A Chinese landscape painting is only complete when it is mounted. For our replica of Fan Kuan’s Autumn Forest and Flying Waterfall, the mounting process is a labor of love, handled by master mounters with decades of experience in traditional Chinese mounting.

The process involves multiple layers of backing paper, applied with natural starch-based adhesives to ensure the custom Xuan paper remains flat yet flexible. This structural integrity is essential for a 1:1 scale replica, preventing wrinkles and warping over decades of display.

We use premium silk brocades for the borders, choosing patterns and colors that reflect the understated elegance of the Northern Song Dynasty. This choice of materials elevates the painting from a mere print to a high-end collectible art object.

The hand-crafted wooden rollers provide the necessary weight to keep the scroll hanging straight, while the silk ribbons add the final touch of classical beauty. It is a piece designed to be unrolled with a sense of ceremony and respect.

When you purchase from SinoInArt, you are supporting a vanishing craft. Our commitment to traditional mounting ensures that Fan Kuan’s masterpiece is presented in the exact cultural context for which it was created.
