Description
A Roman Stone Geometric Carpet Mosaic
Circa 2nd Century A.D.
54 x 99 inches (137 x 251 cm).

Provenance:
Private Collection, Belgium, 1970s.

Published:
Hali, The International Magazine of Antique Carpet and Textile Art, Vol. 73, February/March 1994, p.71.

The design of this rectangular mosaic, crafted from blue, green, red, yellow, and white tesserae, dates back to as early as the 5th to 4th Century B.C. Its presence in a private residence symbolized luxury and comfortable living. The mosaic features a variety of ornamental patterns tailored to personal tastes and home layouts. Notably, the border of this exquisite piece showcases a three-strand guilloche, where interlaced strands create a three-dimensional effect with intertwining colors.
Condition
Intact as preserved. Some tesserae broken or missing from antiquity. Scattered insignificant scuffs from handling or antiquity. Metal frame surrounding the edges. Very attractive, fine, and stable condition overall.
