Sometimes at large exhibitions can be seen paintings with a linen mat

Passepartout - (French passe-partout) - passe-partout or pasting dlyarisunka, engravings, book illustrations, etc.

In normal cases paintings are drawn into a wide frame.
And the use of "mat" in the design of a painting from poverty.
Thin baguette plus "mat" comes up with a broad frame. Sometimes it
decorative, but not technologically not so durable.
