Gold runs thick through this column: flakes of leaf crowd the whole square shaft, and a guardian lion sits directly on its top, its head gilded and its body shot through with gold. Up the front a gilded bird perches on a single curved branch over a low mound, with a spray of twigs below it. Column and lion are sold together as one piece, the column included in the price.
Here the leaf is packed densely, so the shaft glitters from every side and the gilded relief has to hold its own against it. The bird and its branch are therefore cut deeper than on a sparsely flecked shaft, and their edges are kept sharp so a line of shadow separates gold relief from gold flake. The lion has no cap beneath it: it sits straight on the top of the shaft, which makes the column read as one block rising into the animal. Its head is gilded and its body carries the same leaf as the column, tying the two together.
At 92cm it stands on the floor next to an armchair or a sofa's end, where the lion meets a seated visitor's eye. The dense gold reads best against a dark wall, and a lamp nearby makes the flakes flash as people pass. A pair either side of a fireplace or a doorway works well, and a single one can close the end of a corridor.
The standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. How much leaf goes into the shaft is chosen at order, from this dense fill to a light scatter, and silver or copper can replace the gold. The relief can carry another subject or be left off, and the lion can be clear, partly gilded as here, or gold all over. It ships in a single fitted crate with the lion wrapped apart, and it is light enough for one person, who should lift it by the shaft rather than the lion. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.
A guardian lion seated straight on a gilded column belongs with our lion statues; a bird perched on one curved branch leads to our classic sculptures, and a shaft crowded with gold flakes joins our resin sculptures.
