Acanthus scrollwork gathers beneath them and flowering branches climb the sides. A moulded frame runs round the whole arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBird Wall Art Carved to Match on Both Halves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSymmetrical work is unforgiving, because any difference between the two halves reads immediately as a mistake rather than as variety. Both birds here match through the neck, the wing and the tail. Fine grey veining threads through the ground and the frame moulding, and the undercutting is deep on both sides equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrnamental symmetry suits a formal position: centred over a doorway, on a chimney breast, at the head of a stair, on a garden wall on axis with a path or in a panelled dining room. Hung off centre it loses the whole point, so it wants a wall with a clear middle to sit on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAcanthus Scrollwork and Flowering Branches\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. Both halves are worked together rather than one after the other, because matching them afterwards is not possible, and that doubles the bench time at every stage. It also means the piece is carved by one pair of hands from start to finish. The panel is yours to size, and the moulded frame can be exchanged for a plain flat margin. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. It comes in near 1,079kg, crated flat, and needs a structural fixing rather than plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther birds are under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-art\"\u003eanimal wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, with the ornamental panels in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-art\"\u003emarble wall art\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\u003e200cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53815935795547,"sku":"MST-REL-051","price":30611.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-051_1.jpg?v=1787053692","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/confronting-birds-and-palmette-marble-relief-200cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
