Description
Stone of the Sahara is a two-piece wall relief that brings a pale sand-coloured surface to your interior. The panels are dominated by large radiating sun-disc motifs set among dense carved glyph work, giving the piece a carved, hewn-from-stone quality across its whole face. Assembled, the two panels measure 300cm wide by 270cm high and cover 8.10 sq m, a generous span that reads as a single continuous surface once mounted. Both pieces are made from hand-made textured fibreglass, which carries the depth of the sun discs and the fine glyph detail without the mass of true stone.
This relief suits larger open rooms where there is space to take in the full width, such as a living room, a lounge with a double-height wall, or a dining area that needs a strong focal surface. It appeals to anyone drawn to ancient and desert-inspired design, or to those who want a sculptural piece rather than a framed print. The pale sand tone sits comfortably against warm neutrals, terracotta and natural timber, and works equally well in a pared-back scheme where the carved detail does the talking.
Because it is cast in fibreglass rather than stone, the full assembled weight is a manageable 70 kg split across two panels, which makes handling and fixing far easier than the finished look suggests. Each panel fixes to the wall with appropriate wall plugs and screws suited to your wall type, and the two sections align to form the complete relief. To clean, dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe occasionally with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals. For styling, we like it lit from one side with a directional lamp or wall wash, which throws the sun discs and glyphs into relief and deepens the carved shadows.

Frequently Asked
What is this wall relief made from?
It is made from hand-made textured fibreglass. This holds the depth of the sun-disc motifs and the fine glyph detail while keeping the overall weight much lower than natural stone.
How do the two pieces go together?
The relief arrives as two panels that align side by side to form the complete 300cm wide by 270cm high surface. Once mounted next to each other they read as one continuous carved face.
How is it fixed to the wall?
Each panel mounts using wall plugs and screws chosen to suit your wall type. We suggest checking the fixings match your surface, whether that is plasterboard, brick or masonry, before you begin.
How do I clean it?
Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth to keep the carved detail clear. For a deeper clean, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scourers.
How much wall space do I need?
The assembled relief measures 300cm wide by 270cm high and covers 8.10 sq m, so you need a wall that comfortably takes those dimensions with room to view it from a distance.
