The column has a fluted band beneath its cap and runs plain to the foot, the gold scattered all the way down it, so the shaft glitters as much as the lion above it. Lion and column come as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGold Leaf From the Lion's Mane to the Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaf is scattered through the lion and the column alike, so they read as a single object, not an animal on a stand. In the lion it gathers in the mane and the chest, where the carving is deepest and the gold catches in the hollows. The fluted band gives the column a capital without a change of material, and every arris on the shaft is kept crisp so the clear edges frame the gold. Each casting carries its own scatter, so no two columns glitter alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 121cm the piece belongs on the floor of a hallway, a landing or beside a doorway, and the lion comes to about chest height on a standing visitor. A plain wall behind lets the gold read; light from the side makes the flakes flash as you pass. In a pair, one either side of an entrance, the lions face out to greet arrivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeaf, Column Height and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. Silver, copper or gold leaf can fill the lion and shaft, thinned or packed more densely, and a different column height can be ordered. The fluted capital can be left plain, and the lion itself can be gilded or left clear while the shaft keeps its leaf. A mirror-image lion can be made so two stand either side of an entrance. A long crate brings it, and lifting it upright takes two people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gold-flecked guardian lion on a tall column belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a lion keeping watch from a height leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gold leaf right down a clear shaft 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\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 15.5 x 100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with 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":54260087193947,"sku":"R096","price":4657.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R096.jpg?v=1791308276","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-flecked-guardian-lion-on-a-column-resin-sculpture-121cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
