A Chinese painting is not complete until it is mounted. For a work as significant as Li Cheng’s "Fisherman’s Boats on an Autumn River," the mounting must be as masterful as the painting itself. At SinoInArt, we pride ourselves on using traditional mounting crafts that have remained unchanged for centuries.

The process begins with the "backing" of the custom Xuan paper with additional layers of paper for strength. This requires a perfectly balanced natural starch paste—too much, and the scroll becomes stiff; too little, and it will peel. Our master mounters have decades of experience in achieving this delicate balance.

Next comes the silk brocade. We select silk patterns that are historically appropriate for the Northern Song style. The silk isn't just a frame; it provides the structural weight necessary for the scroll to hang flat against the wall. This is a hallmark of a true high-end replica from SinoInArt.

Because we use these traditional mounting techniques, our replicas are not just static images; they are durable, flexible artifacts. They can be rolled and stored or hung and displayed for generations. This longevity is a core part of the value we provide to collectors and art lovers.

When you purchase from SinoInArt, you are supporting the continuation of these ancient crafts. We believe that a Li Cheng replica deserves nothing less than the finest traditional craftsmanship, ensuring that the "Fisherman’s Boats" continue to sail through history in your home.
