An extraordinary and exceptional Maitland Smith sculptural lighting work, distinguished by its monumental weight, mixed-material construction and museum grade presence. The figural frog is crafted in cast metal with bronze patina, giving it depth, warmth and visual richness of true bronze sculpture. It stands beneath an umbrella shade composed of individually set amber and honey toned tesserae, creating a jewel like illumination when lit. The lamp rest on an extremely heavy, solid stone base. giving the piece architectural gravitas and the permanence of a gallery sculpture. The weight is a hallmark of Maitland Smith’s highest tier production~ a signal of artisan construction not mass manufacture.
