Hand-painted French mats
A traditional craft

Hand-painted
French Mats.

Few framers in Texas still practice the centuries-old technique of hand-painted French mats — fine decorative lines and watercolor washes applied directly to the mat surface. The result is a frame element that becomes part of the artwork itself.

We've used this technique for botanicals, vintage prints, and fine art commissions throughout our 41-piece showcase.
