In the world of high-end art reproduction, the mounting is as important as the image itself. At SinoInArt, our 1:1 replica of Reading in Mount Lu is finished using traditional hand-mounting techniques that have remained unchanged for over a thousand years. This process is the key to achieving true museum quality.
Hand-mounting involves multiple layers of thin backing paper, applied with natural starch paste. This gives the scroll its flexibility and strength, allowing it to hang perfectly flat without curling. Unlike modern machine-mounted prints, our scrolls are designed to be rolled and unrolled for generations without damage.
We select the finest silk brocades for the borders, choosing colors that enhance the monochrome ink of Xu Ben’s landscape. The silk provides a sophisticated frame that elevates the painting, making it a centerpiece in any home or gallery.
Every step of the mounting process is done by hand by master craftsmen. From the selection of the solid wood rollers to the precise trimming of the edges, our artisans ensure that the scroll feels substantial and authentic in every way.
A SinoInArt replica is a complete cultural object. By combining Xu Ben’s brilliant composition with our traditional mounting, we deliver a product that is not only a visual masterpiece but also a triumph of traditional Chinese craftsmanship.
