This cross motif stone mosaic is a simple and eye catching design showing crosses floating over a textured cream mosaic bed. Each stone is carefully selected, cut and then assembled by hand. The slight indentations in the mosaic field enhance the beauty of this mosaic despite its simplicity. The jet black tramline border connects with the checkered black tesserae in the Cross Motif, causing a subtle contrast against the warm red. Of particular interest is the direction of the small tesserae, they contra flow either side of the border. Only the discerning eye would pick this up, a small detail with maximum impact. As is the case with all the De Ferranti Mosaic collections, we are able to fully customise the materials, colours and tailor the mosaics to your space, creating unique and personalised pieces.

Cross Motif Stone Mosaic on a Cream Field

Small red and black cross forms are spaced across a pale field rather than joined into a continuous lattice. Their compact scale leaves generous areas of cream tesserae visible, allowing the directional laying pattern of the background to become part of the design. At the edge, paired black tramlines introduce a horizontal datum and frame the open composition. Floreale Mosaic uses a similarly pale ground with larger repeating motifs, while Fiortetta provides a denser red, black and ochre ornamental band.

Spacing, Borders and Perimeter Cuts

For a cross motif stone mosaic, establish crosses in relation to axes, thresholds and borders before fixing. The open ground makes uneven spacing or a clipped motif noticeable. Where the black tramline is used, corners and returns should be set out so its width stays consistent. Grout should be sampled against the cream field and dark details. The Stone & Marble Mosaics collection offers related fields and borders. Confirm substrate, sealing, slip and exposure requirements for installation.
