Made-to-Order (see estimated Lead Time near the top of this page)
This Mosaic Fleur de Lis (Elegance Style) Marble Tile Medallion is a complete medallion including a mosaic Fleur de Lis Insert with surrounding tile and pencil tile border / frame. The Fleur de Lis itself is meticulously made from 700+ individually cut and placed marble tesserae. Within this marble mosaic, there have also been placed hand cut smalti glass accents which randomly reflect light back towards the viewer. The Fleur de Lis also includes a glass accent band - in the pictured medallion this was made from a beautiful glass plate that has been cut into these tesserae pieces. The surrounding tile is 3" x 12" polished Sahara Carrara Marble tile - cut to size and laid in a brick pattern, with matching Sahara Carrara Marble Pencil tile for a simple, but elegant frame around the backsplash. The Backsplash Surround is attached to fiberglass mesh for ease of handling and installation.
The Fleur de Lis Tile Insert may be left unattached to the fiberglass mesh in the larger medallions, for easier handling and installation.

The Fleur de Lis in a 16" x 16" medallion measures between 14" and 15" tall and is made from approximately 700+ individual hand placed pieces. The Fleur de Lis in an 18" x 18" medallion measures between 16" and 17" tall and is made from approximately 800+ individual hand placed pieces. The 20" x 20" medallion (as well as any other size medallion with a height of 20" or more) has a Fleur de Lis that measures between 18" and 19" tall and is made from approximately 1000 individual and hand placed pieces.
Numerous customizations are available. Any of the colors, tiles, or glass used may be changed, including other types / colors of marble, other backgrounds including larger cuts of tile (fewer grout lines) or even non marble tiles, other styles of border tile or no border at all. Medallions may be made to sizes other than those listed. These customizations may or may not increase the cost for your Fleur de Lis. Contact me to discuss customizations for your Fleur de Lis.
Important: I do not recommend this style mosaic fleur de lis for installation behind a often used cooktop or where water may regularly splash on it. The hand made fleur de lis on this particular medallion is highly textured, with numerous small crevices where splashed food may be very difficult to clean / remove without damaging this piece of art. One remedy could be to have your contractor install clear tempered glass with standoffs in front of the medallion.
Note Regarding Grouting: While grout should be applied to the border, background, and around the Fleur de Lis, no grout should be applied to the front facing surface of the Fleur de Lis itself. Put another way, grout should be carefully applied around, including touching the outside edge of the Fleur de Lis; however, no grout should be applied between the 700+ pieces that make up the Fleur de Lis itself.

Questions & Answers
Q: I am considering buying this in the 32" size - but I want the part around the fleur de lis to be made from the exact same Calacatta Gold marble tile that will be installed in my new kitchen. Can I send you the tile I want used for this? Also, do you offer this in other non-square sizes (maybe 32" wide but only 28" tall)? Thank you. A: Hello - Yes, I am able to use customer provided tile to make a medallion. I am also able to make your medallion to any size you require. Let me know the size you would like and I will get you a quote and add that size as an option to purchase. Thanks for your inquiry.
Q: Can you use purple and gold glass only as the accent? A: Yes - a glass accent made from a combination of purple and gold-colored glass is certainly an option. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss this further. Thank you, Tracy
Q: We would like to look into this backsplash in a 30wx18h. Also, we would like to do one in white and grey with bits of black. Have you done any with similar colors? If so, could you send me a picture of it. Thanks! A: Hi Gary, I can certainly make this in a 30" wide x 18" tall. With regard to color, I can make it in the color of your choice. While I have not made a mosaic stone fleur de lis using white and gray stone, I did make a Houston Astros World Series art piece using a marble tile that was mostly white with some gray veining. Click here to see that piece. If you would like to see more pictures of it if it, let me know. While there are no "bits of black" in that piece, I could include some black glass chips / pieces as accents within the Fleur de Lis and / or, the glass accent band could be made in black. I have added 30" x 18" as an option for purchase. Please do not hesitate to call me if you would like to discuss this further. Thank you, Tracy
