FAQs

Traditional Chinese painting on silk dates back centuries, evolving from court art into a refined medium for depicting nature, flora, and fauna with delicate ink and watercolour techniques.

Authentic pieces are generally executed on woven silk fabrics using natural mineral and vegetable watercolours, often accompanied by traditional ink calligraphy and vermilion red artist seals.

Authenticity is determined by examining the natural ageing of the silk substrate, the quality of the brushwork, traditional mounting styles, and the integration of genuine ink pigments rather than modern prints.

Pair the delicate artwork with a minimalist, neutral frame and hang it in a quiet zone to highlight its texture and historical character without overwhelming modern minimalist spaces.

Protect silk artwork from direct sunlight, high humidity, and fluctuating temperatures by framing it behind UV-filtered glass and keeping it in a climate-controlled environment.
