A Chinese masterpiece is incomplete without its mounting. For a work as significant as Wu Zhen’s Shanshui Tu, the mounting is not merely a frame—it is a protective and aesthetic extension of the art. At SinoInArt, we employ traditional mounting processes that have remained largely unchanged since the Yuan Dynasty.

The traditional mounting process is a marathon of patience and skill. It involves multiple layers of backing paper, applied with natural starch paste, to provide the scroll with flexibility and strength. This ensures that the scroll hangs perfectly flat on your wall, avoiding the waves and curls common in machine-made reproductions.

Our artisans carefully select silk brocades that harmonize with the monochrome ink tones of Wu Zhen’s landscape. The choice of silk color and pattern is designed to frame the painting without overpowering it, drawing the eye into the serene world of the mountain retreat. Each detail, from the wooden rollers to the silk hanging cords, is chosen with care.

Because we use traditional materials like silk and solid wood, our replicas possess an organic presence. The scroll moves slightly with the air, giving it a living quality that synthetic frames cannot replicate. This is the traditional way art has been enjoyed in East Asia for a millennium, emphasizing a tactile connection to history.

When you purchase a SinoInArt replica, you are supporting a living tradition of craftsmanship. Our traditional mounting ensures that your Shanshui Tu is a museum-grade object that commands respect in any library, study, or gallery. Own a piece of art that respects the past in every fiber.
