The Romans were great observers of life and nature and many of their designs displayed this.
Leaf borders and scroll motifs were used extensively in the art of ancient Greece and Rome. While the laurel is associated with victory, ivy and wine are both associated with Bacchus.
Another motif used was the cantharus, a wine cup with two handles.
These beautiful marble mosaics have been highly polished and have a lovely smooth finish.
They are used for luxurious mosaic table tops, mosaic floors, and swimming pools.
