Improvements in the Production of Imitations of Stone, Marble,
Terra Cotta, and such like, for the Decoration of Buildings,
Statuary, and other Surfaces.
I DANIEL COTTIER of 3 Saint James' Terrace, Regents Park in the County of
Middlesex Artist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention I apply powdered sandstone, freestone, brick, terra cotta,
granite, onyx or marble, sand or dust to any interior or exterior architectural work
either curved or plain or to buildings or structures of all sorts or to statuary or ornaments
made with stone, brick, plaster, terra cotta, cements of all kinds or to stucco or other
like compositions.
The powder or sand of any of the above mentioned substances is caused to adhere
to the surfaces by means of prepared paint made with oils spirts tars varnishes or other
sticky materials.
The powder or sand or dust is to be put on by a dredger or thrown by hand instru-
ments made for the purpose or by an air blast or engine driven by hand water gas
steam or electricity or otherwise.
It is claimed that work so done will withstand the wear and tear of climate and
weather better than any simple paint while at the same time the natural and artistic
effects gained will be evident to all.
By its application to the reproduction of stone or marble statuary and ornaments
the self same look of the originals can also be given.

I DANIEL COTTIER of 3 Saint James' Terrace, Regents Park in the County of
Middlesex Artist do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
According to this Invention I apply powdered sandstone, freestone, brick, terra
cotta, granite, onyx or marble, sand or dust to any interior or exterior architectural
work either curved or plain or to buildings or structures of all sorts or to statuary or
ornaments made with stone, brick, plaster, terra cotta cements of all kinds or to stucco
or other like compositions.
The powder or sand of any of the above mentioned substances is caused to adhere
to the surfaces by means of paint made with oils spirits fars varnishes or other sticky
materials which are insoluble in water.
The powder or sand or dust is to be put on by a dredger or thrown by hand instru-
ment made for the purpose or by an air blast or engine driven by hand water gas steam
or electricity or otherwise.
It is claimed that work so done will withstand the wear and tear of climate and
weather better than any simple paint while at the same time the natural and artistic
effects gained will be evident to all.
By its application to the reproduction of stone or marble statuary and ornaments
the self same look of the originals can also be given. In these cases the stone or
marble would have to be reduced to a very fine powder.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The decoration of buildings statuary and other surfaces by first coating the surface
with paint, varnish or other adhesive substance which is insoluble in water and then
dusting or projecting on to it the powder or dust of any of the herein before mentioned
substances.
