St. John the Evangelist, Leeds

The oldest church in the city of Leeds, St. John's was built in 1632-34.  It was altered in 1830-38 and was slated for demolition a few years later when it was saved by a campaign supported by Richard Norman Shaw and G.G. Scott.

Shaw continued to restore the church 1866-68, and this work was continued in 1890 by Temple Moore.

Shaw commissioned Salviati to create the gold mosaics in a setting designed by Moore. The angel corbels were reused from the old organ that was rebuilt in 1885. The carved central panel was bought separately and incorporated into the piece.

St. John's has been redundant since 1975 and it has been in the care of the Church's Trust since 1977.

Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara

Built 1878-90 by Major Charles Mant and Robert Fellowes Chisolm (who took over for Mant in 1881 after his death) for H.H. Maharaja Gaikwar, parts of this building remain the residence of the ruling family of India's Baroda State. It is also open as a tourist attraction to the public.

The grand Darbar Hall (measuring 92 feet long by 54 feet wide by 48 feet high, on the left of the above picture) - used for concerts or other cultural events - contains a total of 8,000 square feet of Salviati mosaics on wall decorations, as well as the marble flooring, which took twelve men eighteen months to set.

The window arches are decorated with golden floral motifs. A local Indian draftsman named Mr. Hasjee may have been responsible for the designs, which were interpreted by the Venetian mosaicists.

Several life-sized, mosaic figures of women adorn the palace's entrance on the exterior of Darbar Hall.

 

An outdoor mosaic (approximately 15 feet high and 12 feet wide) features a bridal scene with Christian overtones, including an angel.

St. Chad's Church, Kirkby

Built 1869-71 by the design team of Paley and Austin, this church replaced a mid-18th century Georgian chapel.

Henry Holiday's 1898 opus sectile reredos of The Last Supper was executed by Salviati. It is surrounded by Pre-Raphaelite angels and virtues, and it is very similar to one Holiday designed a decade earlier for St. Stephen's Church in Philadelphia.

It is also reminiscent of the design by Clayton and Bell, which can be found in numerous places, including the reredos in Westminster Abbey. An original painting of The Last Supper by Albert Bell sold at auction in 2011 for over $20,000.

St. Stephen's Church, Hampstead

S.S. Teulon's 1871 church became redundant in 1977 and the interior was severely vandalized over the next twenty years.
 

In 1998, the church was joined with the school next door and since then, the building has been restored and is now used to hold events such as weddings or birthday celebrations.

Salviati mosaic roundels of various Passion symbols can still be found in the former chancel, while most in the nave seem to have been lost. 

A few roundels featuring angels that surround a rose window above the entrance to the side chapel are intact.

St. Luke's Church Battersea

Architect Frederick William Hunt designed this church, which was built 1882-93.

The choir contains a Salviati mosaic of the winged bull of St. Luke above the north door to the vestry. It was added in 1891 and modeled after the circular window in St. Mary's Battersea.

Hawkley Parish Church

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Hants was designed by S.S. Teulon in a Norman style and built in 1861-65.

Although Antonio Salviati documents his work as being "reredos" within the church, the side chapel altar seems to be the only place decorated with mosaics.
 

The chapel's altar has three lunettes featuring white birds on a black background.
