Opted not to do so on ours, because it had a huge 5" border that I didn't want to cut down. Probably wouldn't be the easiest thing to do on those larger pieces, but could probably be adapted to work, especially if planning on floating the piece. It also allows me to use my choice of hinges without worrying that the hinge will be visible through the papyrus. The point in doing this is two-fold one, it allows me to get the papyrus relatively flat, but still keep a slight ripple in it to retain that "life". :smiley:įor customer papyrus pieces, the smaller ones anyway, what I have done in the past is mounted the papyrus to a 1-ply rag mat with the edges torn so the mat is slightly smaller than the papyrus. Also, given the fact that the papyrus itself smelled like camel poop, I didn't relish the idea of heating that up in the press. For the big guy though, giving what it cost us, I wasn't going to take any chances. For those, I didn't care about putting the art against the glass because it was just for me, purely decorative, and those pieces really DID cost only $10. Framed in the same Prado/Egyptian gold combo, with the papyrus right against the glass. I drymounted them to a mat knockout that was slightly smaller than the papyrus, and floated them on a piece of the black ceylon suede (my go-to for papyrus pieces before they discontinued it. This is ours (finished outer dimensions about 77" x 45"):Īctually, Dave, that's pretty much what I did for the ones hanging over the couch. Personally I like the rippling of the hinged papyrus. Dave is right, though, they are rather lifeless when completely flat. ![]() I have drymounted smaller papyrus pieces in the past, and have two hanging over the couch in the living room. UV-acrylic covers the face, and it's in a double frame (Larson Juhl's Prado and Roma's Egyptian in gold). I did "mat" it, but did so with a silk-wrapped, 4" wide wood mat liner with a fillet. They seem pretty secure, but I also added some support strips along the bottom to help keep it in place. On ours, I hinged it like I would a print, using several P-90 hinges along the top, taking care to burning the h e l l out of them. The difference in the quality of what we bought at the gallery and the quality of the touristy stuff they try to push off on you while you're on the street is radically different. The one we got on our trip to Egypt ran us about $340, and that was after beating them up on the price a bit. ![]()
