The mounting of a Chinese painting is as important as the painting itself. It provides the "skeleton" that allows the artwork to be unrolled and displayed with grace. At SinoInArt, our 1:1 replica of Wu Zhen’s Fishermen is hand-mounted using techniques that have remained unchanged for a millennium.

Our master mounters use natural starch paste and several layers of backing paper to ensure the scroll is flexible yet strong. This process allows the painting to hang perfectly flat without curling, a common problem with machine-mounted reproductions.

We select the finest silk for our borders, choosing patterns and colors that harmonize with Wu Zhen’s monochrome ink tones. The silk not only protects the edges of the Xuan paper but also provides a luxurious "frame" that enhances the scholarly aesthetic of the work.

The weight of the solid wood rollers at the bottom of the scroll is calibrated to provide the perfect tension. This allows the Fishermen landscape to "breathe" and settle into its environment, creating a sense of weight and importance in any room.

By choosing a hand-mounted replica from SinoInArt, you are supporting the continuation of a traditional craft. Our scrolls are not mass-produced; they are handcrafted tributes to the "Spirit of China," ensuring that Wu Zhen’s legacy is preserved in its most authentic form.
