Chequerboard Cosmati and Mosaic Panel – lightly aged, a lightly aged Cosmati, is beautifully crafted by hand, by artisans who have handed down this craft from father to son. Supplied either loose or on mesh, this attentively created cosmati floor can be used throughout, as a border, or a central tableau or carpet. In addition, the degree of antiquing can be varied to client wishes. It is all possible at De Ferranti, as we pride ourselves on our ability to be fully customisable. We are also able to use historic marbles, often extinct, if required, as we have sources of old fragments and blocks.

Lightly Aged Cosmati in Detail

Chequerboard Cosmati and Mosaic Panel – lightly aged is best understood as a complete composition rather than a single repeating tessera. Its geometry is organised across the whole panel, allowing changes in scale, colour and framing to carry the design. In Cosmati work, the dialogue between larger stone shapes and smaller mosaic detail gives the surface both structure and close-range intricacy.

Within the same collection, Chequerboard Cosmati and Mosaic Panel – Very Aged and Cabochon in Giallo Antico, White Marble and Brown Porphyry offer useful comparisons in scale, colour and repeat. The wider Cosmati – Sacred Geometry in Coloured Stone & Smalti is also relevant when a project needs to coordinate this surface with other patterned pavements rather than treat it as an isolated decorative insert.

Sample Review and Setting-Out

The recorded applications include flooring, wall applications, bathrooms, kitchens and fireplace surrounds. For the lightly aged Cosmati, confirm the final scale, colour balance and orientation from samples or shop drawings before installation. Where the composition includes rare marbles, glass, semi-precious material or a deliberately aged finish, natural and hand-worked variation should be treated as part of the approved character rather than as a defect.
