This Sidr micro mosaic panel forms part of the Flowers of Jordan series, created from minute pieces of stone selected for their natural tone and beauty. De Ferranti’s micro-mosaics use tesserae too small for ordinary finger handling, with stone, semi-precious hardstones and agates among the materials used across the group. The work is constructed in a vermiculatum style, where curving courses of tesserae create movement and help the field respond to the botanical subject.

Sidr Micro Mosaic Panel and Fine Stone Setting

The Sidr subject adds a specifically regional botanical reference to the collection. Its branches, leaves and fruiting forms can be defined through shifts in tessera direction rather than through heavy outlines alone. This is where the Sidr micro mosaic panel benefits from a fine scale: the image remains recognisable, but the craftsmanship reveals itself more fully when seen at close range.

Flowers of Jordan – Olive provides a complementary tree motif, while Flowers of Jordan – Sternbergia offers a more delicate flowering study. For projects interested in the relationship between mosaic and hardstone inlay, Semi-Precious Stone Mosaics and Pietre Dure / Pierre Dure provide useful adjacent references.

Framing and Grouped Installation

The panel can stand alone as an art installation or form part of a botanical sequence. When several panels are specified together, coordinate their centres, visual spacing and surrounding field so the series reads as a deliberate ensemble. Neutral stone, plaster or timber can provide an effective frame. Samples and detailed images should be reviewed to understand tessera scale and natural tonal variation before final material selection.
