Mosaic Bistro Sets

The mosaic is the bistro set at its most charming. The decorative combination of the bistro chair's elegant design with the colorful arrangement of stained glass or colored tile on the bistro tabletop permits the most imaginative and eclectic decor combinations. A mosaic bistro set will add grace and beauty to any dining room, patio, or place of business.

Pieces of History
A stained glass mosaic tabletop adds even greater depth to the historic appeal of bistro sets. Bistro sets have been in use since the 19th century, but the use of colored glass goes back thousands of years to the earliest human civilizations. One of the earliest known examples of manmade glass dates from 2750 B.C., when Egyptian artisans made strings of glass beads. The use of stained glass to create colored windows dates at least as far back as the 7th century A.D.. Throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, stained glass would become synonymous with cathedrals, beauty and transcendence.

Mosaic Styles
Mosaic bistro sets are available in a wide range of colors and designs. Many mosaic designs are abstract or geometric, but some feature natural images such as leaves or flowers.

In addition to stained glass, mosaics of ceramic and terracotta tiles are also available. These mosaics are often highly colorful, and feature eye-catching circular or dappled patterns. Bright blues and greens create a cheerful and pleasant effect, or try silvers and grays for your relaxing moments.

A mosaic bistro set is a wonderful decorative or accent item, so position your bistro set in a place where it will get noticed. Mosaic bistro sets are particularly appealing as patio furniture, where the play of the sun across the mosaic tabletop will make the colors of the stained glass or tiles stand out to great effect. A mosaic bistro set is also an excellent choice to furnish a dining room in a small home or apartment.
