This Sternbergia micro mosaic forms part of an exquisite Flowers of Jordan panel made from tiny pieces of stone. De Ferranti’s micro-mosaics use tesserae too small to handle comfortably with the fingers, with every piece selected for its natural tone and beauty. Stone, semi-precious hardstones, agates and other mineral materials may be used across the collection. The mosaics are constructed in a vermiculatum style, producing closely flowing courses and active movement around the subject.

Sternbergia Micro Mosaic and Floral Precision

Sternbergia is a compact flowering subject that suits the close control of micro mosaic. Minute tesserae allow the outline of petals and the transition between flower and ground to be developed incrementally rather than through broad blocks. The Sternbergia micro mosaic consequently reads both as a botanical image and as an exercise in fine stone setting.

Within the series, Flowers of Jordan – Tulip offers a related flower study with a different silhouette, while Flowers of Jordan – Black Iris introduces Jordan’s national flower. Semi-Precious Stone Mosaics provides further material context for designers interested in small-scale mineral colour.

Close Viewing and Installation Planning

This is an art-led mosaic whose detail is most evident at close range. Consider the intended sightline and the amount of quiet surface around the panel before fixing its position. If it is grouped with other Flowers of Jordan designs, matching frame dimensions and a consistent lighting approach will help the individual subjects read as a coherent set. Review samples or detailed imagery for exact scale, tonal variation, mineral character and material relationships.
