Small Mermaid With Trumpet Sculpture Handcrafted From Recycled Steel By Haitian Artisans 14 By 14 Inches

Bring a splash of seaside whimsy and a story you can see into your space with the Small Mermaid with Trumpet. This 14-by-14-inch sculpture (0.5 inches thick) begins life as a recycled steel oil drum, then is hand-chiseled by skilled Haitian artisans. Inspired by the timeless method developed by Georges Liautaud in the late 1950s, each piece is cut and shaped by hand with a mallet and chisel, turning repurposed metal into a graceful mermaid capturing a moment of musical charm.

Why this piece stands out

• Upcycled heritage: Crafted from recycled steel oil drums, giving new life to metal while keeping its bold, industrial character.
• Hands-on artistry: Built using a time-honored technique dating back to Georges Liautaud’s late-1950s workshop, ensuring authenticity and a tactile, artisanal finish.
• Distinctive, one-of-a-kind finish: No two mermaids are exactly alike—handwork means subtle variations in texture and patina, making each sculpture unique.
• Versatile display for home or garden: A whimsical accent that complements entryways, patios, sunrooms, or indoor shelves, adding a coastal or rustic flair to any setting.
• Engaging focal point: The trumpet-playing mermaid catches light from every angle, creating movement and personality whether it’s sunlit outdoors or softly lit indoors.

What you’ll love in everyday use

• Ideal for garden corners, gravel paths, or balcony railings where metal art can interact with natural light and weather (while remaining low-maintenance).
• Perfect gift for lovers of eco-friendly decor, nautical themes, or handcrafted artwork with a rich artistic lineage.
• Resilient display that pairs beautifully with other metal or natural textures—think wood, stone, or terra-cotta planters for a curated vignette.

Size, finish, and care notes

• Dimensions are approximate: 14" x 14" x 0.5". Because each piece is handmade, final dimensions and finish may vary slightly.
• To preserve the sculpture’s character, dust with a soft cloth. If kept outdoors, consider routine protection from harsh elements to maintain the patina over time.

Bring a touch of Haitian craftsmanship and upcycled artistry to your living space or garden with the Small Mermaid with Trumpet—a unique, meaningful piece that turns repurposed steel into a story you can display.
