Mounting a Chinese Painting: Cold Mounting vs. Heat Mounting All of our Chinese ink paintings are cold-mounted by hand. Recently many mounting shops and painting dealers based in China are now heat-mounting their paintings. Using direct or even indirect heat on any paper will damage the papers structure over the long-term. Cold-Mounting a painting takes 24-48 hours depending on humidity levels where as the heat-mounting process is instantaneous yet can damage the painting.

Very few of our paintings are mounted in the scroll format. The scroll format should only be used for the storage of a painting and we highly suggest framing it behind glass or acrylic to prevent it from damage. Please see the below section Displaying a Painting - Scroll vs. Framing for more info about displaying your painting.
