In the world of Chinese art, the mounting is as important as the painting. A 1:1 replica of Listening to the Qin from SinoInArt is not a mere poster; it is a hand-mounted work of art. Our master craftsmen use techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries to ensure your replica lasts a lifetime.
The process begins with our custom Xuan paper, which is carefully backed with multiple layers of thin paper using natural starch adhesives. This gives the painting the necessary strength and flexibility to hang perfectly straight, preventing the wrinkles and bubbles common in cheap prints.
We select the highest grade of silk for the borders, choosing patterns that reflect the aristocratic taste of the Northern Song court. The color of the silk is carefully balanced to enhance the reds and greens of the officials' robes in Huizong’s composition.
The wooden rollers at the base provide the weight needed to keep the scroll taut, ensuring that the vertical composition of the pine tree and figures is seen without distortion. This attention to structural detail is what makes our pieces "museum-quality."
By choosing SinoInArt, you are supporting a vanishing craft. Our commitment to traditional mounting ensures that the masterpiece is presented exactly as it would have been in the imperial palace, over 900 years ago.
