Thin silver wires loop wide from the spray, cross back over the body and come round to form a ring off the crest's open side, with seven gilded leaves spaced along it. Its colour is richest down at the foot and pales as the wave climbs, and a marble base carries it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSky Blue Climbing to a Frosted Crest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cool sky blue suits a form this full of movement, because it keeps the eye on the shape rather than on the colour. The tint pools deepest in the trough, where the water is heaviest, and lightens through the long climbing body until, at the crest and in the spray, the blue turns to frosted white. The silver wires are kept thin enough to all but disappear, so the leaves seem to float beside the crest, and each is set at a slightly different tilt, so the ring sparkles unevenly as you move round it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn its marble base it reaches 87cm and suits a deep console or a hall sideboard, where the ring of leaves meets the eye as people pass. A deep-toned wall, navy or slate, makes the sky blue and the gilding stand out, and soft light from a window to one side lifts the frost at the tips. It needs a little room around it, since the wires reach out on both sides. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Blue, the Gilding and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The order is for a single wave on its marble base, sold on its own. Commissioned, the sky blue can be taken deeper or paler, the frost at the tips made heavier, the ring of leaves opened out or drawn in, and the gilding changed for silver, with a different stone for the base if preferred. A fitted crate carries it, its wires braced against movement and its leaves sleeved singly, the base boxed apart, and the wave goes onto its base once both are unpacked. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSky-blue water rising past a circle of gilt leaves on thin silver wire has company in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e81cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSky Blue Cast Resin with Gilt Metal Leaves on a Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54342515032411,"sku":"L120-3","price":2025.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L115__2.jpg?v=1791887836","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/sky-blue-upswept-wave-and-gilt-leaves-resin-sculpture-87cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
