A Chinese landscape painting is not complete until it is mounted. The mounting is the "clothing" of the painting, providing both protection and aesthetic framing. SinoInArt takes great pride in using traditional mounting techniques for our 1:1 replica of Wang Meng’s "Autumn Forests and Myriad Valleys."
Unlike mass-produced frames, traditional mounting involves a multi-step process of backing the painting with additional layers of paper. This is done by hand using a specialized wheat starch paste. This process requires years of training to ensure that the painting remains flat and free of wrinkles once it is hung.
We use premium silk brocade for the borders, choosing patterns and colors that complement the muted, autumnal tones of Wang Meng’s work. This creates a harmonious visual transition from the art to the wall. The proportions of the top and bottom sections (the "Heaven" and "Earth") are strictly followed according to historical standards.
One of the greatest benefits of traditional mounting is its reversibility. A hand-mounted scroll can be "remounted" in the future if needed, a feature that is essential for long-term preservation. This makes our replicas a sustainable choice for serious art enthusiasts.
When you hang a SinoInArt scroll, you are witnessing a craft that has remained largely unchanged for a millennium. The weight of the wooden rollers at the bottom allows the scroll to hang with a graceful tension, transforming any space into a gallery of classical elegance.
