Royal Grand Palace, Bangkok

This part of the Wat Phra Kaew - or Emerald Buddha complex - once served as the former residence of the King of Siam and once consisted of 11 buildings; however, today only three of the original ones remain. The central building, or Chakri Maha Prasat, was built by then King of Siam, Rama V between 1876 to 1882 using British architects John Clunich and Henry C. Rose. The style of the building is a fusion of Italian Renaissance and traditional Thai architecture.

Salviati decorated the arched ceilings - originally planned as domes, but later substituted by Thai spires - of the central throne hall with 17,000 square feet of golden mosaics with depictions including various Siamese orders.

Various sources also attribute mosaic work both on the outside of the spires, as well as on the building's gables to Salviati.

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.

Church of the Intercession of Our Lady of Oreanda

Built in 1885 after plans by Alexey Andreyevich Avdeyev, this Georgian-Byzantine church was at one time attended by Anton Chekov.

The original Salviati mosaics were commissioned by H.I.H. The Grand Duke Constantin Romanov and covered 4,000 square feet. They were based on cartoons by Prof. Wassilieff, but unfortunately many of them - including an image of the Protection of the Virgin and nine icons - have not survived.

A very unique mosaic depiction of a teenage Christ can still be found in the dome, surrounded by eight angels, eight Apostles and four Evangelists.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Yalta

Not to be confused with numerous churches of the same name, this one is located in the Crimean city of Yalta in the Ukraine and was constructed 1891-1902 in honor of the late Tsar Alexander II.

The mosaic image of the cathedral's namesake saint on the south-eastern side of the building was manufactured by Salviati.

Administered by the Russian Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, this church was designed by David Grimm and built in 1886-88 by Czar Alexander III in memory of his mother, Empress Maria Alexandrovna.

Salviati made the medallion of St. Mary Magdalene that is located above the entrance.
