Chester Cathedral - Nave Mosaic

            Cathedral church of the former Benedictine Abbey for St Werburgh. On the site of Saxon minster founded in or before 958, the present structure was started at the east end in the Romanesque style in 1092 and was completed by the Lady Chapel in 1250. Extensive Victorian alterations 1868-76 by Sir George Gilbert Scott; 1882 and after by Sir Arthur Blomfield; 1911-13 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

The mosaics were executed by Salviati of Venice and designed by J. R. Clayton of Clayton and Bell, and date from 1883 to 1886. The mosaics depicting the patriarchs and prophets Abraham, Moses, David and Elijah were installed by Burke and Co. They are made from different shades of marble and are one of the largest examples of Pre-Raphaelite work in an English Cathedral.

Clayton and Bell was one of the most prolific and proficient English workshops of stained glass during the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century. 

Salviati from Murano, Venice made some of the worlds most famous mosaics and glassware including the lobby in the Palace of Westminster and Aduja National Palace in Lisbon.
