Handcrafted Heritage: The Traditional Mounting Process of SinoInArt

4 Chinese Scroll Mounting, SinoInArt, Juran, Handcrafted Art, Museum Grade Reproduction

The mounting of a Chinese scroll is an art form in itself. At SinoInArt, every replica of Juran’s Casing the Qin and Thinking of the Crane is hand-mounted by artisans with decades of experience. This process is what transforms a print into a piece of fine art.

We use natural adhesives made from wheat starch, which allow the paper and silk to breathe. This is crucial for preventing the wrinkles and bubbles that plague cheap reproductions. Our custom Xuan paper is backed with several layers of thin paper to provide strength and flexibility.

The silk borders are hand-cut and aligned with mathematical precision. We choose silk patterns that are historically accurate to the Song and Ming periods, ensuring that the aesthetic harmony of the piece is maintained from edge to edge.

A key feature of our mounting is the structural tension. Properly mounted scrolls hang perfectly straight, allowing the vertical majesty of Juran’s mountains to be seen without distortion. The wooden rollers provide the necessary weight to keep the scroll taut.

When you buy from SinoInArt, you are buying handcrafted excellence. Our commitment to traditional mounting ensures that your Juran replica is not just a picture, but a masterpiece of construction that honors the traditions of ancient China.
