Kaiser Friedrich III Mausoleum

The structure holding the final resting place of the German emperor was added to the north side of the Protestant Church of Peace (Friedenskirche) located in Potsdam's Sanssouci Park between 1888 and 1890. The architect was Julius Raschdorff, who also designed the Berlin Dom (Cathedral) and Reichsburg Castle, the latter which also had Salviati mosaic decorations.

The cupola of the High Italian Renaissance style mausoleum can be seen to the right of the church itself.

Friedrich's sarcophagus is located in the middle of the rotunda, alongside that of his wife Empress Victoria. As the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, she was the former Princess Royal of Great Britain and Ireland. The tombs of two of their young sons are also interred here.

Salviati adorned the tomb with mosaics, including those on the wall showing "VRI" for Victoria Regina Imperatrix, which are now missing. As seen from the recent picture above, compared to the interior in 1931 the entire lower level has been refaced in black marble. The interior of the dome is still said to contain the mosaics of alternating angels and palm trees; however, entrance to the mausoleum is restricted and no photographs have been found.

Reading Minster of St. Mary the Virgin

The main church building dates to the 11th century, but restorations have been done to it throughout the years, including in the 19th century, in both 1863 and 1872.

The mosaics of the Evangelists, that were originally part of the reredos, were moved to the Lady Chapel in 1953.

Villa Thenard, Antibes

French chemist Baron Louis-Jaques Thenard built this villa before his death in 1857. Russian Grand Dukes Nikolai and Peter Nikolaevich Romanoff (cousins of the last tsar) moved into the villa with their wives on May 1, 1919. The exiled brothers would both die here in 1929 and 1931, respectively.

Today, the property is known as Chateau Algarve and it is available as a luxury vacation rental.

Salviati mosaic decorations adorned the villa including a frieze and portraits of various men. The status of these mosaics is unknown, although it is possible that they were removed or lost during past renovations.

Holy Trinity Church, Hawley

This church was built as a direct result of the Oxford Movement in 1856-57 by architect J.B. Clacy, replacing the original church from the 1830s. It was soon extended in 1868.

The Salviati mosaics in the Sanctuary were a gift of Miss Tipping and were installed around 1875.

The reredos behind the altar depicts the symbols for alpha and omega, with a central, carved stone cross made from English alabaster. The Pelican and the Lamb of God can also be found in the side panels. All of them are on Salviati's traditional gold background.

Mosaic panels set within trefoil arcades on either side of the High Altar depict, on the left, the Old Testament prophets Melchisedek, Moses and David; on the right, the Apostles St John, St Paul and St Peter.
