Below the flat cap one face carries a carved panel, its border scrolled and its field worked in low relief. A small guardian lion of the same clear material, flecked with gold, sits on the cap, and the column rests on a dark square foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlecks Read as Depth at This Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this height the leaf stops being a decoration and becomes the way the piece is read. A tall shaft of clear resin is otherwise a plain prism, and what gives it depth is that the flakes sit at different distances from the face: near ones catch the light, far ones go dark, and the eye reads the section as a volume rather than a surface. They are laid in as the shaft is built up, a handful at a time, and the distribution is judged with the piece standing rather than lying, because flakes settle. The panel is cut afterwards into a finished face, which is the harder order to work in but the only one that keeps the surface around it flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a hundred and eighty this is a floor piece standing above head height for most people, so it belongs where height is wanted: a hallway, a stair foot, the corner of a large room, either side of an opening. It needs a level floor and open space above it. The flecks want daylight from the side; under a single downlight the shaft goes flat and only the cap lights up. Against a dark wall the gold reads as a scatter of points suspended in the air, which is the best of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Panel, the Finial and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. What is cut into the panel is settled at order, and it is made to your own wording or left as a plain uncut face. The leaf comes in gold, silver or copper, or the shaft can be made clear with none at all, and a tint through the resin is available. The animal on the cap is made as this one, as a sphere, or omitted. Other heights are made to order. The shaft travels standing, cased, with the animal boxed separately and set on the cap after the column is in place; take the shaft by the body, keep it vertical, and never lift it by the cap. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gold-flecked column under a small clear lion belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a carved panel framed by a scroll leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and leaf suspended at every depth 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Suspended Gold Leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020754637147,"sku":"R264","price":10530.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R264.jpg?v=1791313487","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-fleck-column-cast-resin-sculpture-180cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
