Long wires spring from the water and loop out round the open side of the curve, and gilded metal leaves are spaced along them, so the leaves circle the crest like a second, lighter wave. The resin is aqua and clears towards the crest, and the marble beneath it is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn S of Water With a Loop of Gilded Leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves here make a second line, and the piece works because the two lines disagree. The water climbs in an S and curls over; the wires swing out the other way in a wide loop and come back towards the crest, so the eye is pulled round the piece and not just up it. The wires are bright and kept fine, drawn as continuous curves with no kinks, and the leaves along them are spaced so that none crowds its neighbour. The spray that breaks from the curve near the foot is kept short and fingered, and it balances the reach of the wires on the far side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRising 87cm from its marble block, it wants a console, a sideboard or a wide desk in a living room or a study, approached face on or from a little to one side. The loop of wires reaches out past the base, so give it clear space on that side and keep it away from a busy passage. Light from the side makes the gilding flash and sets the aqua glowing. It reads as an S with a halo from across the room, and the leaves come out one at a time as you approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAqua or a Deeper Blue, and the Leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. It is made in this aqua or in a deeper, stronger blue, and the leaves can be gilded or silvered and set in a fuller or a lighter loop. The deeper blue gives the water more presence against the leaves, which then look brighter still. The wave travels in one crate standing on its marble, with the wires braced and the leaves sleeved, ready to be lifted out and put straight in place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn aqua S of water circled by a loop of gilded leaves on fine wires belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e81cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAqua-Tinted Cast Resin with Gilt Metal Leaves on a Black Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208486506843,"sku":"L120","price":2027.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L120.jpg?v=1791887779","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/aqua-upswept-wave-and-gilt-leaves-resin-sculpture-87cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
