{"product_id":"ruby-red-and-gold-cleft-cradle-resin-sculpture-52cm","title":"Ruby Red \u0026 Gold Cleft Cradle Resin Sculpture - 52cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby red resin, glossy and translucent, forms this cleft cradle. Its long belly dips between two unequal ends, a low cupped tip and, facing it, a high wall whose top folds back over the hollow in a broad lip. Crinkled gold-toned flakes line the inside of both ends, broken here and there by flashes of red and a few smoky patches, and seen through the outer wall they turn the belly a mottled red-gold. Every rim darkens almost to black. No stand comes with it; the cradle sits on a short flat beneath its belly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRuby Red Outside, Gold-Toned Flakes Within\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed and gold divide the work here: the ruby holds the outer wall and the gold-toned flakes line the inner faces, so which colour leads depends on where you stand. Approached from the open side, both ends flash gold, while the outer wall stays a deep, glassy red with every rim drawn in near-black. The flakes are crinkled and broken rather than laid flat, so the gold catches the light in uneven patches and the red glints between them like embers. Across the belly the two colours mix into a mottled red-gold. Because one end stays low and cupped while the opposite one climbs to its folded lip, the piece reads in a single direction, and the high wall holds its gold in one broad sweep on the side that faces the hollow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts open side should face the room, so a console, a credenza or a generous desk suits it, since the gold lining is seen at its best from the front. Side light from a lamp catches the crinkled flakes patch by patch, and daylight from behind turns the outer wall a glowing ruby. A plain pale wall keeps the red deep and the near-black rims crisp, while dark timber makes the whole piece read warmer and older. Leave space at either end, so that the cupped tip and the curled lip both stay in view.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRuby, Gold-Toned Flakes and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. Made to commission, the ruby can be deepened towards garnet or brightened towards cherry, and the gold-toned flakes laid more sparsely, or left out so that the inside is red as well. A frosted surface can replace the gloss, softening the ruby to a velvet red, and the cradle can be made at another width with its two ends kept in proportion. A fitted crate carries it, bedded under the belly with the curled lip padded, and on arrival it comes out cradled in both hands beneath the belly, never held by the lip or the tip. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuby red outside and lined with crinkled gold-toned flakes inside, this cleft cradle sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Ruby Red Resin with Gold-Toned Flakes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54369323024731,"sku":"H033-3","price":2447.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H033__3.jpg?v=1792074304","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/ruby-red-and-gold-cleft-cradle-resin-sculpture-52cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
