Interlocking 15mm antique cut mosaic
Sheet size: 305x305mm

Inspired by ancient mosaic floors stretching back to Roman mosaics as seen at Pompeii, the beautiful, detailed natural Antique Edge captures this timeless quality of hand cut stone with clear horizontal line reflecting stone strata.

Viola Oro is a striking and luxurious natural marble quarried in Italy, admired for its bold colour contrast and distinctive veining. As its name suggests — “Viola” meaning violet and “Oro” meaning gold — this marble features a creamy white to warm ivory base, dramatically intersected by rich deep violet, burgundy, or aubergine-toned veins, often accented with touches of gold, ochre, or amber mineralisation.

This visually expressive stone is often chosen for high-impact design applications where natural beauty and statement aesthetics are desired. Due to its rare colour composition and dramatic patterning, Viola Oro is especially popular in boutique residential projects, luxury retail spaces, and artistic installations.

Geologically, Viola Oro is a calcium carbonate-based marble, making it moderately durable but still sensitive to acids, oils, and abrasive cleaners. Like most marbles, it should be sealed and maintained regularly to protect its vivid colouring and polish. It is suitable for interior applications such as feature walls, splashbacks, vanities, decorative accents, and low-traffic floors.

Unique natural characteristics may include colour banding, crystal inclusions, and taroli (small pits or natural indentations), which are all a testament to the stone’s authenticity and geological origin.

Please note that natural stone will vary from batch to batch and show variation in colour, shade and veining. In the case of stone mosaics, random edge chipping, variation in spacing and thickness may occur due to the delicate and intricate detail of the designs. The scale of these irregularities is so small that after the mosaics are installed, the beauty of the mosaic is revealed and irregularities diminished.
