in the geometric hair styling and the animated pose holding an outstretched arm with a transparent shawl draped across the shoulders. A repair is present on the outstretched hand. The sculpture measures 22 cm high, 11.5 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this decorative object serves as a display piece in a living room, dining room, or hallway. The moulded glass construction creates an ethereal appearance under interior lighting, suitable for domestic display within traditional or contemporary interiors.

Art Deco opalescent glass figurines typically feature stylized geometric forms, classical nudes, and flowing drapery, popularised in France during the 1920s and 1930s.

Opalescent glass was created using press-moulding techniques, where specific chemical compounds like bone ash or fluorine were added to the glass batch to create an translucent light-refracting effect upon cooling.

Authentic period pieces often feature crisp moulded detail, moulded or acid-etched maker signatures near the base, and characteristic orange or blue refraction under direct lighting.

Displaying glass statuettes on a dark wooden sideboard, an illuminated display cabinet, or a marble mantelpiece allows light to highlight the opalescent optical properties.

Wash gently using warm water and mild soap with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers, sudden temperature shifts, and abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
