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 double grey lines depict shadow and movement allowing the geometry to float over the beautifully handcrafted background  mosaic field. Of particular interest is the construction of the small  tesserae , their randomness acentuates 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.

This very decorative mosaic depicting peacock feathers has a link to Greek myths. 
Io was a priestess of Hera and Zeus fell in love with her. When Hera charged him with infidelity he turned Io into a white cow, which Hera claimed as hers and handed over to Argus Panoptes, a giant with one hundred eyes. Zeus sent Hermes to steal Io. Hermes crushed Argus with a boulder after having made him fall asleep by playing the flute. Hera placed Argus' eyes in the tail of a peacock. From Robert Graves - The Greek Myths.
The eyes on the peacock feathers had the power of detecting and chasing evil spirits.
