WALL OBNAME'NTATION.
Application filed December 17, 1925. Serial No. 76,057.
This invention relates to a novel wall ornamentation suitable'for decorative mantel or fire-place walls, wherein a decorative, floral or geometrical v le'sign, or the like is built into the mantel or fire-place wall, and has for one of its objects to producea Well defined design character. such as a floral or geometrical configuration formed of baked argillaceous material or glass articles set into a backing of mortar or the like.
The invention resides in a decorative mantel or fire-place wall which employs a series of articles of floral or geometrical configuration, each articlehaving theopposite ends thereof so formed asto render them complement-a1 to adjacent articles to ermit changes in relative positions of a jacent articles to pr'oduce'finished structures of different configurations.
The decorative articles being in the form of tiles preferably set in mortar or the like,
'itflis also intended'that the 'tilesmay be suitably secured uponthe outer face of a brick lire-place wallor the like, and said tiles may 'further be formed of solid or hollow: glass and set upon v a screen wall of a box struccontained within the box for illuminating the glass tiles.
\Vith the above general objects in View and others that will become apparent as the nature of the inventionis better understood,
the same consists of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and claimed.
In" the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Figures 1 and 2 show fragmentary front elevational' views of fire-place: mantels .for walls showing; areas "of different configurations to receive the decorative-tile,
Figure '3 is an enlarged base View of a portion of the "wall showing a sectional floral spray set into the wall with the complemental ends of the sections of the floral spray permitting relative different positions thereof to produce difierent designs,
Figure 4 1s a cross-sectlonal view taken on line 4'4 of Fig. 3 showing the decorative "fis superposed :upon a concrete base or the the outwardly curved end of the adjacent tile and stones set into colored mortar that like, x

F igure 6 is a front elevational view of a portion of a. wall of brick construction showing superposed thereon and in one of thedecorative tile,
Figure 7 is a front elevational view, partly broken away to show the method of setting up the decorative tile. and the completed structure,the 'tiles in this form of the invention being glass, and
Figure 8 isa cross-sectional view taken on line 88 of Fig. 7 showing a box structure having a. screen cover for supporting the decorative tile and illuminating means with-- As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the decorative tile is associated with the front face. of the fire-place walls 1 having different desi ns or configurations 2 and 3 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 for the support and display of the decorative tile, and as the sections forming the complete tile designs may be shifted to provide varied formations, the style of openings 2 and 3 in the front wall of the liteplaces may be changed, or, in other words, the sections of the decorative tile maybe so assembled and related to accommodate themselves to the forms of tile receiving openings in the fire-place walls. V I
The method employed in laying the decorative tile consists in first forming a concrete foundation 4 as shown in Fig. 4 upon which a fine border 5, preferably'colored, is placed, in which the decorative tile 6 partially the mantel disclosed herein is in the form of theleafspray and flower, it is to be understood that the same may be of any design desired, such as geometrical configurations or the'like. Thedecorative tile as shown in Figs 3 and 6 includes astub branch 7 having stems .8 directed outwardly thereof and carrying leaves 9 and flowers 10, the adjacent contacting ends of the stub branches 7 being complementally formed to permit ditlerent'relative positions of adjacent tiles, one end of the stub branch-7 beingprovided with a cavity ,llwhile the other end thereor. is. provided with an outwardly curved stud 12." It will, therefore, be seen that the cavity 11 forms substantially a. socket for tilc'which will permit various angular posiof entirely different configurations.
tions of adjacent stub branches 7 to enable the production of completed floral deisligns s a further decorative feature, pebbles 13 of various sizes and dimensions are set into the colored border 5 surrounding the decorative tile for the production of a highly ornamental mantel. The decorative tile heretofore described is preferably formed of an arglllace'ous material that is suitably colored, thereafter glazed on its exposed face and then baked to produce a thoroughly hardened object and the fluxing of the glazes. The glazing of the tiles may embody coloring or tinted effects to render the t1le highly attractive.
In, the form of the invention shown in Fig. 5 the base structure for the mantel ineludes studding 14: supporting a wooden base 15 upon which building paper16 is mounted, the metal lath or screen 17 upon the building paper being secured in position by the staples 18 and securing the body'of colored mortar 5 in position. The decorative tile generally designated 6 with the stones or pebbles 13 are partially embedded in the border 5 as described in connection with Fig. 4. j
A brick or stone wall isillustrated in Fig. 6, the blocks 19 being separated by the mortar layers 20 while tie wires 21 embedded in the decorative tile afiord attaching means for the securing staples 22 that are driven into the mortar layers 20. In this form of the invention, it is intended that the deco- .rative tile be superposed upon the brick or stone wall without the necessity of embed ding the same in mortar or the like.
The invention furthercontemplates the employment of glass decorative tile, either solid or hollow, the latter being, illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8 and wherein illuminating means is associated withthe glass t1le. As
shown in Fig.8,- a metallic'box 23 isset into an opening 24; in the brick or plastic wall. 25, said box being in thexform illustrated in plan view in Fig. 7 and provided with inwardly directed flanges 26 at its open outer side. A metallic screen 27 overlies the open outer side of the box and is secured to the flanges thereof by the fastening members 28.
The lass tile 6 is formed in sections with the abutting ends of adjacent sections complementally formed as previously described with reference to Fig. 3 and a-filling of mortar 5 upon the screen 27 surrounds the glass tile and, also has partially embedded therein,
with said tiles being colored or tinted, beautiful effects are attained.
In each form of the invention, the decorative tile disclosed is in the form of a floral spray or the like, although it is to be understood that other configurations may be employed, while adjacent contacting ends of the stub branches of the decorative tile are complementally formed to permit various relative angular positions of adjacent stub each embodying an elongated member hav ing one end convexed and its other end concaved, whereby the tile sections may belaid with unbroken joints indifferent angular relations. i
2. In a wall ornamentation, a tileof the 7 configuration of a section of a complete imitation object and embodying an elongated main member formed With complemental ends of convex and concave form respectively, whereby a plurality of the tiles may be set in endto end abutting relation and in different angular relations for cooperating to form the complete imitation object.
' 3; A wall ornamentation including a support, an ornamental border layerof plastic material applied to said support, and an imitation of an object embedded in and exposed at the outer surface'of said border layer,
said imitation object comprising a plurality of tile sections laiol'in endto end abutting relation. I" I 4. A wall ornamentation "including a support, an ornamental border layerof plastic material applied to said support, and an imitation of an objectembedded in and exposed.
at the outer surface of said border layer,
said imitation object comprising a'plurality' v of tile sections: laidin end to end abutting relatlon, each tile section being formed with vcomplemental ends of convex and concave' form, respectively, whereby the tile sections may be laid in different angularjrelations to follow border layers ofdifi'erent designs.
5. An illuminated wall ornamentation comprising a wall formed with a border r ei125 cess of ornamental form, a-foraminous support mounted in said recess spaced from the bottom of the latter and parallel with the plane of the wall, a border layer of plastic material covering said support, an imitation object embodying abutting lighbtransmitting tile sections embedded in and extending through said border layer to the support, and sources of light in said recess behind the support.
6. A Wall ornamentation including a design elenient formed of compleniental sections, an ornamental plastic border applied to the Wall, the design sections being embedded in the border in abutting relation,
and pebbles embedded in theborder at the 10 7 sides of the design element.
