Design details
A breathtaking effect made even more dramatic at night by subtle internal illumination.
A high level of craftsmanship is required as each petal is delicately assembled, positioned and welded into place.
The intrinsic strength of the sphere and its interconnecting petal structure allows the piece to be dramatically scaled up.
The combination of Mantle II’s LED lighting with its lustrous 23¾ carat gilded surface creates a glowing fireball by day and a stunning lantern by night.
“I spent my entire life in the service industry and ALWAYS understood that the customer was always right. So, without hesitation let me say that from the initial contact through to delivery, the whole thing was simply the best. Well done to all the team.
Well done, too, on the Mantle 11 – a magnificent piece of work that graces our garden looking out to sea!”

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 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.
