Theodore Ellison Designs is a nationally-renowned boutique firm specializing in crafting exquisite, custom mosaic and leaded glass. With an acute sensitivity to surrounding materials, textures and lighting conditions, we collaborate closely with clients to ensure that each piece harmoniously enhances the mood, era and aesthetic of its setting. We can create original designs for you to choose from, or will expertly help bring your own ideas to fruition. Glass mosaic can be installed just about anywhere one would use tile.

Glass mosaic can be installed just about anywhere one would use tile. Interior or exterior, in kitchens, bathrooms, or fireplace facades, the use of glass mosaic allows for more customization options than with off-the-shelf tile. Iridescent favrile finishes, gold and copper lusters, foil backing, and other surface techniques add depth and shimmer to the finished work. Our mosaic is created in the artisan's studio, then mounted directly onto a backer board and carefully shipped to the site for installation.

Theodore Ellison has designed a series of hand-knotted, heirloom quality Tibetan Himalayan wool and silk carpets in collaboration with Tiger Rug Co. Each exquisite carpet is ethically hand-crafted in Nepal, and can complement a range of dcor. Browse some of our signature designs below, and scroll to the bottom to see available dimensions. Custom rug designs and sizes are also available.

Theodore Ellison Designs will work with you to turn your entryway into a stunning showpiece. We pair our leaded glass design and handcraft expertise with the woodworking virtuosity of The Craftsman Door Company of Martinez, CA to produce doors of exceptional beauty and quality. Explore Craftsman's wooden door designs and our signature glass motifs and background glass options below. We will work closely with you to realize your personal aesthetic statement from the hundreds of customizable combinations.
