Between the ribs stand upright bars of translucent green acrylic that fill the side of the hull with colour. A rail runs along the gunwale, a frame of two posts and a cross-bar stands amidships, and slim pins rise near the bow and the stern. Two posts carry the boat above a black marble block, and the whole piece stands inside a clear acrylic case on a dark timber base, all four parts included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Weathered Gold Hull Filled with Green\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hull is the heart of the piece. Its metal is rough and mottled, bright gold-toned where it catches the light and darkening to an old brown in its hollows, so the boat reads as weathered rather than new, and the plates across its middle are broken into irregular patches, as if worn through. Behind them the green acrylic bars show in every gap, translucent and brightening wherever light falls on them, so the hull seems to hold green water. The rail, the ribs, the pins and the frame amidships are fine members in the same gold tone, which keeps the outline of the boat light above the deep curve of its keel, and the two posts lift it clear of the marble so that curve is seen whole from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside its case on a timber base, this is a piece for a surface rather than the floor: a sideboard or a console in a hall, or a wide desk in a study, where it can be looked into from a chair or from standing. The case lets it sit in a busy room or a reception without its rail and pins being caught by a passing hand. Overhead light sets the gold of the hull flaring against its dark patina and brightens the green bars, and against a plain wall the boat's outline stays crisp through the clear case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Case, the Timber Base and Carrying It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. As a commission the length of the boat can be changed, its bars set in another colour of acrylic, and the case and the timber base sized to suit, or the case left off so the boat stands open on its block and base. It is sold as one piece, with all four parts together. To move it, carry it level by the timber base with both hands, and never by the case or the boat. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gold-toned boat filled with green acrylic and closed in a clear case on timber belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e32cm overall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH12 x W50 x D12cm, inside the case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarble Block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH5 x W35 x D15cm, inside the case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH30 x W60 x D30cm, part of the overall height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH2 x W65 x D35cm, part of the overall height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-Toned Metal \u0026amp; Green Acrylic on Black Marble, Clear Acrylic Case, Timber Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371016343899,"sku":"C214","price":2917.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C214.jpg?v=1792087985","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/gold-and-green-cased-boat-metal-sculpture-65cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
