British and Foreign Marine Insurance Co. Ltd.

Located just blocks from Albert Dock and adjacent to Liverpool Town Hall, this building on the east side of Castle Street was designed in 1889 by G.E. Grayson and housed the British and Foreign Marine Insurance Company for almost 70 years.

A colorful mosaic frieze of three separate shipping scenes located above the second-floor windows is attributed to the Salviati Company. 

The panel on the left is the most damaged out of the three, but it is signed on the bottom right corner by the mosaic's designer: "Frank Murray 1889".

St. Thomas of Canterbury Elsfield

G.E. Street restored this late 12th century church in 1859.

A reredos from around 1860 of The Last Supper decorates the central panel of the sanctuary on the east wall. It was paid for by the vicar's wife, Louisa Parsons.

A mosaic frieze of angels also lines the walls of the same area.

The mosaics were restored in 2011 and the work won the 2012 Oxford Preservation Trust award.

Parish Church of St. Peter Leeds

On February 21, 1865 - six years after starting his first mosaic workshop in Murano - Dr. Salviati gave a heartfelt lecture in front of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society about both the history of the craft of mosaic making, as well as about the benefits of the revolutionary new process that Lorenzo Radi developed for the Salviati-made pieces. Within just a few years, the local parish church would also be fitted with these mosaics.

Also known as Leeds Minster, this English Gothic style church was rebuilt in 1839-41 by architect R.D. Chantrell.

The east-end sanctuary (seen to the left of the central tower), which contains an arcade of Salviati mosaics possibly from 1876 depicting the twelve apostles, was renovated between 1870 and 1880 by G.E. Street. This seems to be a similar type of chancel expansion that was done in 1870 in the Gonville and Caius Chapel at Cambridge.

While Salviati's mosaics were always made of glass enamel tesserae, the central reredos of Christ in Glory surrounded by angels was made of colored marble and alabaster. It was designed by G.E. Street and executed by Thomas Earp and Rust in 1888 following cartoons by Clayton and Bell.

Apple Store at 235 Regent Street

Currently serving as an Apple Store in downtown London, this building spanning an entire block of Regent Street was built in 1898, well after Antonio Salviati's death. However, the facade contains some very prominent spandrel mosaics produced by the firm at the time to advertise their shop that occupied the premises.

Overall, four coats-of-arms and two lions are represented. Above them are some of the cities where Salviati's wares could be found: Paris, New York, St. Petersburg and Berlin.

On the left is the heraldry for the cities of London and Westminster, along with the British royal lion.

 
On the right, the islands of Murano and Burano are represented, along with the Venetian lion of St. Mark.

Chester Cathedral

Also known as Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, the current building dates back to the 13th century.

The building underwent a major restoration in 1868-76 by G.G. Scott, leading to its current high Victorian look.

A Salviati mosaic of The Last Supper from 1876 designed by J.R. Clayton decorates the high altar.

Salviati mosaics can also be found in the St. Erasmus Chapel of the cathedral.
