Gold Crest Mosaic Splashback

This gold crest mosaic splashback sets a scrolling medallion crest in gold and cream tesserae against a field of vibrant turquoise, filling the wall behind the hob and worktop with a single symmetrical centrepiece.

Gold Crest Mosaic Splashback Pattern & Design Composition

Layout: the design is built on a central medallion, with scrolling acanthus-style flourishes unfurling left and right in a mirrored arrangement that fills the full width of the splashback.

Palette: the turquoise ground is laid in small hand cut tesserae that shift in tone across the surface, giving the field a rippled, hand-laid texture rather than a flat block of colour. The gold linework sits on top in a brighter, warmer gold, with touches of cream picking out the finer scrollwork.

• A central crest motif anchored at the midpoint of the panel
• Curling vine and scroll details branching outward in gold
• A dense turquoise background of small, closely set pieces

Handcrafted Mosaic Excellence

Technique: every tessera is hand cut, which is why the scrollwork has the slightly irregular, drawn-by-hand edge that machine-cut tile cannot produce. The gold pieces are set in continuous curved lines rather than straight runs, following the sweep of each flourish.

Finish: the surface reads as glass or glazed ceramic tesserae, with enough variation in the turquoise tiles to catch the light differently across the panel instead of sitting flat and uniform.

Inspired by Ornamental Crestwork

The motif draws on traditional crest and scrollwork ornament, the kind of symmetrical gold emblem found on old textiles, plasterwork and panelling, reworked here in mosaic for a kitchen wall.

Best Applications for Gold Crest Mosaic Splashback

Designed to sit as a mosaic kitchen splashback behind a hob or sink run, where the plain worktop and cabinetry either side give the medallion room to read as a single statement. It suits a kitchen where the surrounding units are a solid colour, letting the gold and turquoise carry the detail. For a size or colourway adjusted to your own wall, request a custom mosaic design.
