A customer brought in a religious icon that has been in her family since the 1700's. It is a stunning piece, measuring approx. 5" x 7" with painted surfaces covered by a brass overlay. The "halo" around the Madonna and child are raised cloisonne surfaces (approx 3/4" above the flat surface). We chose a stacked frame and UV glass but I'm unsure of the best method to keep the glass off the piece.
If I line the rabbet of the frame with rag mat (like a shadowbox), how do I adhere the mat to the sides while still adhering to strict conservation standards? Any thoughts?
Thank you!
