What Is a Fillet?
A fillet is a small moulding placed inside a frame or over a mat to enhance the design of the finished piece. Fillets add a sensation of color and texture to works of art because they are more dimensional than mats and add drama by keeping the eye focus on the artwork. Combining mats with fillets is another very popular, creative and versatile way to frame artwork. A design can include a frame and fillet that are the same or different, depending upon the art and the effect desired.
