Description

Italian Heritage Detail: Palazzo Mancini Marble Mosaic Border

Refine your interior design with the timeless elegance of the Palazzo Mancini Border, a hand-assembled marble mosaic trim that evokes the prestige of Rome’s historical residences.

Part of the prestigious Palazzo collection from Fired Earth, this 10x30cm border tile is the perfect complement for framing and elevating floors and walls. Created by painstakingly placing small natural stone tesserae onto a strengthened cement backing, the border is finished with a soft polish that achieves a gloriously tactile surface. With a 10mm thickness and extreme tonal variation, every piece is a unique artisanal work that ensures your installation remains entirely bespoke. Whether used to frame a mosaic "rug" in an entrance hall or as a decorative detail in a luxury bathroom, this border provides a chic and durable finish inspired by the great Italian architectural tradition.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • 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.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Palazzo Mancini Border require a grout joint?

In dry internal areas, these border 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 border tiles?

Yes. Palazzo Mancini Border 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.

Can this border be used on a floor?

Yes. These borders are designed for both wall and floor applications. The stone tesserae are mounted on a strengthened cement backing, providing the necessary durability for domestic floors in kitchens and hallways.

Is colour variation expected?

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