Cosmatesque flooring
Cosmatesque flooring is a decorative Mosaic style originating from medieval Italy, characterized by intricate geometric patterns created with small, precisely cut stones and glass inlays. Typically featuring vibrant colors such as red, green, gold, and white, these floors often incorporate repetitive designs like squares, circles, and crosses. The stones are set into a fine mortar base, resulting in a smooth, durable surface. Historically used in churches and important buildings, Cosmatesque flooring exemplifies craftsmanship and artistry, showcasing a meticulous, detailed design that adds a sense of refinement and historical significance to the space.
