A Chinese landscape painting is incomplete without its mounting. At SinoInArt, the mounting of Ma Yuan’s Snow Landscape is treated as an art form in itself. We employ master mounters who follow the "Biao Hua" (mounting) standards that have been passed down since the Song Dynasty.
The process begins with "backing" the custom Xuan paper with multiple layers of thin paper to provide strength and flexibility. This is done by hand using natural adhesives. This ensures that the 1:1 replica can be rolled and unrolled thousands of times without the risk of cracking or wrinkling.
We use only the finest silk for the borders. For the Snow Landscape, we select silk tones that complement the cool, wintry palette of the work—silvery grays and muted creams. This creates a harmonious transition from the art to the wall, turning the scroll into a complete decorative object.
Traditional mounting also features the use of solid wood for the hanging rod and the bottom roller. This adds the necessary weight to the scroll, ensuring it hangs straight and majestically on your wall. The tactile luxury of the silk and wood is a hallmark of the SinoInArt brand.
By choosing a traditionally mounted replica from SinoInArt, you are supporting a heritage craft. You are receiving a piece of art that is as much about the craftsmanship of the scroll as it is about the genius of Ma Yuan’s brushwork.
