A one-of-a-kind mosaic masterpiece hand painted in Tuscany.
Named for the individual tiles used to create intricate mosaic artwork, Tessera is a one-of-a-kind take on our beloved, bygone Toscani style. Hand painted in the town of Santa Croce sull’Arno, Tessera’s mosaic-styled leather embodies Tuscany’s centuries-old artistic tradition, drawing inspiration from Florentine frescoes and Renaissance-era mosaics. The leather is hand stained by two artisans working together, then embossed with a mosaic texture and coated with a lacquer. Once dried, the leather is hand painted again, piece by piece, and finished with a second layer of gloss to ensure lasting color and shine. This work of art will be the masterpiece of your collection.
