Would you like a mosaic tile backsplash in your kitchen reminiscent of the Greco-Roman or Ottoman Empires without breaking the bank? Not only will you love your mosaic backsplash, all who see it will want to know where you got it. Read on to discover two Lebanese sources - yes, present-day Lebanon was part of these ancient empires - that hand-craft each of their mosaic backsplashes using traditional methods.
Mosaic is an art form that is 4,000 or more years old. Mosaic artwork uses small pieces - stone, marble, mineral, glass, tile, or shell - sometimes called "tesserae," glued closely together to create a colorful design or scene. The smaller these tesserae are, the closer mosaic art can imitate paintings.
Two Lebanese sources provide you with just the mosaic tile backsplash of your dreams. Find plenty of ideas for mosaic tile designs at both of these suppliers. Although they both offer kitchen backsplashes , each has a product line much broader than kitchen mosaics. You will find other mosaic tile art including: - mosaic tile backsplash
- medallions
- borders
- animals
- religious themes
- mirrors
- geometric designs
- flowers and plants
- figures
- rugs
- and more

Mosaic Marble, the other company, began operations back in 1968. They create their mosaic tile art in Lebanon. Along with their standard items, Mosaic Marble can create mosaic artwork from any design, painting, portrait, landscape or picture that you send them.

Another wrote, "I received the mosaic pieces and they are indeed very beautiful...I am always looking for great decorating products that I find to be of great value and quality." Mosaic Marble prices their mosaic tile backsplash pieces from $20 (4" x 4") to $600 plus shipping.
Imagine standing in front of your beautiful piece of art - your mosaic art - while you create wonderful fragrances from your stove for your home. Before you can count each of the tesserae in your backsplash artwork, your tasteful food creation will be done. Both will be beautiful.
