A Chinese masterpiece like Liu Songnian’s "Xi Ting Ke Hua Tu" is not complete without its traditional mount. At SinoInArt, we treat the mounting process as a sacred art form. Our 1:1 replicas are finished using traditional mounting techniques that have remained virtually unchanged for nearly a millennium.
The process begins with selecting the finest silk brocade for the borders. We choose patterns that are historically appropriate for the Southern Song period, ensuring that the frame complements rather than distracts from the landscape. The colors of the silk are chosen to enhance the cool greens and earthy browns of the "Xi Ting Ke Hua Tu."
Our master mounters use natural starch paste instead of chemical adhesives. This allows the paper and silk to move together, preventing the warping and bubbling that often ruins modern reproductions. This flexibility is what allows a hanging scroll to roll smoothly and hang perfectly flat against your wall.
The inclusion of a solid wood roller at the bottom of the scroll provides the necessary weight for an elegant drape. This tactile element—the feeling of the silk and the weight of the wood—is a vital part of the sensory experience of Chinese art. It connects the viewer to the traditional aesthetics of the literati.
By opting for a SinoInArt traditionally mounted replica, you are not just buying a print; you are acquiring a handcrafted object of beauty. Our "Xi Ting Ke Hua Tu" is a testament to the enduring power of Chinese craftsmanship, designed to be the centerpiece of any sophisticated collection.
