Architect and sculptor, Hittorff, created the mermaid and
mermen as central characters for the Place de la Concorde

the beginning of the 20th century and these original
sculptures, then already one hundred years old, were
replaced with replicas that are still standing in the
fountains to this day. These original mermen and matching
mermaid have elite status as the most important figures
created by Hittorff ever presented for sale.
