French Mats

The traditional technique of French Matting has been making a comeback.  French Mats are used to enhance various types of paper art such as fine art prints, drawings, watercolors, botanicals, awards and maps.  A simple gilded bevel, custom laid papers and lines all add ambiance and elegance within the right context.  These elements can be used individually or in concert to enrich the overall viewing experience.  Our consultants will walk with you through the design and your matting will be expertly created specifically for your piece.  The following examples may serve as an introduction to French Matting.


“A number of years ago, knowing that I love marionettes, my son had brought me a beautiful one from Europe (based on the jellicle cat dancers in “Cats”).  The face, hands, and feet are hand-painted porcelain and it is a very special puppet.  For years, though, I had no place for it and sat it in a small rocking chair.  As a result, the strings were tangled, it was dusty, and in danger of being ruined.   I took it to John at Framed In Time and he built the most beautiful, perfect, display cabinet for this exquisite piece.  The door is hinged (because marionettes are meant to be taken out and played with, of course), and the backing and frame chosen to complement the colors of the piece.  I couldn’t be more pleased by the outcome.  Thank you, Framed In Time!”
