FAQs

Pith paper paintings are export artworks created during the Qing Dynasty, primarily in Canton, designed as souvenirs for Western travellers and merchants.

These works were executed using gouache or watercolour on translucent sheets cut from the inner pith of the Tetrapanax papyrifer shrub, commonly misnamed rice paper.

Authentic pieces feature a cellular, slightly velvety texture, fine hand-painted gouache detail, and characteristic age-related edge splits or foxing due to the fragile nature of the material.

These historical studies pair well with dark wood joinery, traditional gallery walls, or minimalist framing to highlight the vivid pigments and natural history themes.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, using acid-free mounting materials and UV-filtering glass to prevent deterioration.
