A Chinese painting is not truly "finished" until it is mounted. For Xu Xi’s Jade Hall’s Wealth and Nobility, the mounting is the frame that defines its imperial character. SinoInArt employs master mounters who use traditional techniques to ensure that every 1:1 replica is a work of structural art.

The mounting process involves multiple layers of backing paper and fine silk. At SinoInArt, we select premium silk fabrics with patterns that reflect the aesthetic of the Southern Tang court. This provides a contextual frame that elevates the painting, turning a 1:1 print into a museum-quality hanging scroll.

One of the key benefits of traditional mounting is the use of natural materials. We use specialized starch pastes that allow the paper and silk to expand and contract with environmental changes. This prevents the "warping" often seen in modern frames, ensuring that your Xu Xi replica hangs perfectly straight on your wall for decades.

The weight and balance of the scroll are provided by solid wood rollers. These rollers allow the scroll to hang with a natural tension, which is essential for appreciating the vertical composition of the peonies and magnolias. The tactile experience of unrolling a SinoInArt scroll is a ritual that connects the collector to the scholarly traditions of ancient China.

When you purchase a replica from SinoInArt, you are supporting a dying craft. Our commitment to traditional mounting ensures that the legacy of Xu Xi is preserved not just in image, but in form and spirit.
