{"product_id":"clear-ice-cut-lion-column-resin-sculpture-98cm","title":"Clear Ice-Cut Lion Column Resin Sculpture - 98cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small guardian lion with gold glinting in its mane sits on the flat cap of a square column, whose faces are cut into shallow irregular planes so its edges waver like a block of broken ice. Gold leaf is caught through the shaft at different depths, some flakes bright and some dulled to olive where they lie deep. The column comes with the lion as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Lion on a Shaft of Broken Ice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting the faces rough is a one-way job: a plane taken too deep cannot be put back, so the facets are worked shallow first and deepened only where the outline needs it, with the four arrises kept straight so the shaft still reads as square. Behind each facet the gold flakes shift as you move, which is the effect the rough cutting is for. The lion is cut separately with its mane in tight knots and seated on the cap last, where a flat seat lets it be set square to the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 98cm the lion meets the eye of someone sitting, so the column belongs on the floor by an easy chair, a sofa or either side of a fireplace. Light from one side sets the facets flashing against each other; a downlight leaves the shaft grey. A matching pair can flank an opening, each priced on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFacets, Leaf and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The faces can stay rough as here or be polished smooth, and the gold can be thickened, thinned, swapped for silver or left out. The lion can be gilded, tinted or kept clear. The column and lion travel together in one crate, the lion wrapped on its own and seated by hand when the shaft is standing, and one person can manage it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear lion over a shaft cut like shattered ice belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; facets cut rough on every face lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gold dulled to olive where it lies deep 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\u003e19.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 x 18 x 78.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIce-Textured 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":54260546634075,"sku":"R282","price":3376.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R282.jpg?v=1791315016","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-ice-cut-lion-column-resin-sculpture-98cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
