Smalti Tear Inlay PanelGold Smalti, Lapis Trim, Sage Stone & Red Field. A richly coloured composition combining gold smalti tears with lapis accents, set into a warm red stone field and framed by sage-toned material. Jewel-like elements are balanced by an earthy substrate, creating a surface that feels both decorative and grounded.

 

Smalti Tear Inlay Panel is produced using decorative inlay techniques, where shaped pieces of smalti glass and stone are precisely set into a prepared substrate and finished flush to create a unified surface. The gold smalti elements provide depth and light-catching brilliance, while lapis trim introduces contrast and rhythm within the layout.

The surrounding red and sage stones anchor the composition, allowing the more reflective materials to stand out without overwhelming the overall balance. The interplay between matte stone and lustrous smalti creates a surface that shifts subtly with changing light.

Rooted in traditional inlay practices yet interpreted in a more contemporary decorative language, this panel is suitable for floors, wall features, tabletops and bespoke installations. Material combinations, scale and layout can be adapted to suit individual project requirements.
