This salvaged marble chequerboard mosaic combines a two-tone chequerboard field with re-salvaged rare marble fragments. Simple and eye catching, the design shows ancient marble fragments floating over a textured chequerboard 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. Of particular interest is the irregular nature of the small tesserae, they contra-flow with the randomly placed fragments, allowing the eye to rest and refocus. 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.

Salvaged Marble Chequerboard Mosaic and Fragmenti

The contrast between ordered chequerboard and irregular rare-stone fragmenti gives this field its particular character. Field Mosaic – 5464B explores the same idea as a companion design, while Verde Marble Fragment Mosaic shifts attention towards a concentrated coloured-marble fragment field. The Marble & Onyx Collection is useful when coordinating larger slabs or rare stones with a custom mosaic composition.

Balancing Fragments, Field and Perimeter Cuts

For a salvaged marble chequerboard mosaic, the fragments should appear dispersed rather than mechanically spaced, so installation planning needs to preserve that balance across panel joints and room edges. Review several sheets or a representative panel together and identify prominent fragments that should be kept away from awkward perimeter cuts. The chequerboard beneath provides visual order and can be coordinated with a border or threshold. Recorded applications include art installations, bathrooms, columns, fireplace surrounds, flooring, furniture, kitchens, leisure and residential interiors, restaurants, swimming pools, tabletops and walling, with warm-climate exterior use also listed. Confirm substrate, sealing, slip performance and exposure requirements for the final project.
