This rare marble fragment mosaic uses a two-tone chequerboard field with re-salvaged rare marble fragmenti. 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.

Rare Marble Fragment Mosaic and Ordered Contrast

The rare fragments interrupt the smaller chequerboard field so each section is different, rewarding close viewing. Field Mosaic – 5464A is the companion for comparing field and fragment placement, while Reclaimed Italian Porphyry Mosaic offers a material-specific route into reused rare stone. De Ferranti’s Antique Stone Mosaics collection is relevant where age, patina and reclaimed material character are central.

Sampling a Fragment-Based Mosaic Field

A rare marble fragment mosaic should be sampled over enough area to show the frequency and scale of the larger pieces, not only the chequerboard background. lay out panels together before fixing so prominent fragments remain balanced and panel transitions do not become obvious. Border widths and perimeter cuts should be established early because cutting through a salvaged fragment may weaken the composition. Recorded applications include art installations, bathrooms, columns, fireplace surrounds, flooring, furniture, kitchens, leisure and residential interiors, restaurants, swimming pools and walling, with warm-climate exterior use listed. Confirm sealing, substrate preparation, slip requirements and exposure conditions for the final application.
