Description
The Salutation Inn is a public house built in 1910 by A.P. Killick. It is constructed of red brick and features vibrant pale blue and mauve faience tile dressings. The building has three storeys and cellars, with two windows on the façade. The ground floor is tiled and supported by pilasters, with an entablature that rises to form segmental arches over the entrances, one of which is now blocked. The central window is of the Venetian type and has small panes in the upper lights. The pilasters and window apron are decorated with blue panels outlined in mauve. The mauve entablature features white griffins in relief, and there is a blue cornice above.
On the first floor, there is a central tiled panel that reads "Fuller, Smith and Turner. Chiswick 1910." Flanking this are tiled oriel windows with three transom and mullion lights, also in blue tiles, and small panes. The window aprons have a dentil cornice and a cartouche made of mauve tiles, with a cornice above and a penthouse roof. A blue tile band runs at sill level, and there are banded pilaster strips at the building's angles. The main cornice at the second floor level is made of mauve tiles and features central segmental arched decoration. The second floor has two paired sash windows linked by mauve tiled flat arches, flanked by keyed oculi with blue architraves and mauve keys. Pale blue pilasters outlined in mauve are present at the angles, and the mauve parapet has a central segmental pediment that bears the legend "Salutation Inn."
The entrance is tiled with a blue dado and has cream walls adorned with swagged motifs. The double entrance doors feature stained glass panels in the Art Nouveau style and brass plates. Although the interior is now open plan, it retains the original small front bar and large back bar, both of which are panelled and contain most original fittings and features. The back bar is illuminated by a large ceiling lantern and includes an original fireplace with a mirror mantlepiece. The Salutation Inn is a rare and complete example of lustrous faience tiling in London.
