METHOD OF MAKING PICTURE-FRAME MOLDING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,643, dated October 6, 1885.
Application filed December 16, 1884. Serial No. 150,539. (No model.)
To all whom it nmy concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES O. BAXTER, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in the Method of Making Picture-Frame Molding, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a face view of a piece of pictureframe molding produced by my improved method. Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on line 2 2, Fig. 1.
My invention relates to an improved method of making antique picture-frame molding; and it consists in first casting the body of the molding of a suitable composition, with any desired ornament in its face, then coating its face thoroughly with shellac, upon which is added a coat of oil or gilders oil-size, the shellac preventing the oil from being absorbed by the substance of the molding. The next step is to coat or cover the face of the molding with metal leaf-such as gold, silver, or copper,according to the effect desired-which' is caused to adhereto the body of the molding by the use of the oil. The face of the frame is then shaded by a suitable coloring material such as, for instance, a compound of lampblack and gum-arabic. When this coloring has dried sufficiently, the prominent or projecting parts of the molding are thoroughly cleaned off by means of a damp cloth,which removes the coloring-matter from them and leaves them the color of the gold, silver, or copper metal above mentioned, thus producing a contrast between them and the recessed part ofthe molding; or, if care is taken not to get coloring-matter 011 the prominent parts, this wiping process may be dispensed with. After this is done and the coloring or shading matter has become quite dry, the next and last step is to thoroughly coat the entire face of the molding with a colorless varnish or equivalent material, which excludes the atmosphere and gives a bright appearance to the molding. Molding can thus be produced very cheaply,and has a finely-polished appearance, as well as being lasting and durable.
I claim as my invention The herein-described method of producing antique picture-frame molding, which consists in first casting the body of the molding of a composition with suitable designs in its face, then coating it with shellac, upon which is added a coat of oil, then covering it with metal leaf-such as gold, silver, or copper,according to the effect desiredthen shading it by means of asuitable coloring substance,and, finally, adding a coat of colorless varnish or equivalent material, substantially as set forth.
