A Chinese painting is not finished until it is mounted. For our replica of Chen Lin’s Wild Duck by a Stream, SinoInArt employs master mounters who follow techniques passed down through generations. This process is essential for preserving the painting and presenting it with dignity.

Traditional mounting involves several layers of paper backing, which gives the custom Xuan paper strength and flexibility. This prevents the painting from wrinkling or warping over time, a common issue with cheap mass-produced posters.

We use natural adhesives and high-quality silk brocades for the borders. The color of the silk is carefully selected to enhance the cool, wintery palette of Chen Lin’s ink, creating a seamless transition from the art to its frame.

The 1:1 scale is strictly maintained. By replicating the exact dimensions of the original scroll in the National Palace Museum, we preserve the spatial relationship intended by the artist between the duck and the empty space of the stream.

This dedication to traditional craftsmanship ensures that your SinoInArt piece is not just a decoration, but a collectible item that honors the heritage of Chinese art conservation.
