The Centaur Mosaic is one of our wide collection of Mythological Mosaics. This mosaic illustrates a Centaur pulling back his bow.

Centaur

A centaur, or occasionally hippocentaur, is a mythological creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. The centaurs were usually said to have been born of Ixion and Nephele. Centaurs were said to have inhabited the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, the Foloi oak forest in Elis, and the Malean peninsula in southern Laconia. Centaurs subsequently featured in Roman mythology, and were familiar figures in the medieval bestiary. They remain a staple of modern fantastic literature.

ABOUT OUR MOSAICS

INSTALLATION

Installing mosaics is similar to installing ceramic tiles. Large mosaics usually consist of different fragments assembled and grouted on-site.

If you order any of our mosaics from our standard range, they come pre-grouted and equipped with hooks for hanging. They can also be installed on the floor, as they are backed with high-resistance material.

For specific installation needs, we can adjust the mosaic’s weight for wall mounting or enhance its grip for floor installation. Usual thickness for our mosaics is 0.8" to 1" (imperial system) or 2cm - 2.5cm (metric system). However, if a final thickness is required we must be informed by you, and we will adjust to make sure meet your requirement.

OUTDOORS & INDOORS

Marble mosaics can be installed both outdoors and indoors. Outdoors, they are commonly used near fountains, in public squares, resting areas, and on terraces. Indoors, you’ll often find them in swimming pools, spas, bathrooms, entrances, and living rooms.

CUSTOM MOSAICS

We create large custom mosaics for private and public projects such as floors, pools, and murals. Our extensive experience allows us to meet tight deadlines. Depending on availability, we can install the mosaics or assist with the installation.

From expansive floors to small murals, we can meet any design, material, and technical requirement for our mosaics. The only limits are your imagination and budget.
