A masterpiece like Li Cheng’s "Qingchao Yipin Tu" deserves more than a simple frame. In the East, the mounting of a painting is considered as important as the painting itself. At SinoInArt, every 1:1 replica is finished using traditional mounting techniques, a labor-intensive process that ensures both beauty and longevity.

The process begins with our custom Xuan paper being reinforced through a "wet mounting" method. Using a natural starch paste, our artisans bond the painting to a secondary layer of paper. This requires immense skill to avoid wrinkles, especially for a large-scale work like the "First Rank" pines.

Once the painting is reinforced, it is framed with high-quality silk brocade. This silk isn't just decorative; it provides the flexible tension needed for the scroll to roll and unroll without damaging the artwork. The weight of the wooden rollers at the bottom ensures the scroll hangs flat and majestic on your wall.

Unlike modern adhesive-based framing, traditional mounting allows the artwork to "breathe." This prevents the paper from becoming brittle or yellowing over time. It is the same method used by the Forbidden City’s restorers to preserve imperial treasures for centuries.

When you purchase a SinoInArt replica, you are purchasing a handcrafted artifact. The combination of Li Cheng’s genius and our traditional craftsmanship creates a piece that is built to last. It is a heritage piece that can be passed down as a family heirloom.
