About the Item
Art Deco bronze blue bird bell sculpture by Edouard Marcel Sandoz. Bronze cubist bird figurine, circa 1920, finished in original dark brown/copper patinated bronze. Written on both edges, E.M. Sandoz also has the “S. Freres” signature and the foundry seal. Sandoz, with his profound body of work specializing in animals, this fun and unusual bronze gives a rather lyrical point of view you could expect from Sandoz. The bell has a rich-sounding ring.
Sandoz of Switzerland was most famous for being a sculptor of animals. His work is very sought after, very collectible, and extremely rare. He worked from the Art Nouveau period through Cubism and Art Deco. From 1891 to 1971, he was part of the famous Sandoz family. In addition to so much recognition for his work, known for bronze, porcelain, and silver, he also worked with Christofle and developed highly collectible pieces from the Galia collection. He was the son of a very successful businessman and could use his family resources, which certainly supported many of his creative endeavors.

Edouard-Marcel Sandoz
Born in Basle, educated in Switzerland, Edouard Marcel Sandoz worked mainly in Paris, where he settled in 1908. A sculptor of men and of animals, he expressed himself in bronze, in ceramic, and through the direct cutting of stone. A painter of flowers and of landscapes, he was also an unflagging producer of sketches and water-colours. His motto : “ In art, one has to love everything : nature, science, one's fellow man… ” His defining characteristics : intellectual curiosity and technical discipline. His freedom of expression was grounded in mastery of classical and traditional techniques, his knowledge of materials, the constant search for new tools, the opening up of new artistic territories, and the study and profound understanding of his subject-matter. His very personal style, developed in the course of a long career, bears the imprint of the Art Nouveau period, in which he was a forceful presence.The predominance of animalism in his sculptural work incited him to found the French Society of Animalists in 1933. His commitment to the service of his fellow artists led him to preside over the Baron Taylor Association for more than thirty years, to found the Charitable Society for Children of Artists, and to contribute to the creation of the Cité des Arts in Paris. In recognition of his talents and achievements, France elected him a Member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and appointed him to the rank of Commander both of the Legion of Honour and of the Order of Arts and Letters.
