I am pretty sure they would be interested, and may well be prepared to:
make a very decent offer, possibly more than an architectural antiques dealer would offer,
take responsibility for packing, shipping, insurance etc,
give them a permanent display opportunity.

Your first point of contact would be:
Jennifer dot Hallot at lesartsdecoratifs dot fr

It would be worth including a link to this topic in your e-mail to her.

Thank you for the contact information. I have sent an email with a link to this thread. I do agree it would better to see these on display rather than hidden away in a private collection. I  originally contacted the dealer in Chicago looking for information because they have a carved Vitrolite panel for sale on their website. The panel they have is much simpler and unsigned.

Anne:
Just adding another book that may be of use to this, and similar enquiries, about Hunebelle (and other) glass panels:
Arts décoratifs à bord des paquebots français 1880-1960,  Louis-René Vian (Auteur)
(decorative arts on board French ships 1880-1960)

Also these panels(or others of the same design) were discussed in depth by an appraiser here: http://www.justanswer.com/antiques/8qzlt-etched-glass-vitrolite-panels-signed-andre.html
