A Chinese landscape painting is not complete until it is mounted. For our 1:1 reproduction of Zhao Mengfu’s Wanliu Hall, SinoInArt adheres to traditional mounting crafts that have remained unchanged for over a thousand years. This process is essential for both the aesthetic appeal and the long-term preservation of the art.

The mounting process begins with the "backing" of the custom Xuan paper. Our craftsmen apply several layers of thin paper using a natural starch paste, which strengthens the painting and allows it to be rolled and unrolled without damage. This requires a master’s touch to ensure there are no wrinkles or air bubbles.

Next, we select the finest silk brocade for the borders. The color and pattern of the silk are chosen to harmonize with the soft greens and browns of the Wanliu Hall. This traditional frame doesn't just enclose the art; it enhances its narrative, leading the eye into the serene world of the scholar's garden.

Traditional mounting also allows the artwork to "breathe." Unlike modern framing behind glass, a hand-mounted scroll can expand and contract with natural changes in humidity. This prevents the paper from becoming brittle and ensures that the Wanliu Hall will hang straight and true for a lifetime.

At SinoInArt, we believe that the frame should be as authentic as the painting. Our dedication to traditional craftsmanship ensures that your reproduction is a functional piece of art history, reflecting the same standards of quality found in the world’s leading museums.
