fish tale

FISH TALE is an imaginative art assemblage that harkens back to an earlier time. Its wonderful hand-made appearance is reminiscent of the antique trade signs from the 1900′s. This one-of-a-kind sculpture is made of vintage and antique found objects, as well as the artist hand-carved fish head made of Basswood. Some of the elements include an antique bicycle tank for the fish body and parts of a cross cut saw for the fins. Other components include an antique weight scale, large iron caliper and a wrought iron bracket for a lamp.

Its large whimsical appearance features a 1930s tabletop marble game as the centerpiece, framed with vintage billiard scoring beads. Along with several other antique, vintage and found objects, the other noticeable feature are the four red wheels.
