In the world of Chinese art, the mounting is as much a part of the artwork as the painting itself. For our 1:1 replica of Xia Gui’s Landscape, SinoInArt provides authentic, traditional manual mounting to ensure the work is presented with the dignity it deserves.

Manual mounting is a dying art that involves dozens of steps, including the preparation of natural starch paste and the selection of premium silk borders. This creates a scroll that is both strong and flexible, capable of being rolled and unrolled for decades without damage.

The choice of silk is carefully matched to the ink tones of the Southern Song. This creates a harmonious visual frame that focuses the eye on the majesty of Xia Gui’s peaks and mists. The weight of the wooden rollers ensures the scroll hangs perfectly straight, creating a prestigious presence on any wall.

This mounting protects the customized Xuan paper from environmental stressors, acting as a structural skeleton for the delicate artwork. Unlike machine-made mounts, our traditional process ensures that the scroll remains a living, breathing object of art.

Invest in a work of complete craftsmanship. Our traditional manual mounting ensures that your Xia Gui replica is a "finished" object of high culture, ready to be handed down as a family heirloom.
