PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Producing Raised or Moulded Ornamental
Designs or Effects on Surfaces.
I, JOHN SCOTT, of the Firm of A. and J. Scott, Painters and Decorators
247 Sauchiehall Street, in the City and County of Glasgow, do hereby declare the'
nature of my invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to and comprises an improved method of working.
compo-work rendering it high in relief, so as to produce raised or moulded figure
designs or ornamental effects on cloth or other material or surfaces in a simple and
inexpensive manner, and intended principally to form the surfaces of walls or
ceilings in buildings.
. 3
According to my improved method I use a stencil or moulding of cardboard, or
other suitable material cut or formed in shape and pattern according to the figure.
design or ornamental effect intended to be produced, and of a thickness corresponding
to the depth of raised effect desired.
The substance used to produce this raised or relievo effect would be of the nature
of what is known as Gesso, or other material of a viscous or plastic consistency.
This viscous substance would be spread by a knife or spatula on to the cloth or
other surface through the open or perforated parts of stencil board forming the
pattern of design.
When these raised plastic designs are formed on cloth cr the like, this would form
a portable material for being cemented on to the walls or ceilings of buildings or
other surfaces. But the same effect may be produced direct on the walls or ceilings
of buildings or or other surfaces.
The figures or designs may be moulded or touched up afterwards by hand, and
be subsequently coated with paint of the desired colour, or covered with gold,
silver, or other coloured leaf.
