{"product_id":"clear-gilded-lion-relief-column-sculpture-190cm","title":"Clear Gilded Lion Relief Column Sculpture - 190cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear square shaft with gold leaf inside it, this resin column carries a gilded relief up its front, a bird perched under broad leaves with sprays of branches nearer the foot, and finishes in a flat cap with a gilded lion seated on top. The height given includes the lion. The relief therefore starts at the knee and finishes overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGilded Relief Read at Head Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelief at this height is read in two ways at once, and that changes how it is cut. Near the floor it is met close up, at the distance where a fingernail's depth of undercut matters; near the cap it is seen from below at an angle, where the same undercut disappears entirely. So the depth is graded up the shaft - shallow at the bottom, progressively deeper toward the top - and the gilding is applied with the shaft standing, so each passage is judged from the distance it will actually be seen from rather than from a bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a hundred and ninety over the two parts the lion sits above the eye and the relief covers the whole standing height, so this is a floor piece for an entrance, a stair foot, a double-height hall or one side of an opening. The traditional setting is a pair, one to each side, and one column is what this price buys. It needs level floor and headroom above the lion. Daylight from the side lifts the gold off the clear resin; a ceiling light finds the lion and the top of the relief only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Relief, the Heights and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. What is worked up the shaft is open: these birds and branches, blossom, bamboo, a band of characters cut to your own wording, or a plain flecked face. Silver and copper gilding are offered as well as this gold, and the leaf inside the resin can be left out. The animal on the cap is made as this lion, as a sphere or as a lotus bud. It ships upright, cased, with the lion boxed apart and seated once the shaft is standing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall column crowned by a gilded lion belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; gilded birds on branches up the shaft lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and leaf glinting through the whole column joins 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\u003eColumn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH170.4 x W20 x D20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH20 x W15 x D20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with Gilded Relief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020858904923,"sku":"R328","price":5670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R328.jpg?v=1791316567","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gilded-lion-relief-column-sculpture-190cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
