Photo Mount Boards
Over 60 premium colours - Acid-free - Fine Art Trade Guild approved
A photo mount (also called a picture mount or matboard) is the elegant coloured border that surrounds your artwork or photo inside the frame. While entirely optional, we strongly recommend adding a mount for most pieces - it dramatically enhances the visual appeal of your artwork and provides important conservation benefits by creating a protective space between the image and the glazing.

Are the colours accurate?
Yes - we use a spectrophotometer to scan the board to get the colour code. Howvever, your screen settings, and the way colour is displayed, may make the colour appear differently.
