DESIGN FOR A PICTURE-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 23,970, dated January 29, 1895.

Application filed December 15, 1894. Serial No. 531,975. Term of patent 3% years.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUSTUS H. DURBUR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented and produced a new and useful Design for Picture-Frames, of which the following is a. specification.

My design is for a frame for pictures, mirrors and the like.

The leading feature of my design consists of the perforated or open work ornamentation, the parts not being all in one plane, and consisting of various leaves and flowers, or parts of flowers, and foliated figures as shown in the drawing, which extend from the outer portion of the central inner picture holding frame, the majority of the ornamental figures being inclined at an angle to the plane so as to produce natural and artistic effects.

At H, is the frame.

At A, is a central crowning and foliated figure, which forms the central upper orna ment of the frame and is composed of the foliated figures c' with the small owers placed thereon, and which extend to and join the corner-figures B and G on the opposite corners of the frame, thusV forming the top or outer border of the frame, and between the figure A and the corner Iigures are placed small flowers or bunches of flowers b as shown.

The central-crowning, or foliated ligure inclines forward, and the various leaves and figures are so related to one another that they do not lie in a single plane but present a natural appearance of leaves and flowers exist- 3 5 ing as such.

The corners D and F are similar to the ornaments B and G, on which are placed small flowers b, both ornaments D and F joining the base-central and foliated ornament 4o E, which by extending to the corner ornament D and F form the bottom or outer border of the frame, on which are placed small flowers or bunches of flowers as shown at b. 'lhese ornaments above described are raised above 45 and below one another and at angles varying somewhat from the plane of the picture so as to producea natural effect, the spaces between the ornamentation being open.

The sides of the frame between the corners 5o B, D, F, G, are formed of interspersed foliated figures c', and the Howers or bunches of flowers b, substantially as shown.

The design for a picture frame and the like, 55 substantially as herein shown and described.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 28th day of November, A. D. 1894.

AUGUSTUS H. DURBUR.
