The mat-board composition map and protective layers — check these before bringing in your piece.
A reference layer composition — the team will advise specifically based on your piece's colors and size.
Inner Mat
The layer closest to the piece, usually a neutral tone so it doesn't compete with the artwork's colors.
Outer Mat
A subtly contrasting border layer that adds depth to the frame.
Outermost Frame
Material and color should suit the space where it will hang.
Glazing Gap
A small gap between the piece and the glazing helps avoid direct moisture contact.
UV-Protective Glazing
Reduces the effect of light exposure on a piece's colors over time.
Acid-Free Backing
Limits yellowing on paper pieces or old photos during long-term storage.
Conservation Tape
A specialized tape that leaves no residue if removed later.
Protective layers help limit light and air exposure, but cannot guarantee complete preservation depending on actual storage conditions.
Yes, please bring it in directly or describe its condition so the team can advise on the right handling approach.
