Edgar Simpson (jeweller)

Belt buckle of silver, enamel and mother of pearl designed and made by Edgar Simpson. Simpson was influenced by C R Ashbee, and specilised in dolphins and fish, as in this piece. A similar piece to this one was described at the time as a 'circular pendant where the swirling motion of the water is conveyed by elegant curving lines of silver, with a pearl, to represent an air bubble, issuing from the fish's mouth.'
