FAQs

Painting on silk is an ancient artistic tradition originating in Asia, widely utilised for miniature works, scrolls, and decorative wall hangings due to the fabrics smooth texture and ability to hold vibrant pigments.

These artworks typically utilise fine natural silk fabric as a base, stretched over a rigid support, and painted using mineral pigments, gouache, or specialised dyes, often finished with wooden frames and protective glass.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weave of the fabric under magnification, the ageing characteristics of the pigments, hand-painted details rather than printed patterns, and the construction methods of the backing and framing.

Pairing framed textile artworks with neutral walls allows the intricate details and historical character to stand out, creating a focal point in a living room, hallway, or study.

Silk art should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and textile degradation, and maintained in stable indoor humidity conditions behind UV-protective glass.
