The main activity of the company “Ural House Masters” – creating highly artistic stone products in the technique of Florentine mosaic. In particular, boxes, icons, desk sets, clocks, candle holders, sculptures and paintings. According to sources, mosaic artists all over the world work in the technique, known as Florentine mosaic, for more than 400 years.
Thus, in 1580 in Florence, the Medici family founded the first workshop of mosaic artists who created the best examples of mosaic works. That caused imitation throughout Europe and in Russia. Finally, the Florentine mosaic technique was formed in the XVII century. The artists used natural stone patterns: layers, veins, dendritic (tree-like patterns), stains and strokes. This mosaic is called “shadow”. For Florentine mosaics, usually used hard stones: jasper, lapis lazuli, flint, porphyry and others. Well, today, Florentine mosaic has gone far ahead, and Russian mosaic artists from Ural House Masters achieved tremendous success in this work, unique and exclusive.

The uniqueness of the paintings executed in the technique of Florentine mosaic is their exclusivity.
