{"product_id":"multi-colour-graded-antlered-stag-resin-sculpture-98cm","title":"Multi-Colour Graded Antlered Stag Resin Sculpture - 98cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag in graded resin, this sculpture stands square with its head up and a full rack of branching antlers rising above it. The iridescent grade holds its deepest amber through the antlers and the whole head, warms through the neck and shoulder, clears across the barrel and falls away to blue at the hind legs and the tail. The antlers are the widest part of the piece and they carry the strongest colour, so the eye is taken to the top of the animal first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Grade Carried Up Into the Antlers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntlers are the hard part of a graded animal. They branch, they are thin, and every tine has two faces and a tip, so colour that reads evenly across a flank can look heavy in a fork and weak at a point unless its depth is judged tine by tine. The amber end of the grade is therefore carried up into the rack on purpose rather than left where the body's grade would put it. The test is the join with the head: rack and head have to agree there, or the antlers look as though they came from another animal, and a rack that does not agree is not used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag with a rack this wide needs clearance above and to both sides, so an open floor, the turn of a stair or the middle of a large room suits it better than a corner. At this height the antlers are at standing eye level, which is where they should be. Daylight or a cool lamp keeps both ends of the grade honest; a warm bulb takes the blue out. Against a pale wall the whole grade reads at once; against a dark one only the amber front carries and the hindquarters vanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAntlers, Grade Direction and Handling on Site\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The spread of the antlers and their tine count are chosen with the order, and a hind can be cast without them. The grade can be turned round, kept to one tint, or made in another pair of colours, and an uncoloured clear stag is made too. Grazing and lying poses can be made to match at this scale, and any height is cut to order. Animals ordered together are matched to one another before they leave the studio. One crate holds the body with the antlers packed clear of it, and the rack seats by hand. Two people set the body down; one carries the antlers along their length. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag carrying its colour up into its antlers belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a full branching rack leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a grade from amber to blue 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\u003e98cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with an Iridescent Graded Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54018542174555,"sku":"R173","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R173.jpg?v=1791309924","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-graded-antlered-stag-resin-sculpture-98cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
