The object of my invention is to so combine a system of radial mirrored frames with a table or stand having a top and one or more platforms below the same that the structure will have an elaborate and attractive appear ance, owing to numerous reflections of objects placed thereon.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table or stand made according to my invention; Fig. 2, a sectional plan on the line 1 2; and Fig. 3 a vertical section on the line 3 4.

A is the top of the table or stand, and D radial frames, (three in the present instance,)

' which support the top and terminate in feet a.

B and E are shelves or platforms secured to the frames D, the platform B forming the base of the stand, and the platform E occupying a position about midway between the base and top. The top, base-platform B, and intervening platform E are circular inform; but this shape need not be adhered to in all cases, and each of these members of the structure consists of a frame containing a mirror, in which reflections of objects placed thereon will appear.

Each of the connecting-frames D is provided with mirrors in which will appear reflections of objects deposited on the base-platform B or shelf E, each frame containing in the present pensed with, and each frameD provided with but two opposite mirrors for reflecting objects placed on the remaining platform, and in some cases the platform need not be provided with mirrors; but the use of two platforms, and the mirroring of both of the same, as shown in the drawings, are preferred.

I claim as my invention-- 1. A table or stand in which are combined a top, A, one or more platforms beneath the same, and a series of radial supporting-frames, D, having on opposite sides mirrors for reflecting objects placed upon said platform or platforms, as set forth.

2. A table or stand in which are combined a top, A, one or more platforms beneath the same, and a series of radial supporting-frames, D, the frames having mirrored sides, and each platform having a mirrored top, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name tothis specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

MATTHE'W MONEYMENT.
