What is a Fillet? :

A fillet is a decorative accessory that can be inserted into the opening
of a mat or the lip of a frame. When used with a mat, it is most common
to choose a fillet that coordinates with the color and style of the frame.
However, when you want to add a fillet inside the frame, contrast is
most desirable. Fillets are available in a wide variety of colors, styles,
and widths for all of your framing needs. We are always happy to show
you our selection.












Liners :

A liner is a border used between the art and frame when mats aren’t
appropriate. Paintings on canvas and needlepoint are two art forms
where liners are often used. Although, the first liners were gilded panels,
fabric-wrapped liners are quite common today. Most are neutral in tone,
allowing the colors in the art to stand out. Liners come in various profile
shapes and widths to create an ideal combination with the desired
frame. We can combine liners just like we layer mats, creating a truly
custom work of art.
