Edgar Brandt wall lamp "Cobra", fire-gilded bronze, snake motif Cobra, electrified, dimensions: 32 x 24 cm.
Edgar Brandt was born on December 24, 1880 at 46, rue de Bergelais, Paris into an Alsatian family. From 1884 to 1888 he studied at the École Nationale Professionnelle in Vierzon. In 1901/2 Brandt founded the Établissements Brandt, where he produced jewelry and metal works of art in the Art Deco style and from 1914 also weapons such as mortars for the French army. The company has been refining the Stokes mortar since the 1920s. As the Mortier Mle 27/31, the 81mm mortar was introduced to the French Army from 1928 and was an overall commercial success, being exported to 52 countries by 1939. The Mortier de 60 mm Mle 1935 became the standard weapon of the US Army as a license-manufactured 60 mm M2 mortar.
As early as 1926, Brandt was made an officer in the Legion of Honour. In the same year, with the opening of the Galerie Edgar Brandt and the Société des Etablissements Brandt, the production of art objects and weapons are more clearly separated. Brandt's arms production in Châtillon-sous-Bagneux was nationalized by the socialist government in 1936 (the company merged with Hotchkiss et Cie in 1956 to form Hotchkiss-Brandt, which in turn became part of the Thomson Group ten years later and is now part of the Thales Group. The Brandt brand was last used in the group for household machines and lives on to this day).
Edgar Brandt continued to be successful as an artist in the 1930s. Large commissions such as the work for the National Theater of Mexico and the wrought iron decorations for a large cinema on the Champs-Elysées were carried out in a very short time. For example, the Normandy interior in the Art Deco style was spectacular. In 1939 he traveled with his wife Renée nee. Largaud and son Francois on Normandy to the USA and Canada. Just in time for the occupation of the rest of France on November 11, 1942, Brandt moved to Switzerland in August 1942, where he settled at the location of his company Société Anonyme Constructions Mécaniques du Léman CML in Geneva. Edgar Brandt died in Geneva on May 8, 1960 after a long illness.
