Re: Very fragile Chinese silk fixing
First off, is this a decorative piece or something that has to be preserved (conservation framing)?
Second, an air gap between the art and the glass is essential for conservation framing.
Third, non-buffered alpha cellulose or better boards should be used for organic materials such as silk.
I would not attempt to use any adhesives to attach the silk to the signed paper backing. The signature can be encapsulated and placed in a second cutout of a mat (mount) or on the verso side of the frame package.
