  • Display frame for decorative object
    Patent number: 4368585
    Abstract: An improved display frame is disclosed for holding and displaying a disc-like object, such as a decorative collector's plate. The display frame is particularly suitable for use with a decorative plate made of crystal having an etching on its surface, in that the display frame includes gripping fingers for holding and maintaining the decorative plate in spaced relation from a non-reflective surface of the display frame. In this way, diffused light strikes and highlights the etching on the crystal plate, thereby enhancing the visual appearance and attractiveness of the plate.
