Abstract

A decorative molding assembly for a variety of surface applications providing a complex molding feature with a machine made single component set composite configured insert. A channel base molding receives a unique configured U-shaped insert forming linear spaced and aligned viewing openings for an underlying contrasting base material achieving a hand crafted detailed look with a single overlying molding tunnel insert combination.

1 . An elongated decorative trim assembly comprising,
 first and second elongated base moldings,   a receiving channel formed therebetween, a decorative insert in said receiving channel, a U-shaped apertured viewing insert selectively positioned within said receiving channel overlying said decorative insert,   an elongated backing strip registerably securing said first and second base moldings together.   
     
     
         2 . The elongated decorative trim assembly set forth in  claim 1  wherein said apertures in said U-shaped viewing insert are in longitudinal spaced relation to one another. 
     
     
         3 . The elongated decorative trim assembly set forth in  claim 1  wherein said U-shaped viewing insert has spaced parallel leg portions of unequal length depending from an interconnecting contoured top portion therebetween. 
     
     
         4 . The elongated decorative trim assembly set forth in  claim 1  wherein said U-shaped viewing insert longitudinally spaced apertures have oppositely disposed co-planar leg edge surfaces. 
     
     
         5 . The elongated decorative trim assembly set forth in  claim 1  wherein said elongated backing strip has spaced parallel elongated upstanding end flanges registerable in corresponding aligned attachment channels in said respective first and second base moldings non-viewable surfaces.
