All Saints' Church, Hurworth-on-Tees

Architect J.P. Pritchett restored this 14th century church in 1870 by enlarging the chancel.

The newly installed reredos of Caen stone and Irish marble was embellished with Venetian mosaics by Salviati & Co. after designs by Pritchett. It consists of four large arcades containing two smaller ones each. The four central panels depict the Holy Trinity, Lamb of God, Pelican in her Piety, and Dove of Peace. The mosaics on either side show the usual symbols for the four Evangelists.

Charterhouse School Chapel, Godalming

The original school was founded in 1611 in London by Thomas Sutton, but a Royal Commission decided to transfer it to the countryside in 1864. The first few buildings in Godalming including the chapel were designed by Philip Charles Hardwick after the boarding school moved there in 1872. Construction was carried out by Lucas Brothers.

The chapel and memorial cloister around 1900 (below). The building was not as Hardwick had originally designed it since the school's governing body decided to make it smaller, which ended up being the reason it was replaced some sixty-four years later.

The Caen marble reredos was installed in 1874 in the east end of the chapel. Salviati enamel mosaics alternated in panels with geometric shaped marble mosaics. The upper section contained a large central mosaic of the Last Supper - a gift of Carthusian G.T. Clarke, Esq. - that was the exact length of the altar. Two Evangelists on gold backgrounds flanked each side. The lower portion contained each of the Evangelists' corresponding emblems, while the central panel depicted the Sacraments - a grape vine, a dove over water, and a trefoil - and a pink cross with a white border.

In 1937, the reredos was removed and the entire east wall was blocked up, leaving just the stained glass windows visible only from the outside. The chapel was subsequently converted into the music school in 1940. The mosaic of the Last Supper came into the possession of an old Carthusian in 1942, who six years later had it restored and placed in the Memorial Chapel of Clayton Parish (St. John's) Church some 230 miles away. The reredos was rededicated in 1949. It is unknown what happened to the other parts of the original mosaic composition.

 
The new chapel at Charterhouse still in use was designed by G.G. Scott and built in 1927.

Cercle de Aix-Les-Bains

Parisian architect Abel Boudier designed the Grand Casino for Victor Emmanuel II and it opened in 1850. It was substantially expanded over the years and it was even used as a hospital during World War I.

 

Salviati decorated the vaulted ceiling of the dome of the South Hall with 300 sq meters of mosaics in 1882-83 after cartoons by Charles Lameire.

Amongst the designs are the twelve symbols of the zodiac, the four seasons, two angels, flora and other stylized motifs.

In 1936, architect Charles Siclis whitewashed much of the interior decoration; however, after a fire in 1963 and further remodeling in the 1980's, the casino has been restored to its former glory.

Villa Hanbury

Formerly the Palazzo Orengo, the villa is best known for its 18 hectares of botanical gardens (Giardini Botanici Hanbury) that is now operated by the University of Genoa.

Salviati manufactured the mosaic of Marco Polo with emblems of navigation that decorates a porch vestibule. It is signed "Salviati - 1888." The portrait is modeled after a painting by Giulio Carlini. Salviati exhibited an identical mosaic at the 1881 Milan Exhibition.
