This Roman polychrome stone mosaic depicts umbrellas of Roman origin. 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 decor looks three dimensional, rising above the beautifully handcrafted background mosaic field. Of particular interest is the construction of the small tesserae, their randomness accentuates its charm. 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.

Roman Polychrome Stone Mosaic and Relief

Faustina relies on the contrast between a repeating motif and a deliberately lively field of small tesserae. That irregular background helps the umbrellas appear to sit above the surface without literal carved relief. Fabia with Greek Key Mosaic provides a more geometric Roman reference, while Female Dancer Pouring Water shows how the same hand-set vocabulary can move into figurative narrative. De Ferranti’s Micro Mosaics collection is relevant where finer pictorial detail is required.

Custom Scale, Colour and Installation

A Roman polychrome stone mosaic should be reviewed at the scale of the proposed installation because the relationship between motif, field and perimeter changes when adapted to a room. De Ferranti can discuss material and colour customisation, allowing the pattern to respond to adjoining stone, borders or furnishings while retaining its structure. Samples are useful for assessing tessera size, surface indentations, colour variation and the three dimensional effect. Recorded applications include bathrooms, flooring, furniture, kitchens, leisure and residential interiors, restaurants, swimming pools, tabletops and walling, with warm-climate exterior use also listed. Confirm fixing systems, sealing, slip requirements and exposure conditions for the final project.
