{"product_id":"weeping-angel-marble-headstone-150cm","title":"Weeping Angel Marble Headstone - 150cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA winged figure laid across the top of a tapered marble pedestal, one arm hanging down over a carved laurel wreath, the wings folded back and trailing to the base. The pedestal stands on a two-step plinth with a laurel spray at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Weeping Angel Statue as an Angel Headstone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure and the pedestal are carved separately and fitted, which is how the wings can trail past the pedestal edge without a joint showing. The wreath, the draped swag and the feathering are all cut by hand, and the marble is left with a soft honed finish rather than a high polish so the form reads clearly in flat light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a memorial piece, intended for a grave plot, a family plot or a private garden of remembrance. It needs a firm level foundation because most of the weight sits in the pedestal. Marble is suitable for permanent outdoor display, and the honed surface weathers to a soft patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInscription, Foundation and Lead Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLettering is cut by hand into the pedestal face, and we set out the inscription for your approval before a single letter is carved; allow six weeks from the moment you sign it off. As carved the memorial reaches 150cm; tell us the plot and we will quote it to suit. The pedestal can be left plain or panelled, and honed as standard or polished. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. The pedestal carries most of the 2.6 tonnes, so the plot needs a concrete foundation laid before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur full memorial range is in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-headstones\"\u003emarble headstones\u003c\/a\u003e, with the wider stone range under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-sculptures\"\u003emarble 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\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural White Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53785578406235,"sku":"MST-MEM-001","price":34229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-001_1_0ea78f3b-bb2b-40fe-aa0e-81b390c8176d.jpg?v=1786722734","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/weeping-angel-marble-headstone-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
