Mantle II

A delicate latticework of hundreds of verdigris bronze petals, each with an underside gilded in 24-carat gold leaf, give these modern outdoor sculptures an ethereal glow that suggests an inner life force. A breath–taking effect made even more dramatic at night by subtle internal illumination.

Mantle II is a limited edition of 150 pieces.

Product information

Supplied with a bronze fixing ring at the base. The client will need to provide a stone or concrete pad to attach this ring to. Stainless steel bolts are then resin fixed into holes and drilled into the stone or concrete pad, to provide a secure fixing. It is possible to integrate a low voltage LED uplighter in the base of the piece for which an electrical supply will need to emerge up through the centre of the concrete pad. We supply the driver for the LED.

Installation and delivery are included in the price for UK commissions. For overseas shipping, quotes can be obtained and will be charged at cost.

The finishes will exhibit some natural weathering with age. However, periodic cleaning will help preserve its beauty. We would recommend that it be cleaned at least once a year but only with warm water and a soft cloth to remove any detritus. Use of any abrasive cleaner will damage the finish and must be avoided. The interior gilding should be washed gently with a garden hose, a high-pressure hose should be avoided at all costs. Maintenance instructions will be issued on installation.
