In the tradition of Chinese art, a painting is not complete until it is mounted. For Ma Lin’s "Hibiscus at Sunrise," the mounting provides the "skeleton" that allows the artwork to shine. SinoInArt employs master mounters who follow the ancient "Biao Hua" standards to finish every 1:1 replica.

This process involves multiple stages of backing the Xuan paper with natural starch-based adhesives and additional paper layers. This ensures that the scroll remains flexible enough to be rolled and flat enough to hang perfectly. This traditional method allows the artwork to age gracefully, moving with changes in humidity.

We use premium silk borders, specifically chosen to complement the soft color palette of Ma Lin’s flower. The silk provides a luxurious frame that reflects the imperial court origins of the work. The wooden rollers at the bottom provide the necessary weight to ensure a smooth hang.

Traditional mounting also adds to the collectible value of the piece. It signifies a respect for the cultural roots of the artwork. Unlike mass-produced frames that feel disconnected from the art, our scrolls are an extension of the hibiscus itself.

When you unroll a Ma Lin replica from SinoInArt, you are participating in a ritual that has lasted for over a thousand years. Our commitment to traditional mounting ensures that you are holding a piece of handcrafted heritage in your hands.
