An ancient craft reimagined, carved stone bas relief enriched with inlaid mosaic , where the raised serpent form emerges from the stone and is animated by fragments of coloured tesserae , creating a sculptural surface that feels both historic and vividly alive.

Serpent Mosaic Bas Relief Panel combines traditional stone carving with intricate mosaic inlay. The background stone is hand carved to create depth and contour, allowing the serpent to rise in bas relief from its field, echoing techniques used since Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian times.

Within the carved form, small triangular tesserae in varied tones are carefully inlaid, adding colour, texture and movement to the sculptural surface. The interplay between smooth stone and faceted mosaic brings light into the composition, enhancing the illusion of motion.

Offered by special commission, De Ferranti’s carved bas relief panels can be executed in stone or ceramic, with mosaic inlay incorporated into selected elements. From historically inspired narratives to entirely contemporary compositions, each piece is tailored to its architectural context and scale.
