Chinese painting/archeology
相比于之後的北宋宣和裝，兩幅畫的裝裱只具備天頭、畫心、地腳的基本格式，天杆、地軸用竹竿製作，天頭絹反包天杆，剩餘的作為畫的包首，掛畫的絲繩系在天杆之上；畫心兩側既未套邊，又未鑲邊；地腳的畫軸亦為絹所包卷。天頭與畫心、畫心與地腳間既無隔水，更無錦牙，天頭與地腳的比例約為2:1，不同於後世流行的天頭地腳符合黃金分割律的3:2的比例，天頭上無驚燕帶。整幅畫均用一色絹裝裱，顯得很簡易，與北宋宣和裝不可同日而語，從中可以看出當時民間書畫裝裱藝術的特點和水準。
The two paintings cannot be mentioned in the same breath i.e. one if far better quality than the other?
Or they are 'not of the same era'?

cannot be compared to
我想应该是 “不可同日而语”。
原文：與北宋宣和裝不可同日而語，從中可以看出當時民間書畫裝裱藝術的特點和水準。
不可同日而語形容不能相提并论，不能相比。这个成语来源于《战国策·赵策二》：“夫破人之与破于人也，臣人之与臣于人也，岂可同日而言之哉。” － http://baike.baidu.com/view/42931.htm
建议英文用 cannot be compared to。
