“The line at the back is a person supporting the activity of their partner at the front.”

This stunning sculpture would be a perfect centrepiece, as it’s interesting from every angle. In addition, its elegant fluid lines are coupled with excellent finishing.

Springstone is a hard variety of serpentine stone. Charles has sanded the stone, then heated and waxed it with clear wax to bring out the natural colour of the stone.

Springstone is very hard and impermeable. As a result, it is naturally frost-resistant and can be displayed outdoors – even in temperate climates.

Imperial measurements are:
47 1/4″ (h) x 15 3/4″ (w) x 13 3/4″ (d) and 171lbs.

Overseas shipping is from Zimbabwe via air or sea freight;
P&P at buyer’s expense.

Please note freight is as cargo to your nearest port; you’ll need a clearing agent to do customs clearance and arrange onward haulage to your delivery address. This isn’t as complicated as it might sound, and using an agent is definitely better than trying to do it yourself.

We’d advise you budget roughly the same again for the shipping costs.

N.B. The granite slab pictured is not included with the sculpture.
