Colegiul National Ion C. Bratianu

This school was founded in 1866, but its present facility wasn't built until 1897-98.

The architecture and decoration of the building - including the facade mosaics by Salviati - is an almost replica of the Roman Voda Lyceum (Colegiul National Roman Voda) in the city of Roman and the Unirea Lyceum in Focsani (Colegiul National Unirea).

Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, New York

The parish was established in 1851, but construction on the present building designed by architect J. William Schickel was started only in 1895. It was dedicated in late 1898.

The Baptistry contains three mosaic panels depicting the life of St. John the Baptist. The cartoons were designed by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, while Salviati made and cut the tesserae. They were installed on site by Gorham Manufacturing.

Antonio Paoletti designed the mosaic Stations of the Cross that decorate most of the church and which were also made by Salviati and Company.

Three mosaic murals decorate the apse. They were also by Salviati after Paoletti's designs and these depict important moments from the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

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.

Central Lobby, Houses of Parliament

Four mosaics can be found in the central hall of the English Houses of Parliament in Westminster Palace. Two of them were made by Salviati.

St. George was designed by Sir Edward Poynter at a cost of £150 and manufactured by Salviati for £500. It was installed in 1870.

St. David was also by Poynter and Salviati, but it wasn't finished until 1898.

Funerary Monument of Giulio Salviati

Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey, England contains the grave of Antonio Salviati's son Giulio Salviati who was born in Naples in 1843 and died on March 4, 1898. Misidentified as Luigi Salviati by the New York Times, the master glass maker - whose father's accomplishments were mistakenly attributed to him by the paper - had committed suicide at the age of 55.

The four sided, obelisk-like base contains the Salviati company's trademark enamel mosaics. It was erected to Giulio by his widow Henriette.

Neuchatel Museum of Art and History

Located in western Switzerland, this building by architect Leo Chatelain that was constructed between 1880 and 1884 to house what was then called the Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Painting.

The large mosaic tympanum on the facade depicts The Glorification of Art and was completed around the same time as those in the half dome of the apse of St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest (1891-1905). While the tympanum is bare on an 1886 etching, a postcard from 1898 shows the completed mosaic, further narrowing down the date.

The facade also contains twelve medallions featuring heads representing different types of human races.

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.
