NR is pleased to present the Gracie collection in collaboration with Gracie, makers of handpainted wallpaper since 1898. For this collection, five Gracie designs were selected for interpretation into glass mosaic. The designs were chosen to represent historic themes, from Roman and Chinese antiquity to the late BLYTHEDUNES BLYTHEDUNES FRENCH DECO Japanese Edo period, and French Art Deco. Gracie’s intricate designs were transformed into mosaic by New Ravenna’s master mosaicists through varied techniques, colors, and textures. First, scaling a dynamic section of each design to new dimensions, the designs were replicated in both the original colors of the handpainted wallpaper and a New Ravenna customized palette. Central motifs were created in reflective FRENCH DECO LINDA’S GARDEN jewel glass allowing the natural hand mixed variation of the glass sheets to replicate the feel of a handpainted surface. Tumbled Sea Glass™ was used as background material to allow the characters in each design to remain dominant, and Gracie’s metallic leaf pigments were honored by using honed antique mirror and 24 karat gold glass. New Ravenna mosaicists used two techniques: hand nipping glass into similar LINDA’S GARDEN WAVE AND BLOSSOM WAVE AND BLOSSOM size shapes in the traditional mosaic method and scoring the glass to create larger organic shapes – a method which is traditional of stained glass. Depending on the intricacy of the design, a panel of any size will take several weeks and multiple artisans to complete. Mosaics in the Gracie collection can be customized in size, color, and scale to suit the designer’s preferences.
