More than a Print: The Art of Traditional Mounting at SinoInArt

In Chinese art, the mounting is the "soul" of the painting. A masterpiece like Wang Meng’s Autumn Mountains and Thatched Cottage was never meant to be behind glass. It was meant to be a flexible, tactile hanging scroll. At SinoInArt, we preserve this tradition.

Our traditional mounting process is entirely manual. It involves backing the custom Xuan paper with several layers of thin paper for strength and then framing it with premium silk. This allows the scroll to hang perfectly straight without curling or warping.

This mounting style also protects the artwork. The flexibility of the scroll means it can be rolled up for storage, protecting it from dust and light. This is how the original Yuan Dynasty works have survived for centuries, and we provide that same longevity for our replicas.

The choice of silk is critical. We use colors and patterns that reflect the scholarly taste of the 14th century, ensuring the mount enhances rather than distracts from Wang Meng’s intricate brushwork.

When you purchase a SinoInArt replica, you are purchasing a complete work of craftsmanship. From the custom paper to the hand-applied silk, our Autumn Mountains and Thatched Cottage is a masterpiece of traditional art.
