COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Mounting Ornamental Work for Various
Purposes.
I JAMES LEWIS, of Ivy Cottage Saint Marks Street, Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
1
My invention has for its object "Improvements in mounting ornamental work for
various purposes, and refors to designs of pearl whether in one solid piece or in
sections sometimes in combination with gold silver and black metal which has been
mounted behind glass my improvement consisting of encasing the same in a metallic
mount of any or varied designs and backing same with any suitable material so as to
form compact ornaments which may be easily applied for ornamentation to any
article such as bedsteads, thereby saving much labour which has hitherto been
expended in applying the said ornamentation direct to the articles themselves.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried into
practice I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon which
1 have illustrated several modifications in shape of my improvement, as well as one
application to an article but I wish it to be understood that there may be great
variety of shape and design as well as an extensive application to various purposes.
Figure 1. is a front elevation of a circular ornament containing a layer of pearl
behind glass and suitable for applying to articles such as bedsteads &c.
Figure 2. is a section through same.
Figure 3. is a back elevation of same.
Figure 4. is a front elevation of a circular ornament containing a layer of pearl in
combination with gold silver or other metal 6' to form ornamental designs.
Figures & 6. are front elevations shewing modifications both in shape and
design.
Figure 7. shews one application of the circular ornament K to the part of a
bedstead Z.
The pearl gold silver or other metal B is fixed between the glass D and backing E
and is then provided with the back F which is composed preferably of metal the
D

glass D in front at a¹ and also round the back F at a². The back F is provided
with the screwed hole for any other arrangement which may be required to fix the
ornaments to the articles to which they are to be applied.
The design may be varied and pearl alone may be inserted in one solid piece or in
sections as described, or pearl and gold or pearl and silver or silver and gold or black
and gold the whole being secured together with the metal casing A of any required
shape.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to he performed I declare that what I
claim is
In improvements in mounting ornamental work for various purposes, the metal
case A securing designs of pearl gold silver or black behind glass substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth and described.
