Pompeii Floor Mosaic

Private Residence, Cincinnati, Ohio

"Beware Of Dog" - Brazee recreated the famous mosaic, “Cave Canem”, originally discovered in the “House of the Tragic Poet” in Pompeii, dating back to ancient Roman times. Driven by their love for Pompeii and its ancient art, our clients commissioned this custom glass tile mosaic to fill the front entrance of their home. In ancient Rome, the “Cave Canem” mosaic was placed at entrances to warn visitors. We worked closely with the couple to color-match our glass tile to the original mosaics of Pompeii, then fired, cut, and hand assembled over 20,000 small glass tiles.
