Mosaics – All Disciplines

From the 4th Century BC, mosaics were used throughout the ancient world to decorate domestic walls and floors. As the art flourished through into the Christian era, a dazzling variety of different techniques, from Cosmati and Opus Sectile to Pietre Dure, began to develop under the wealthy patronage of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

De Ferranti offers access both to the rarified world of traditional mosaic studios and to contemporary craftsmen who have brought this ancient art firmly into the modern day.
