For the most accurate result, these mosaics are ideally supplied and fitted by our specialist artisans, ensuring alignment, transitions, and final polishing are executed exactly as intended.

Roman Geometric Mosaic Border and Trompe l’Oeil Rhythm

The Villa del Tellaro mosaics belong to the rich late Roman pavement tradition of south-eastern Sicily, where geometric and figurative compositions were used together. Here, the historic reference is concentrated into a border format that can structure a room without requiring a full archaeological-style field. Mosaic Border Trompe L’oeil (mod A.54740004A) is the closely related companion design. Monochromatico Fascia Ritmica offers a quieter rhythmic alternative.

Corners, Curves and Historical Geometry

For a Roman geometric mosaic border, set out complete repeats before fixing and resolve every corner or return on drawings. Where the design is used around columns, templates should establish circumference and junctions so the geometry remains legible. Sample the border with grout and adjoining stone, then confirm fixing, sealing and slip requirements for the intended setting. Swimming-pool and warm-climate exterior use should be reviewed against project-specific substrate, exposure and maintenance conditions before installation.
