FAQs

Originating during the nineteenth-century Canton export trade, pith paintings were souvenir artworks created on cellular tissue from the Tetrapanax papyrifer plant, depicting Chinese life, costume, and customs for Western trade.

Artists used opaque gouache watercolours applied directly onto thin slices of plant pith, which absorbed pigment deeply to produce a textured, translucent effect.

Authentic pieces frequently exhibit fine micro-fractures due to the brittle botanical substrate, hand-applied vibrant gouache pigments, and traditional Qing dynasty subject matter.

Group framed pith paintings together in a gallery wall formation to bring historical depth and intricate detail to corridors, staircases, or above modern cabinetry.

Keep pith artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, ensuring items are mounted behind UV-protective glass using acid-free matting.
