A Chinese masterpiece is incomplete without its mount. For our 1:1 reproduction of Zhao Mengfu’s Herding Horses, SinoInArt adheres to traditional mounting techniques that have been refined over a millennium. This is not merely "framing"; it is a structural and aesthetic integration of the artwork.
The mounting process involves several layers of backing paper and high-quality silk, bonded with a natural starch paste. This allows the long scroll to be flexible enough to roll but strong enough to hang perfectly flat. This traditional method allows the custom Xuan paper to breathe, preventing the wrinkles often seen in modern replicas.
Our artisans carefully select the silk brocade to complement the painting’s color palette. The contrast between the horses’ forms and the rich silk borders creates a visual frame that draws the eye into the serene landscape. It is a meticulous process that requires patience and a master’s touch.
This mounting style also provides archival protection. The natural materials used in our process are resistant to environmental changes, meaning your Herding Horses will remain a centerpiece of your collection for a lifetime. It is a testament to the structural integrity of ancient Eastern art craftsmanship.
When you display a SinoInArt scroll, you are displaying a commitment to cultural excellence. The traditional mounting adds a layer of sophistication that transforms any room into a private gallery, honoring Zhao Mengfu’s legacy with every detail.
