In the world of Chinese art, the mounting is as much a part of the artwork as the painting itself. For our 1:1 replica of Xia Gui’s Landscape, SinoInArt provides authentic, traditional manual mounting to ensure the work is presented with the dignity and cultural context it deserves.

Manual mounting is a dying art that involves dozens of steps, including the preparation of natural starch paste and the selection of premium silk borders. This creates a scroll that is both strong and flexible, capable of being rolled and unrolled for decades without damage. Unlike modern machine-mounting, our process allows the paper and silk to move together, preventing warping.

The choice of silk is carefully matched to the ink tones of the Southern Song. This creates a harmonious visual frame that focuses the eye on the majesty of Xia Gui’s peaks and mists. The weight of the wooden rollers ensures the scroll hangs perfectly straight, creating a prestigious presence on any wall, from traditional tea rooms to modern boardrooms.

This mounting protects the customized Xuan paper from environmental stressors, acting as a structural skeleton for the delicate artwork. It allows the painting to be "read" in the traditional manner, unfolding the landscape slowly and engaging with the rhythmic flow of the ink.

Invest in a work of complete craftsmanship. Our traditional manual mounting ensures that your Xia Gui replica is a "finished" object of high culture, ready to be displayed as a centerpiece or handed down as a family heirloom.
