Abstract: A decorative surface arrangement for an article of furniture includes a plurality of tiles, at least some of which carry decorative matter on their exposed surfaces. The edges of each tile have retaining means cooperable with retaining means on the edges of other tiles to maintain the tiles in engagement with one another while permitting relative sliding movement between the tiles in the plane of the decorative surface. The tiles move within a frame fixed to the furniture and engage retaining means carried by the frame. There is space available within the frame for accommodating one tile more than the number of tiles within the frame. The retaining means may include tongue means projecting laterally from part of the circumference of each tile and groove means in the remaining part of the tile circumference.
