ABSTRACT:
A furniture top insert holds a scale model of a familiar landscape within a recess and is protected by a double layer of transparent material. The furniture top is constructed to be inserted within the edges of a table, cabinet, credenza or the like and lie flush with the supper surface of the furniture. Within the recess, miniature trees, shrubs, ponds, turf, walkways or driveways, and other replicas of landscape features are placed so that they accurately depict a known landscape, such as a particular hole at a famous golf course. The frame for the landscape is made primarily of wood, reinforced with braces to support the weight of the scale model and its protective transparent bilayer. Exposed regions of the frame are constructed from finished wood, or may comprise a veneer of a variety of materials to provide a variety of ornamental appearances. This decorative combination gives the illusion of a bird's -eye view of the landscape scene while providing a functional surface that permits the furniture piece to be used in the usual, intended manner.
