Mounting a Chinese painting is an art form in itself. At SinoInArt, every 1:1 replica of Yun Shouping’s Red Lotus and Green Algae undergoes a traditional mounting process that involves over a dozen manual steps. This ensures that the artwork is not only beautiful but also structurally sound.
Our mounters use natural starch and multi-layered backing paper to provide the scroll with its signature flexibility. This allows the artwork to be rolled and unrolled without cracking the pigment. Unlike modern adhesives, our traditional methods are reversible and archival, meeting the highest standards of art preservation.
The choice of silk borders is equally critical. We select premium patterned silks that complement the cinnabar reds and malachite greens of Yun Shouping’s palette. This "frame" isn't just decorative; it provides the weight and tension necessary for the scroll to hang perfectly flat against your wall.
A traditionally mounted scroll from SinoInArt feels "alive." It responds to the humidity and atmosphere of its environment, just as the original scrolls did in the scholars' studios of the 17th century. This adds a layer of historical authenticity that is missing from modern framed prints.
When you purchase from SinoInArt, you are supporting the continuation of ancient crafts. Our mounters are highly skilled artisans dedicated to ensuring that Yun Shouping’s vision is presented in its most traditional and elegant form.
