Tiny Tiles, Grand Stories: The Allure of Micromosaics
Invaluable
JULY 28, 2025
Classical mosaics tended to be made up of natural stones, ceramics and glass, whereas micromosaics were created with tiny tesserae, formed by heating coloured glass, pulling it into long threads, then snipping the threaded enamel into tiles less than 1mm in size. Micromosaic pendant locket. Sold for £3,500 GBP via Bonhams (April 2023).
