Frame Matting

These are some menu's from the Hollywood Rosevelt Hotel. Many years ago, that my Tutu collected and had framed. They have been hanging in her dining room for as long as I can remember.

utu asked me to have them re-matted. As the last time she had them framed was something like 30 or 35 years ago.

Anyways, I decided (with her approval) to take some of the fabric left over from my wedding dress and cover the existing mats. They really look beautiful.

 

Frame Matting

It is hard to see here but what i did was to take out the oud mat, and cover it using tacky glue with the fabric. When it was diy I taped the menu to the back. As this is the way it was done origanally

This is the inside of the menu's here are what a few of the meals read:

Filet Mignon Saute in Shallots and Red Wine on Slice of Egg Plant, Breakfast Bacon, Mushrooms, Baked Tomato with Spinach Mornay, New String Beans, Potatoes Noisette .... $2.50

Fresh Lobster a la Thermidor ..... $1.25

Homemade Chees Cake ....... $0.25

Pot of Coffee .......$0.25

Half a Fresh Lobster, Shrimp Salad, Crab Meat Salad with a center of Chef's Salad. Quartered Tomato, Egg & Asparagus Tips ....... $1.50
