Crescent Launches New Rag Mat Crossroads Collection

The Crescent Rag Mat line has expanded with the introduction of Crescent’s Crossroads Collection - 16 new bold, crisp colors, designed to accentuate both artwork and the setting.
This exciting collection is inspired by exotic colors from all four corners of the globe and reflects coming trends in home decor.
   
“Customers will be looking to this new line for matting that will complement their homes,” said Kate McCarthy, Marketing Vice President of Crescent Cardboard Company, L.L.C. “These stunning colors are really on the forefront of new home decoration trends. With the Crossroads Collection framers will now be better equipped to help customers select matboards that reflect their lifestyles and personalities along with new styles in interior design.”

All 16 colors are offered in 32x40” (81x102cm), and 4 available in 40x60” (102x152cm).  These conservation matboards feature 100% cotton core and backing papers and the colors range from a crystal blue Everest Sky to a rich burgundy Napa Wine.

 

Crescent Cardboard Company is pleased to announce the newest additions to our family of fine matboards. For the Rag Mat line we have added new patterns, new colors, a new ply, and 100% cotton, all-black matboard. We have also added two new patterns and a total of 20 additional products to our Specialty matboard line.
