Mount makers in Britain still seem to be using a lot of plexi rather than the brass mounts we've switched to. One mountmaker I talked to told me the Fitzwilliam was thinking of switching to brass. The plexi works well for some things (I like the ring mount) but overall I prefer the less obtrusive painted metal.
Some things I saw while in England in September '07 that may be of interest to others here at the Museum
