Yes! The ancient Egyptians used mosaics to adorn thrones as well as walls. They were also one of the first to inlay pieces of glass in their mosaics. They may even have been the originators of mosaics since they are the oldest civilization but it is commonly believed that mosaics originated in Mesopotamia.The Cone-Mosaic Temple or Uruk is one of the oldest forms of mosaics we know of and dates back to 3000 B.C. Another artifact from Mesopotamia is the Sumerian Harp of Ur which uses inlaid stone and shells. Another is the Royal Standard of Ur dating back to around 2600 B.C.
