McCLELLAND BARCLAY Sterling Silver Art Deco Fish Brooch

McCLELLAND BARCLAY Sterling Silver Art Deco Fish Brooch

This sterling silver Art Deco fish brooch is not often seen. It has a particular connection to the artist, for McClelland Barclay loved the sea and all things nautical. This included fishing. One of his first summer jobs involved collecting fish species for the US Bureau of Fisheries at Woods Hole, MA.
