These sculptural figures feature beautifully weathered finishes with layers of original paint and patina from decades of outdoor display. Both retain their original copper plumbing spouts, suggesting use as functional water features, likely in a garden or coastal estate setting.
One is missing the piece coming out of the shell with both having the original hoses.

The mermaids sit atop classical plinth bases adorned with foliate relief carvings, adding architectural elegance to their organic, mythical forms. Timeworn surfaces reveal charming imperfections, flaking paint, and areas of loss consistent with age and exposure, yet they remain structurally sound and immensely decorative.

Stunning as a garden focal point, statement entry pieces, or restored as fountains once again.
• Mid-20th century
