The field is wider than it is tall, so the figure lies along the plaque rather than filling it upright. A moulded rim closes the oval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWall Sculpture Polished Against a Matte Ground\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo surfaces do the work here. The flesh is taken to a satin polish so it catches light, while the ground behind is left matte and softly clouded with grey, which pushes the figures forward without deep carving. The grain is fine and even throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plaque read at close range belongs in a room people stand still in: a hallway, a bedroom chimney breast, a dressing room, a study alcove or a cloakroom. It also works as one of a group of ovals and circles on a stair wall. It is too small to carry a large room on its own, so give it a confined wall rather than a broad one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHanging a Small Oval Plaque\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour weeks, which is short only because the piece is small; the flesh modelling is taken to a satin polish by hand and that is most of the time. The oval width is yours, and the moulded rim can be kept, replaced with a plain bevel or cut as a beaded fillet. The figure group is not rearranged. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Seventeen kilograms, boxed rather than crated, and it hangs from a single concealed plate on any solid wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore figure carving is in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figure-art\"\u003efigure wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, and the compact pieces sit 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\u003e50cm\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":53815686857051,"sku":"MST-REL-017","price":7374.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-017_1.jpg?v=1787053641","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/venus-and-cupid-oval-marble-relief-wall-plaque-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
