We bought this several years ago for our beach house. We bought a new house this past Jan. I just got it hung in the new house. Has anyone ever seen one? I'd like to know where it came from. We bought this out of my brother's shop in NC but he knew nothing about it. Would love to find out more. Any info is welcome
The lights were added by my brother I think, it originally was candles. I will look again today for some kind of markings, but I have never seen any before.

I have looked at that site many times in the past and haven't seen one like ours. thanks.
I added another picture to it with the bottom base. I did look again and found no names or markings on it at all to indicate when or where it was from.
From my brother.
That is the only one I have ever seen, bought in an Asheville antique shop . I am so glad it’s saved in the Fisher family!! It looks amazing in your new home! I have another amazing Mermaid light that will be hanging in our new shop in Shelby,soon.
This lady Cerie, came from Chicago,circa 1930s, by Jo Meade , commissioned by Edger Miller. It is signed and I talked to an apprentice of Jo’s, Larry Zogodo, who helped her make approximately 40. I have had two in my shop sold both, and now this one is supposed to be coming back from Palm Beach to resell. I have a copy of the catalog from Jo Meade with the page and cover showing the Mermaid!
