{"product_id":"gold-bird-relief-guardian-lion-resin-pillar-89-96-140cm","title":"Gold Bird Relief Guardian Lion Resin Pillar - 89\/96\/140cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA square pillar in clear resin, offered in three heights. Each face is gently waved rather than flat, gold flecks are scattered through the body, and the faces carry a gilded bird-and-branch relief: one bird on a bare branch above a low mound near the top, and beneath it a flowering branch with two more birds on it. A seated guardian lion faces forward from a separate cap block at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGilded Birds and Branches Up a Clear Column\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things are happening on the surface at once. The relief stands proud of the face and is gilded, so it reads as a dark gold drawing on a near-colourless ground, with the branches drawn thin and the birds worked solid enough to show a beak and a tail. Behind and around it the flecks sit at every depth in the material, denser in some passages than others, so the ground is never quite blank. The waved faces then do something the relief cannot: because no face is a true plane, the highlight runs as a soft vertical band and moves as you cross the room, which keeps a tall clear object from looking like a length of extrusion. The lion on the cap is the one figurative element, its curled mane fully gilded and its body left clear so it does not read as a solid gold ornament sitting on glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are hall and threshold pieces, and they work in twos. Each pillar stands on a narrow square, so two can flank a doorway, a stair foot or a fireplace on very little floor. At 140cm the tallest reads as a floor piece and stands on its own, while the other two heights sit near a seated visitor's eye on a console, a wide shelf or a low plinth. Whichever height, the relief only registers close to, so set them where people pass near them, not across a large room. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Heights, and Whether the Relief Is Gilded\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. A set of three is matched for fleck density rather than made independently. The three heights are the size options, all on the same square plan, so the proportion changes with the height: the tallest is a slender column and the lowest reads closer to a block. The gilding is the other decision. The relief and the lion are supplied gilded as here, or left in clear resin with only the flecks carrying the gold, which is a much quieter object and the better answer where the walls are already busy. The relief itself can be run as the bird and branch here, as bamboo, or as plain waved faces with no relief at all. Each pillar is boxed upright in a fitted case with the cap block packed apart and located by hand on site, and one person can carry the lowest while the tallest is a two-person lift. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lion pillar with gilded birds up its faces belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a pair to frame a doorway leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gilded relief sealed in the resin joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH89 x W20 x D20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH96 x W20 x D20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH140 x W20 x D20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin with Gilded Relief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"89cm","offer_id":53956645978459,"sku":"R184-89CM","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"96cm","offer_id":53956649550171,"sku":"R184-96CM","price":3847.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"140cm","offer_id":53956649582939,"sku":"R184-140CM","price":4860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R184.jpg?v=1791309950","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/gold-bird-relief-guardian-lion-resin-pillar-89-96-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
