ABSTRACT:
A mat structure and method of matting is disclosed, wherein a front mat is formed having a first opening. A second mat is formed having an opening smaller than the first opening in the front mat. A well mat is formed having an opening corresponding to the outer dimensions of the second mat and corresponding to the dimensions of a picture to be matted. A backing member is also provided. In a first configuration, the well mat is secured to the backing member. In a second configuration, the well mat is secured to the back of the front mat. In either configuration, a picture is positioned within the opening in the well mat so that, when the second mat is positioned in the well over the picture, the picture is secured in place by the second mat either opposing the backing member (in the first configuration) or opposing the back of the front mat (in the second configuration). The resulting structure comprising the front mat, second mat, well mat, picture, and backing member may then be framed.
