Ancient
or Contemporary
One of the most versatile art forms, Mosaic was developed nearly 7,000
years ago in the emerging civilizations of the Middle East. Using
stone, glass, tile, pebbles and shells, ancient artists used mosaics to
decorate anything to which cement would adhere.
Theatres, baths, public spaces, palaces and private homes were all used to
show art that has endured thousands of years.
Mosaic is still a popular decorative art with a myriad of uses.
Indoors and out: wall hangings, kitchens and bathrooms, showers, sink
backsplashes, decks, tabletops, entries, atriums, pools, gardens, water
features and of course, floors in any room of the house.
