Product Information

When Leonardo et al used the Golden Ratio it was for overall size and positioning of components within a composition, not for dictating mount and frame surrounds.

The picture, photo, or print should be taped to the rear of the mount behind the cut-out (aperture) using self-adhesive tape (not supplied). Not the photographers fault I know, but they end up supplying them, but someone should inform the manufacturers of these mass produced mounts and the university's of this. but alas I admit not that often, but after 50 years of exhibiting all over the world, one is not for changing. Why should not we be doing what we think looks right so well and why are we so unwilling to trust our instincts and revert to mathematics instead. How does the golden ratio help you when it not quite the size of frame, which looks right for mount dimensions according to the golden ratio?I would be interested to hear your views on whether most picture framers use mats that have equal margins on the top and sides, but a larger margin at the bottom. Whether you're looking for a single or double mount, we offer a range of options to suit your preferences. In the following video and article below, we'll walk you through a few options and techniques you can use to design a custom frame that perfectly suits your art. The twelfth and thirteenth centuries brought about the hand-carved, wooden frames that we recognise today. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

You can do that by making the mount bottom heavy, by which it means a thicker bottom mount, with a narrower top mount thickness or even side thicknesses.

Until I read about the "balance rule" I hadn't really perceived that the base appears to be narrower than it really is! This ensures that the mat will slightly overlap the image without any gaps that would show the white of the paper.

These mounts are ideal for displaying your favourite photos and art; it is up to you whether you put them in a frame. The top board has a 'V' groove channel, and the bottom board is extra thick, which helps accentuate its 3D effect. I think it more likely that they just did it by eye and the measurements to derive the ratio were made at a later time.One of the earliest physical frames dates back to AD 50-70; the wooden frame and the portrait within were found in an Egyptian tomb and was almost perfectly preserved. Some photographs are not reproducible, the negative or digitial file may have been lost or destroyed, to assume otherwise is arrogant folly.
