DESIGN FOR A SIDEBOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 24,207, dated April 16, 1895.

Application filed March 21, 1895. Serial No. 542,725. Term of patent 7 years.

To all whonb it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN RINGOLD, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented acertain new and useful Design for a Bar or Sideboard; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

My new design relates to drinking bars, or Sideboards, and especially to that portion sometimes designated as the bac-lcbar.

In the drawing, making part of this specificatiou, and which is a front elevation of a bar,or sideboard, made after my design, A is the drinking bar, the front of which is shown as paneled; though the appearance thus produced is not material. The back-bar portion of the sideboard comprises a centrally located, oval, or elliptical, mirror B, arranged with its longer axis horizontal and, as shown, having the upper half of its frame gradually broadcued from either end of the mirror toward the topmost part, where it is provided with ashort, bracket-like pedestal N; and, on this pedestal is supported a statuette, preferably covered by a glass case i. In the case shown, the statuette is that of the three graces, modeled in clay, or bisque; but the subject of said statuelte may, of course, vary from that shown, the essential characteristic of this part of the design being some unique statuette, placed upon the central, upwardly projecting, portion h of the frame of the middle mirror B. Near each end of the back-bar is set, in a fancy frame, a circular mirror C, the center of which is at about the same elevation as that of the center of mirror B; and these two mirrors C, C, are located each the same distance from mirror B. Intermediately of each mirror 0 and the end of mirror B, nearer thereto, is a sort of cabinet, or bay-Window like, projection D, which may contain, behind its glass front, ornaments, of glass ware, or pottery; and immediately over each one of these cabinet-like portions D is located an oblong, or oval, mirror f, each of which, unlike the main, central, mirror 13, has its longer axis arranged in a vertical line. These mirrorsf, f, are ornamentally framed in portions of the cabinet work that substantially follows the semi-elliptical configurations of the upper halves of the mirrors, but which, from the middles of the mirrors, are curved outwardly and down wardly at either side, as seen at J.

The back-bar is finished out at each end with a handsome, vertical colu mu E, the upper end of which has a fancy capital, surmounted with an ornamental device, as clearly shown; and, on the bracket-like portions, at the tops of the frames of the circular mirrors (1,0, are ornaments c, c, consisting as shown, of busts. The novel and essential characteristics, however, of the whole back-bar design, are the oval mirrors,f,f, framed in between the two, circular mirrors G, C, and the central, oval, glass B,and projecting upwardly, far beyond the tops of all three of the mirrors placed in substantially the same horizontal line; and the pedestal 7L,surmounting the main mirror B and carrying a statuette; all substantially as shown.

Although the upwardly extended end columns E, E, surmounted with suitable ornaments, as illustrated, lend some novelty to the new design, the characteristic features of the mirrors f, f, and the central pedestal 71, carrying the statuette Z are what give the whole design its strikingly novel appearance.

What I therefore claim as of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The herein shown and described new design of sideboard, the essential, or characteristic, features of which are the elevated pedestal, located centrally over the main mirror of the back-bar and carrying a statuette; and the elevated,oval mirrorsfif, rising intermediately of the end mirrors 0, C, and the main, middle, mirror B, and elevated above the mirrors B, G and G, as hereinbefore set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of December, 189%.
