This white mother pearl brick uses natural nacre cut into a refined 3 x 4.8 cm format, combining a familiar brick proportion with the changing translucency of shell. Individual pieces move through soft ivory, mist grey, pale silver, cream and faint champagne, with characteristic growth lines visible across the polished face. The source notes that Mother of Pearl is approximately 95 percent calcium carbonate and that the surface is protected with a thin polyurethane top coat. Those material characteristics make correct cleaning important, particularly because acidic substances can damage calcium-carbonate based shell.

White Mother Pearl Brick | Material and Pattern

The brick format gives the surface a stronger directional rhythm than a square mosaic while still allowing each piece to show its own nacre structure. Some bricks read cooler and more silvery, others warmer and creamier. This natural variation is integral to the product and should be judged across several pieces rather than against a single colour sample.

The Shells & Mother of Pearl collection places this product within De Ferranti's wider group of shell mosaics, inlays, trims and relief surfaces.

Specification, Samples and Layout

Use a representative sample to select grout and to compare the white mother pearl brick with adjoining marble, timber or metal. Confirm orientation, joint width, edges and maintenance before installation. Acidic cleaners, vinegar, lemon juice and similar substances should be avoided, and the finish should be treated in accordance with project-specific care guidance.
