Historic Italian Sophistication: Palazzo Mancini Marble Mosaics

Evoke the timeless grandeur of Rome's historical residences with the Palazzo Mancini marble mosaics, an exquisite hand-assembled collection from Fired Earth.

Inspired by the intricate artistry found in classical Italian architecture, the Palazzo collection brings a sense of palatial luxury to modern interiors. These 24x24cm mosaic tiles are created by painstakingly placing small natural stone tesserae onto a strengthened cement backing. Each tile is finished with a soft polish, resulting in a gloriously tactile surface that highlights the soft heritage tones of the natural stone. With a 10mm thickness and extreme tonal variation, Palazzo Mancini offers an authentic, artisanal aesthetic that ensures every installation is entirely unique. Whether used as a decorative floor in an elegant entrance or as a feature wall in a luxury master bathroom, these mosaics provide a durable and breathtakingly chic foundation for your home.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Sealing: As this is a natural stone product, it is porous. It must be sealed before and after grouting with a suitable stone sealer to protect against moisture and staining.
  • Adhesive: Use a white rapid-set adhesive specifically designed for natural stone to prevent any staining or "shadowing" of the tesserae.
  • Cleaning: Maintain the soft polished finish with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic cleaners or abrasive pads that could etch the marble or dull the polished surface.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Do Palazzo Mancini tiles require a grout joint?

In dry internal areas, these tiles can be butt jointed to achieve a seamless, traditional mosaic appearance. If they are being installed in wet areas like showers or bathrooms, a 3mm grout joint is necessary to ensure a stable and water-tight finish.

Is it necessary to seal these mosaic tiles?

Yes. Palazzo Mancini is composed of natural stone tesserae. To protect the material from moisture and staining while maintaining the soft polished finish, the tiles must be sealed with a high-quality impregnating sealer before and after installation.

Are these tiles suitable for high-traffic floors?

Yes. These mosaics are designed for both wall and floor use. The stone tesserae are mounted on a strengthened cement backing, providing the durability needed for domestic floors in kitchens and bathrooms.

Is colour variation expected in this range?

Absolutely. This collection features extreme variation. As a natural stone product inspired by historic Italian buildings, the colour and veining will vary significantly from tile to tile, which is part of its authentic charm.
