TRADITIONAL CHINESE SCROLL MOUNTING OF
CHINESE PAINTINGS OR CALLIGRAPHY
We most likely need to see the artwork/s,
to be able to quote price rates before any work is started. Sometimes
the piece is unsuitable for Traditional Chinese mounting if non-Chinese
watercolour methods are used to paint the work. Please describe
by email any job you
might like mounted, and we will answer any queries, before you
forward the piece/s to us. A deposit of 50% of the quoted price
will apply, before the work is done. These services are done through
Wills Quills using the following specifications:

1.
TRADITIONAL CHINESE SCROLL MOUNTING As the width of the painting/calligraphy is the deciding factor in our price/costing, (the finished height of the scroll is always a set percentage of the width), for the price rates, we need to assess the work before accurately quoting the cost. |

2. TRADITIONAL
MOUNTING for FRAMING This also uses an plain or embossed silk border, (you can choose your own silk colours or the judgement of our specialist), we use an adjustable pricing method according to the size of the picture. There are no end wooden dowels or hanging cords on this mounting, just flat work. For the price rates, we need to assess the work before accurately quoting the cost. |

REPAIR AND CONSERVATION OF CHINESE / JAPANESE
SCROLLS AND ARTWORK
We also offer
a conservation and repair service for Chinese/Japanese scroll
artwork. Regardless of age or condition, scrolls and their artwork
can be repaired, restoring them to as new condition in most cases.
The costs can be expensive for this kind of work as a great deal
of time and labour is needed to complete the work. Pricing for
these items is therefore quoted for each particular job. The painting
work itself can be re-done by artists experienced in this kind
of work. Examples of unrepaired scrolls and artwork, as well as
completely repaired scrolls and artwork follows;
Picture 1 & 2 are un-repaired scrolls - Picture 3 is a restored
& remounted scroll.
