“SINGE” WALL-LIGHT, CIRCA 1910
Patinated bronze
Signed E. M. Sandoz
40 cm. high

Concerning Edouard-Marcel Sandoz, the absence of a foundry mark indicates that it is a piece made for his personal use or for a special commission. The pieces intented for edition were cast by Susse or Valsuani (lately). Robecchi executed works only at the sculptor’s request from plaster casts
