Chequerboard Cosmati Panel with Red Jasper Keystone, a red jasper Cosmati, is beautifully crafted by hand, by artisans who have handed down this craft from father to son. Use as a repeating tile, as an enlarged version to make a central tableau, change materials and colours, play with different textures… It is all possible at De Ferranti, as we pride ourselves on our ability to be fully customisable. We are also able to use historic marbles, often extinct, if required, as we have sources of old fragments and blocks. These may include Giallo Antico from Numidia, antique green porphyry (serpentine), antique red Egyptian porphyry palombino from Asia Minor, and of course, our vast range of semi-precious stones.

Red Jasper Cosmati in Detail

Chequerboard Cosmati Panel with Red Jasper Keystone is best understood as a complete composition rather than a single repeating tessera. Its geometry is organised across the whole panel, allowing changes in scale, colour and framing to carry the design. In Cosmati work, the dialogue between larger stone shapes and smaller mosaic detail gives the surface both structure and close-range intricacy.

Compare Cosmati Border (mod A.54710009A) and Chequerboard Cosmati and Mosaic Panel – Very Aged for related approaches to material and geometry. The wider Cosmati – Sacred Geometry in Coloured Stone & Smalti provides additional context for coordinating this design with borders, field pavements and adjacent surfaces.

Pattern Scale and Project Review

The recorded applications include flooring, wall applications, bathrooms, fireplace surrounds and tabletops. For the red jasper Cosmati, confirm the final scale, colour balance and orientation from samples or shop drawings before installation. Where the composition includes rare marbles, glass, semi-precious material or a deliberately aged finish, natural and hand-worked variation should be treated as part of the approved character rather than as a defect.
