The body is colourless and the leaf is the only colour on it, glinting where the outline turns. Two supports come with it: a stone block, and a plate beneath that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetal That Comes and Goes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetal inside a casting behaves as nothing applied to a surface can: it is there from one position and gone from the next. Leaf applied to the outside of a sculpture is there from every angle. Leaf laid inside the casting is not: it catches at some positions and disappears at others as the material turns, so the piece is never quite the same object twice. Gold leaf laid into a clear body sits at a depth rather than on the surface, so the edges glint from some angles and vanish from others as the material turns. Polished over every face, and the leaf is under the polish rather than over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt belongs on a cabinet top or a wide desk, at the two or three feet from which the cutting reads. Dark behind it is what makes the gold carry; a pale ground turns the whole thing into an outline. Light from one side is what fires the leaf. Move the light and a different set of edges lights up. The gold announces it from the door and the S-curve of the outline is what holds you once you are there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRunning the Leaf Further, and One Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The leaf can be run over more of the form, it can be left out, and the plate can be finished in another metal. Run the leaf over the faces as well as the edges and the plate stops being transparent, which is a decision about the whole object rather than a finish. One crate with the two supports packed beneath, and they stack in the order they are taken out. Two people. The plate goes down first, then the block, then the casting. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold leaf held in clear resin over a steel plate leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the S-curved plate above belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a study lit from one side shows its gold among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 x 15 x 15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase Plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 10 x 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with Gold Leaf on Marble and Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54113485554011,"sku":"Z610","price":1957.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z610.jpg?v=1790877237","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-gold-leaf-s-curve-plate-resin-sculpture-69cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
