Cast Bronze Mermaid Figurine with Verdigris Patina

Story

Sailors once mistook manatees for these mythical sirens of the deep. This 10-inch bronze beauty was crafted to bring that legendary seafaring romance directly into the mid-century or late-century home, perched on a shelf edge.

Maker / Origin

While this piece does not bear a visible signature, it belongs to a rich tradition of decorative brass and bronze giftware that flourished in the latter half of the 20th century. Foundries across the United States and Europe produced high-quality, whimsical maritime decor to satisfy a growing cultural obsession with coastal living and nautical style.

Condition & Value

The figurine appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no structural damage, cracks, or deep scratches. The verdigris and gold patina is well-preserved, showing only minor natural aging which actually enhances its antique aesthetic. Excellent condition like this helps secure the top end of the value range.
