FAQs

Chinese export gouache paintings were created by Canton artists primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries for Western merchants and travellers. These works depicted daily Chinese life, local trades, costumes, flora, and shipping scenes to satisfy European fascination with the Far East.

These paintings were typically executed using opaque gouache pigments on pith paper, derived from the spongy cellular tissue of the Tetrapanax papyrifer plant, or on fine rice paper and silk.

Authentic pith paper paintings exhibit a velvety, textured surface with micro-cellular structure under magnification. Due to the delicate nature of the dried pith material, small splits or hairline cracks near the edges are common indicators of age.

Hang framed sets symmetrically in modern mats and simple dark frames above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or along a hallway to create a clean, curated focal point that bridges traditional history with modern framing.

Store or display pith paper artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and fluctuating temperatures. UV-protective glass and conservation-grade mounting materials are recommended to prevent pigment fading and paper embrittlement.
