Sabino, Paris - Marius Ernest Sabino - Lamp - Brons, Glas

=Marius Ernest Sabino 1878 - 1961=

Marius Sabino was born in Sicily in 1878, and with his family moved to France while he was still a young boy. His father, a sculptor of wood, trained him to follow in his steps.   

He would go on to study at L'Ecole Nationale des Arts Decoratifs  and the Beaux Arts de Paris, where he became particularly interested in the challenges that the advent of electricity would have on glass manufacture. It was through electric lights that Sabino came to the production of glass. In fact, on his return from the first World War (where he had joined as a volunteer), he founded a factory which manufactured traditional lights fittings of wood or bronze and then quickly changed to glass.

He realized the enormous potential of the new techniques which made it possible to create the perfect molds for a unique translucent material. By pouring this material into the molds, he created beautiful relief in very precise and exciting designs. The glass of the chandelier was no longer part of the design-it was the principal component. His chandeliers, which were often monumental in size, were made to compliment the architecture of the day.

This chandelier is made of a cast bronze frame, fixed together with screws. This frame holds five heavy glass shades. One of the shades has a crack on the backside and others have some small flakes. If you hang it well it is difficult toe see. The chandelier hanging on 4 bronze chains to the ceiling. The total weight is 10,5kg, length 80cm from the ceiling to the bottom. It has been marked with a catalog number. The lamp shades are well known in other designs from Sabino. Design is from around 1925. At the end of the picture show you see similar designs from Sabino Paris with the same shades.
