A Chinese painting is incomplete without its mount. For our 1:1 replica of Liu Songnian’s "Bo Gu Tu," SinoInArt rejects modern, mass-produced frames in favor of traditional scroll mounting. This process is a labor of love that involves multiple stages of sizing, backing, and bordering with fine silk.

The mounting process begins with the "backing," where the custom Xuan paper is reinforced with additional layers of thin paper using a natural starch paste. This gives the artwork the necessary tension to hang perfectly flat. In an age of synthetic glues, our use of natural materials ensures the artwork can breathe and age gracefully.

The selection of silk brocade for the borders is done with historical accuracy in mind. We choose patterns and colors that complement the subtle palette of the Southern Song period. This framing doesn't just protect the art; it enhances the visual narrative of the "Bo Gu Tu," framing the scholarly gathering in an aura of prestige.

Each scroll is finished with a traditional wood roller, providing the weight needed for the scroll to hang elegantly against a wall. The tactile sensation of the silk and the solid feel of the roller add a dimension of quality that is immediately apparent to any collector.

At SinoInArt, we believe that the craftsmanship of the mount is a tribute to the artist’s vision. Our "Bo Gu Tu" replica is a holistic work of art, representing the highest standards of Chinese craftsmanship and heritage preservation.
