Roman Urn and Scroll Mosaic Border

This Roman Urn and Scroll Mosaic Border is a classical mosaic border designed as a continuous frieze, wrapping a room at cornice height the way Roman villa interiors once framed their walls. Urns sit at even intervals, tied together by winding acanthus scrolls that keep the eye moving along the band.

The composition reads as a single repeating unit: an urn, a pair of curling tendrils, a slim garland, then the next urn. Nothing crowds the strip. The rhythm is steady and legible from across a room, which is what a border at this height needs to do.

Each piece is built from hand cut tesserae in stone and glass, set tight enough that the pattern holds its line even at a distance. Up close the individual pieces show slight variation in tone, which is what gives the surface its handmade texture rather than a printed look.

Color stays within a muted classical range: aged terracotta and rust for the urns, sage and olive green for the foliage, and a dusty gray-blue ground that lets the warmer tones sit forward. The effect is closer to an excavated fresco than a modern tile pattern.

Perfect For:

Villa-style entry halls
Formal dining rooms
Marble-paneled corridors
Grand staircase walls
Classical themed lobbies
Period restoration interiors

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nada and the team at MEC did a fantastic job with our kitchen backsplash! We loved the Erassa design on their website and they were very accommodating with updating it to reflect our own preferences. After making a number of tweaks and approving the final design, we received the completed mosaic earlier than expected and packaged very well. The installation went smoothly and we love looking at it every time we enter our kitchen!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zeeha and the entire Mec Artworks team were excellent to work with!  I can't recommend them enough.  We talked to lots of different companies when designing the custom mosaic for our pool, and Zeeha and her team were prompt, professional, and group we felt most comfortable proceeding with.  We couldn't be happier with the quality of their end-product!  The mosaic turned out beautiful, the communication through the process was reliable, and the installed mosaic is the centerpiece of the pool we were hoping for.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found MEC online searching for a mosaic Persian rug for my bathroom. I found the Este Custom Marble Persian Mosaic Rug and loved it the way it was but the sizing needed to be tweaked a little. Nada got back to me right away and was extremely helpful with making the necessary adjustments to maintain the integrity of the rug to fit the space. Nada sent samples, videos and a thoughtful presentation of of the piece with mock ups of how it would look in the space. We were so thrilled with how the rug turned out. I am still waiting for the full install but could not be more pleased with the whole process, communications and quality of MEC's work. I would highly recommend MEC to anyone who is thinking about a mosaic piece. Nada, Zeeha and team were a true pleasure to work with. (Pictures to come!)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been a wonderful and fun experience to work with MEC on the design and execution of our kitchen mosaic. Nada was prompt and thorough with her replies, always giving us in-depth understanding and explanation when needed. We felt reassured throughout the whole process. Nada made sure that the end mosaic met our complete expectations. We were looking for more than a backsplash, and the mosaic created by MEC is truly a piece of art. This was an investment that not only pulled the room together, but also highlights a stunning piece of creativity. Very reasonably priced for the quality, beauty, and piece of art made with unique composition and creativity. Would do this again and again with MEC!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have now completed two projects with MEC. The results on both a large bath and full kitchen were outstanding. The design team was a pleasure to work with, they completed and delivered ahead of schedule, and the quality of the murals truly added a unique and high-quality to the rooms. I will look forward to working with them again.
