Queen's Robing Room, Houses of Parliament

Located between the Victoria Tower and the Royal Gallery in Westminster Palace, the Queen's Robing Room is used by the Queen of England to don her royal attire (including her royal crown) before the opening of the Houses of Parliament.

Salviati decorated the room's fireplace - designed by E.M. Barry and installed between 1864-66 - with enamel mosaics.

Holy Trinity Cannes

The original church was built in 1884, the same year that Queen Victoria's son Prince Leopold died in Cannes. The original church stood until 1970, when it had become too deteriorated and the large piece of land on which it stood became too valuable. That year, it was pulled down and rebuilt on the original corner of the lot, with the unconsecrated land used for new apartment buildings.

The Salviati mosaic reredos of The Last Supper can be found in the new church displayed on a side wall.

Albert Memorial

G.G. Scott won the competition to design this memorial to Queen Victoria's late husband in 1863. It is located in London's Kensington Gardens, just to the north of the Royal Albert Hall and not far from the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain.

The cartoons for the eight exterior spandrels, four triangular gables, and the interior of the dome were painted by J.R. Clayton, which Salviati decorated with 1,200 sq ft of Venetian mosaic.

South facade - Poetry

East facade - Painting

North facade - Architecture

West facade - Sculpture

Albert was a great patron of the arts and the gables depict enthroned allegorical figures of Painting, Sculpture, Poetry, and Architecture, while the spandrels shows the artists at work in those fields.

Albert Memorial Chapel, Windsor Castle

Among Antonio Salviati's first English commissions was an 1862 request from Queen Victoria for the decoration of the Wolsey Chapel in the east passage of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, which was turned into the Albert Memorial Chapel soon after the December 1861 death of her beloved husband.

In addition to the tomb of Victoria's grandson Albert, Duke of Clarence (d. 1892), the chapel also contains the remains of her youngest son, Prince Leopold (d. 1884).

The 28 panels of the west wall's blank window are decorated with mosaics of full-length figures of historic individuals who have some type of connection to Windsor Castle including British Kings, Queens and Prelates. This section of mosaic was ordered separately in 1864.

The extensive ceiling mosaics that cover about 2,100 square feet, as well as the soffits of the side windows feature 92 angels, heraldry and floral motifs. The general designs were by G.G. Scott and the cartoons were created by J.R. Clayton. The ceiling mosaics were completed first, and the pre-fabrication (in Venice), transportation to London and installation took a total of ten months.

Royal Frogmore Mausoleum

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were both buried in this private mausoleum located on the Frogmore Estate that adjoins Windsor Castle. Designed by Albert Jenkins Humbert and Ludwig Gruner soon after the Prince's December 1861 death, the Romanesque building was consecrated in December 1862.

The mausoleum's extensive interior decorations were not fully completed until 1871. However, the entrance portico's walls and ceiling of Salviati mosaics were finished by the mausoleum's consecration. With this project, Queen Victoria had given the firm the first of its numerous English commission.

According to a 1901 article, within the interior of the mausoleum "the pendentives of the lanterns are filled with pictures executed by Salviati in mosaic".
