{"product_id":"champagne-lion-column-on-a-steel-foot-160cm","title":"Champagne Lion Column on a Steel Foot - 160cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lion column rises from a square foot of stainless steel finished in a bronze tone, and above it stands a tall shaft of champagne-tinted resin with gold flecks scattered through it. At the top a gilded cap is pierced with triangular openings, and on it sits a guardian lion in clear, smoky resin, its mane worked in heavy curls. The steel foot, the tinted shaft and the clear lion give the piece three distinct tones from floor to crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Tones From Steel Foot to Clear Lion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shaft is tinted through rather than coloured on the surface, so the champagne deepens where the resin is thickest and the gold flecks hang inside it at different depths. The cap is the most worked passage: its faces are cut through in triangles, and every opening has to line up with the next around the corners so the band reads as one pattern, not four. The lion is left clear so the eye can tell it from the tinted shaft beneath, and its curls are cut deep enough to catch light against the gilded cap. The steel foot is cut square and the shaft is seated into it by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 160cm the lion sits near the eye of a standing visitor, so the column belongs on the floor of an entrance hall, at the foot of a stair or beside a doorway. The steel foot lets it stand straight on stone or timber. A window across the room carries daylight up the tinted shaft, while a downlight picks out little more than the lion and its cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTint, Cap and the Lion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The shaft can be tinted champagne as here, left clear, or run in amber or smoke, and the gold flecks can be thinned or left out. The cap can be pierced as here or left solid, and the lion can be clear, tinted to match the shaft, or gilded. The steel foot comes bronze-toned, mirror-polished or brushed. Foot, shaft and lion are crated together but packed separately, and two people assemble them on site. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall champagne column crowned by a glassy lion belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a gilded cap pierced with triangles leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a shaft standing on bronze-toned steel joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e160cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChampagne Cast Resin with Gold Leaf on Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260546503003,"sku":"R277-2","price":5198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R277-2.jpg?v=1791314996","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/champagne-lion-column-on-a-steel-foot-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
