How should I hang a silk painting?

Protect silk artworks from direct sunlight to prevent the fading of delicate watercolours and mineral pigments. Maintain stable humidity levels in the room to preserve the integrity of both the textile ground and any original timber frame.

Are these paintings original works?

The pieces recorded in the evidence comprise hand-painted watercolours, inks, and gouache studies on silk. Signatures, stamps, and brushwork indicate individual artistic execution rather than mechanical reproduction. Examinations of the textile weave and pigment application help confirm the period of creation.

What subjects are most common?

Common subjects include natural studies of birds, blossoms, butterflies, peonies, and koi carp. Figure subjects encompass Daoist immortals, weavers, and formal ancestor portraits. Landscape traditions also appear through mountain and water compositions.

How do I identify a scroll from a framed painting?

Scroll paintings are constructed on flexible mountings intended to be rolled up when not on display, featuring wooden rollers at the base. Framed paintings utilise rigid wooden surrounds and glass. Both formats utilise silk as the primary painting surface.
