Vintage Mosaic Artwork of a Saint or Angel in Gold and Blue Robes

This striking vintage mosaic artwork depicts a saint or angel in classical style, crafted from hundreds of hand-cut tesserae in shimmering gold, deep blues, forest green, and soft earth tones. Likely inspired by Byzantine or early Christian iconography, the figure’s robe and halo are rendered in rich detail, with luminous gold tiles creating a dramatic and eye-catching effect.

Set against a serene sky-blue background, the composition has a powerful stillness that makes it ideal for a quiet reading corner, hallway, or contemplative space. While the identity of the figure remains open to interpretation, the soft expression, robe detail, and upturned gaze lend it a spiritual or sacred quality. The hair is built from chocolate and russet tones, framing the pale, stylised face in a way that recalls traditional religious art and mosaic frescoes found in European churches.

Measuring 51 cm high by 40.5 cm wide, the piece is mounted on a slim board with a silver edge. It can be leaned against a wall on a shelf or mantelpiece, or easily mounted in a shadow box or deep frame if desired. It pairs beautifully with natural textures, plaster walls, ceramics, or muted linen upholstery, bringing a timeless and soulful character into the home.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece sourced in the UK, and as with all vintage items, minor signs of age and wear add to its authenticity and charm. A beautiful choice for collectors of religious art, mosaic technique, or simply those who value unique, expressive interiors.
