Auspicious Roe Deer(瑞狍) Qing Dynasty / Giuseppe Castiglione(郎世宁)

The Lost Art of Traditional Mounting

1

At SinoInArt, we believe that the beauty of a Chinese painting is only as good as its mounting. The "Auspicious Roe Deer" 1:1 replica is not simply a print; it is a fully realized hanging scroll, constructed using the traditional mounting craft that has been perfected over a thousand years.

The process begins with our custom Xuan paper, which provides the perfect foundation for our high-resolution pigments. Once the image is captured, it undergoes a complex "wet-mounting" process. Master artisans apply natural starch paste to bond the paper to multiple layers of backing, ensuring the scroll remains flexible yet incredibly strong.

Each scroll is bordered with premium silk damask, chosen to complement the subtle tones of Castiglione’s palette. The traditional mounting requires precision in every cut and fold, creating a frame that is both protective and decorative. This method allows the 1:1 replica to hang straight and flat, avoiding the curling common in modern synthetic alternatives.

The final touch is the solid wood rollers at the bottom of the scroll. These provide the necessary weight for the painting to hang with imperial dignity. This attention to detail reflects SinoInArt’s dedication to preserving the "physicality" of ancient art, making our replicas feel like a living part of the Qing Dynasty.

By choosing a SinoInArt traditionally mounted piece, you are supporting the survival of intangible cultural heritage. Your "Auspicious Roe Deer" will not only be a visual delight but a tactile masterpiece that honors the artisanal spirit of the Forbidden City.
