In place of antlers, branches grow from the crown and fork again and again into a wide, open spread of thin limbs, each carrying small pointed leaves along its length. Nothing is dense: the branches read as lines drawn in the air rather than as mass, and everything is optically clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAntlers That Grow Into Leafed Branches\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery branch on this piece is a cantilever, and there are dozens of them. Each needs enough section at the fork to hold its reach and little enough at the tip to pass for a twig, and the taper between the two is judged by eye against its neighbours rather than to a rule, because a branch that thins evenly along its length looks manufactured. The leaves are set on afterwards, each one seated into its own small socket, which is the only way they can be given the slight independent twist a leaf has. The head and neck are taken to a smoother finish than the branches: they are the one solid form under a spread of lines, and the seat where the limbs leave the crown is cut broad and polished until the join disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis needs floor and a good deal of it, and it needs air on every side: the branches spread far beyond the head, so an open corner, a stair well or a room with space around it will take the piece and an alcove will not. Measure the doorways before the room. A plain wall or a window behind it is what makes the branches read as a drawing; against planting the crown disappears into what is behind it. Light from one side is what shows the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpread, the Leaves and Bringing It Through a Door\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The spread and the number of branches are set at order, and the antlers can be grown denser or kept sparse. A bird or two can be perched among the branches if wanted. The leaves can be left off for bare winter branches. The resin can be tinted warm or cool right through, or the branches alone gilded against a clear head and neck. Any height is cut to order. It arrives in two crates, the branches packed apart from the head and neck, and goes together by hand on site; it takes three people to raise. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntlers that branch into a leafed crown belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; thin limbs drawn like lines in the air lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a head and neck of clear resin join our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e170cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e98cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019284533595,"sku":"R217","price":9315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R217.jpg?v=1791312199","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-deer-head-with-leafed-branch-antlers-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
