Foliage is massed across the foot of the field, and a plain moulded rim closes the oval all the way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMarble Wall Art Composed Inside a Standing Oval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval gives you no corners to hide in, so the figure has to sit on the long axis exactly or the whole thing looks tilted. The staff is used to hold that axis and everything else is balanced against it: the victory on one side, the foliage across the base. The rim is turned last so it runs true against the finished field. The stone is white with a close pale matrix and a soft honed finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oval suits a wall where a rectangle would fight the architecture: over a console, on a landing, between two doors, in a panelled hall or above a fireplace. It wants to be centred and hung on its own, because an oval next to a square panel makes both look like mistakes, and it takes a soft even light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Carved Detail and Fixing an Oval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix weeks. The rim is set out and the long axis struck before any carving begins, since an oval that is even slightly out of true reads as a fault the moment it meets a level wall, and there is no correcting it afterwards. Proportion is yours, and whatever detail you want carved in the field is cut to your order. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 233kg, crated flat, and it hangs on concealed plates into masonry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompanion oval panels are in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figure-art\"\u003efigure wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, with the rest of the range under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-art\"\u003emarble wall art\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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53819151483227,"sku":"MST-REL-068","price":11127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-068_1.jpg?v=1787068163","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/standing-figure-and-victory-marble-oval-relief-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
