A family called Salviati were glass makers and mosaicists in Murano, Venice and also in London, working as the firm Salviati, Jesuram & Co. of 213 Regent Street, London; also as Salviati and Co. and later (after 1869) as the Venice and Murano Glass and Mosaic Company. The founder of the company was Antonio Salviati. The family included Giulio Salviati (1843-1898) and worked on several buildings in the United Kingdom during the 19th century, including:
- the Albert Memorial
- Westminster Cathedral
- the Council House, Birmingham
- the Chamberlain Memorial, Birmingham.
- St David's Cathedral in Wales.
The company was later acquired in 1999 by the French glassmaker that would later be known as Arc International.
