A family called Salviati were glass makers and mosaicists in Murano, Venice and also in London, working as the firm Salviati, Jesurum & Co. of 213 Regent Street, London; also as Salviati and Co. and later (after 1866) as the Venice and Murano Glass and Mosaic Company (Today Pauly & C. - Compagnia Venezia Murano). In 1898 the company's new London premises at 235 Regent Street (now the Apple Store) incorporated a set of mosaic armorials along the façade which are still visible today and were restored in 1999. The company was founded by Dr Antonio Salviati, a lawyer from Vicenza in Northern Italy. The family included Giulio Salviati (1843–1898) and worked on several buildings in the United Kingdom and other countries during the 19th century, including: *the Albert Memorial *Westminster's Altar Screen *Westminster Cathedral *the Council House, Birmingham *the Chamberlain Memorial, Birmingham. *St David's Cathedral in Wales. *St Paul's Cathedral, London *Ajuda National Palace,〔http://www.palacioajuda.pt/pt-PT/coleccoes/vidro/ContentDetail.aspx?id=331〕 Lisbon. The company was later acquired in 1999 by the French glassmaker that would later be known as Arc International. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salviati (glassmakers)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
