Micro-inlay mosaic, Coloseum, Rome, ca. 19th century, a type collected when the “Grand Tours” were popular. Comparables in the Savelli Family Collection, Rome.
This company specializes in the manufacture and sale of mosaics, an art form as old as the Roman Empire itself. Many of the objects in the company’s gallery were inspired by ancient originals discovered in thousands of excavations throughout the Italian peninsula, including those at Pompeii and Ostia. Others, especially the floral designs, rely on the whim and creativity of the artists. Objects include tabletops, boxes, and vases. The cheapest mosaic objects begin at around $130 and are unsigned products crafted by students at a school for artists that is partially funded by the Vatican. Objects made in the Savelli workshops that are signed by the individual artists tend to be larger and more elaborate. The outlet also contains a collection of small souvenirs, like key chains and carved statues.
