{"product_id":"clear-gold-leaf-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-50cm","title":"Clear Gold-Leaf Stag Cast Resin Sculpture - 50cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast resin stag stands square on its legs with the head up and turned slightly, under a light rack that branches twice on each side. Gold leaf is suspended through the clear resin everywhere, including the antlers and the legs, so the flakes catch as gold where the material is thin and go dark where the body is deep. The legs are slender, the body is modelled plainly, and the whole animal is polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGold Leaf Caught Through a Clear Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaf inside a small animal is a different problem from leaf inside a column. There is no thickness to hide it in, so a flake that lands badly sits right at the surface and reads as a blemish rather than as depth, and the legs and antlers are thin enough that a flake can bridge them entirely. The leaf is kept out of the thin sections deliberately, which is why the flakes gather in the barrel and the haunch. The rack is the other passage: at this size each tine is a couple of centimetres, cut with one point and undercut where it leaves the beam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 50cm this sits on a surface rather than the floor: a console, a sideboard, a hall chest, a wide shelf. It wants light behind or beside it, because the leaf is what the piece is for and a front light closes it down. On a dark surface the flakes read as scattered points and the animal's outline disappears; on a pale one the outline comes back and the gold quietens. It reads from the side, so give it a quarter turn rather than facing it square into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Leaf, the Scale and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The leaf comes in gold as here, in silver or in copper, and a plain clear animal with no leaf at all is made to the same design. Colour is open: an amber, a smoke or a green body will all take the leaf. The turn of the head and the size of the rack are set when it is ordered, and a hind can be made in place of the stag. Sizes run up to a floor-standing stag. It arrives boxed with the legs braced and the rack cased separately; take it up under the chest and never by the antlers. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gold-flecked stag sized for a console belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a light rack branching twice leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gold that darkens deep in the body joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear 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":54020811260251,"sku":"R312","price":2092.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R312.jpg?v=1791315994","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gold-leaf-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
