Golden Treble – Puzzle
$35.00
This is a musical symbol turned into a sculpture. You're looking at a treble clef built entirely from quilled paper coils, hand-rolled and shaped into precise curves that hold their form. The piece uses cream and gold paper strips layered and stacked to create oval coils that line the flowing edges of the clef. A thin black outline frames the entire shape, giving it definition and making each curve read clearly. The center stays open and airy, which is exactly right for a musical symbol. The detail work is meticulous: individual coils are placed side by side along the upper loop, the spiral, and down the stem, each one catching light slightly differently depending on how the paper curls. The cream and gold palette gives the piece a warm, elegant feel without being fussy. This isn't a flat representation of a musical note. It's dimensional, with depth created entirely through layering and positioning hundreds of individual paper elements by hand. The shadows between coils add to the sense that this is a real object sitting on the surface, not just a clever drawing.
Vivid, durable puzzle board with satin finish and snug-cut pieces for repeat assembly.
