In the world of Chinese art, a painting is not finished until it is mounted. For our 1:1 replica of Travelers Among Streams and Mountains, we employ traditional manual mounting to ensure the highest standards of presentation and preservation.

Manual mounting is a dying art that requires years of training. Our artisans select premium silk for the borders and use natural adhesives to back the customized Xuan paper. This creates a scroll that is both strong and flexible, capable of being rolled and unrolled for generations.

The mounting process also involves a careful "stretching" phase, where the painting is dried on a specialized board to ensure it hangs perfectly flat. This is why SinoInArt’s scrolls look so different from machine-mounted prints, which often bubble or curl.

The aesthetic choice of the mounting is also historically informed. We use silk patterns and colors that harmonize with the Five Dynasties ink tones, providing a frame that is both elegant and authentic to the era.

A SinoInArt replica is a complete work of artisanal skill. From the first ink drop on our custom paper to the final silk border, we honor the traditions that made Dong Yuan’s work world-famous.
