{"product_id":"deep-amber-crescent-steel-stem-resin-sculpture-57cm","title":"Deep Amber Crescent Steel Stem Resin Sculpture - 57cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crescent of cast resin that sweeps up from a fine point at one end to a tall, rounded lip at the other, so the two ends finish at quite different heights and widths. Deep amber runs through the body, darkest through the belly and the hollow of the curve, and clears to a golden honey up the outer face of the tall end. A short polished steel stem carries it from a stainless steel block, and both are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Point at One End and a Lip at the Other\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLifting a crescent on a stem rather than setting it on a block changes what the two ends are doing. On a block the lower end is the foot and the form reads as supported; on a stem the piece is held at one point near its middle and both ends are free, which is the whole argument for the asymmetry between them. The stem is kept short for the same reason. A tall one would make the crescent an object on a stand, where a short one, polished and slender, lets it read as held from beneath rather than displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA writing desk or a console, turned so the lip faces out - that is the view where the two ends differ most. A source behind it carries the amber through the tall end, where the colour clears to honey. The polished stem and block ask for a plain surface, where nothing busy is caught in the steel. Lifted on a short stem, the crescent clears the block and is read against the wall, with the fine point and the rounded lip finishing at quite different heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeights, the Amber and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The amber is cleared at the lip or deepened through the tall end, and the stem is drawn out further. Overall height is picked at the order, and the stem is made to suit the crescent above it. A longer stem is made where the crescent is wanted well clear of the surface, though it then reads as an object on a stand rather than one held. Stem, block and crescent travel in one box with the fine point protected, and the piece is lifted by its block, never by either end of the crescent. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stem beneath it is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the crescent is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and deep amber belongs in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 x 28 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin on Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54091233395035,"sku":"H257","price":2230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H257.jpg?v=1791979263","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/deep-amber-crescent-steel-stem-resin-sculpture-57cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
