How do I hang a painted silk scroll?

Silk scrolls require careful handling to prevent tension damage to the delicate fabric. Use stable wall fixings and avoid hanging them in direct sunlight. Keep the room humidity moderate to protect both the silk support and the surrounding gold leaf frame from warping.

Are pith paintings fragile?

Pith is a delicate plant-based material that responds strongly to moisture and physical pressure. These pieces remain safely preserved behind protective glass. Limit handling strictly to framing professionals and keep the artwork away from areas prone to temperature fluctuations.

What is the difference between gouache and watercolour?

Gouache incorporates a binding agent that makes the paint opaque, allowing lighter colours to sit effectively over darker shades. Watercolours remain translucent and rely on the white of the paper for luminosity. Both mediums appear frequently across nineteenth-century Asian and European works on this page.
