They are set on a round tray of brushed brass, and the delivery is two castings and the tray. The second casting is longer and lies low, running out in a spur toward the front of the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Same Metal in Two States\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is gold in two conditions here and they have to be kept apart. The leaf in the castings is broken and weightless and takes its light through the body; the brass beneath is solid, continuous and takes its light off the top. Put them together carelessly and the tray simply reads as more of the same material, with the mountains dissolving into it. The brushing is what separates them, and its direction is the decision: the grain is run across the line of the peaks rather than along it, so the tray throws light sideways while the castings hold theirs, and the eye reads one as ground and the other as object. An unbrushed tray would mirror the peaks and double them, which is a different and much noisier piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round tray is a serious footprint and wants to be seen whole, so an island or a wide console with nothing else on it is the setting. More of it is seen looking down than looking across, which makes it a table piece rather than a shelf piece. Keep a strong directional light off it if you can: brushed brass takes a hard spot badly and throws it straight back. Soft light from more than one direction lets the leaf inside the castings do the work instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Tray, the Leaf, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. Positions on the tray are marked to your plan, the leaf is torn coarse or fine, and the tray is made at other sizes or in a darker patina. A stainless version of the tray is offered and is cooler and flatter under the same castings. The bodies are also tinted, though a tint competes with the leaf and is worth seeing before it is settled. It travels as two cases, the tray flat with a facing on each side and the peaks packed clear of it, and the tray is lifted by its edges. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold-leafed peaks set out on a made surface belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; leaf held through two clear castings earns the piece a place in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the round tray of brushed brass beneath ties it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 x 70 x 2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold Leaf Cast Resin on Brushed Brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54067988496731,"sku":"S262","price":3105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S262.jpg?v=1790854163","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-leaf-mountain-group-on-brass-resin-sculpture-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
