A Chinese landscape scroll is an architectural feat as much as an artistic one. For our 1:1 reproduction of Zhao Mengfu’s Landscape Scroll, SinoInArt employs traditional mounting techniques that have been refined over a millennium. This process is essential for achieving the authentic literati look.

The mounting process involves several stages of manual backing. Using natural starch paste, the painting is bonded to multiple layers of high-quality paper and silk. This gives the scroll the necessary flexibility and strength to be rolled and unrolled without damaging the ink or the paper fibers.

We select the finest silk brocade for the borders, choosing patterns that were popular during the Yuan and Ming dynasties. This provides a "frame" that doesn't just enclose the art but elevates it. The rhythmic color palette of the silk is chosen to harmonize with the subtle ink tones of Zhao’s landscape.

The wooden rollers at the bottom of the scroll are more than just handles; they provide the gravitational weight needed for the painting to hang perfectly straight. This creates a dignified, formal presence in any room, whether it’s a modern office or a traditional tea room.

SinoInArt’s dedication to traditional mounting is a commitment to the "complete" art experience. We believe that Zhao Mengfu’s work should be enjoyed in its original format, allowing the viewer to experience the ritual of unrolling a masterpiece and discovering its secrets.
