Crescent Select Archival Mat (NYPD Blue)
A museum-grade conservation matboard offering a deep, authoritative navy presentation. Manufactured by Crescent, this custom-cut, acid-free barrier provides a commanding, institutional elegance—perfect for honoring service memorabilia, official documents, and classical art.
Archival Composition
-
Crescent Select Pedigree Sourced from the industry's most trusted conservation brand, ensuring museum-level reliability for your most valuable pieces.
-
100% Acid-Free & Lignin-Free Engineered with a purified alpha-cellulose core. It will never yellow, become brittle, or cause "acid burn" on your artwork.
-
Bleed & Fade Resistant The rich "NYPD Blue" surface paper is meticulously treated to resist UV fading and color-transfer over decades of display.
-
Pristine White Core Beneath the colored surface lies a brilliant, pure white core that provides a flawless, non-yellowing bevel cut.
Visual Architecture
-
The Authoritative Anchor This deep, formal navy provides immense visual weight and discipline, grounding the artwork and drawing the eye instantly inward.
-
High-Contrast Bevel Our precision 45-degree custom cut exposes the bright white core, creating a striking, crisp "pinstripe" border around your art.
-
Double-Mat Accents Pro tip: Use this navy board as the "bottom mat" beneath a stark white top mat to create a subtle, prestigious pop of inner color.
-
Physical Protection A matboard is structurally necessary to keep works on paper from directly touching the glazing, preventing moisture damage.
Ideal Applications
-
Service & Honor Memorabilia The definitive, respectful choice for framing police badges, military medals, commendations, and official uniforms.
-
Silver & Pewter Frames Pairs flawlessly with cool-toned metallic frames, beautifully echoing the visual of a silver badge on a dark navy uniform.
-
Diplomas & Government Docs Provides a highly professional, institutional aesthetic that instantly elevates the prestige of certifications and degrees.
-
Classic Americana & Nautical Art The perfect deep anchor for historical artifacts, coastal maritime photography, and traditional Americana prints.
