Fine Art and Antiques Shipping

Irreplaceable pieces deserve museum-grade handling.

Paintings, sculptures, antiques, and collectible objects call for a very different approach than a standard move. The smallest oversight can mean irreversible damage, so we apply museum-level packing techniques: custom wood crates, acid-free materials, and, when the piece calls for it, climate control.

Every item is documented, protected, and insured for its true value, so it arrives exactly as it left.

Custom crates and specialty materials

We build wood crates engineered for each piece, with internal padding, corner protection, and anti-vibration systems. For sensitive items we use acid-free materials and, when needed, humidity-controlled packing.

Documentation and specialized insurance

We photograph and document the condition of every piece before packing, and arrange declared-value coverage — ideally backed by an appraisal — suited to fine art and antiques.

Museum-standard handling

The same techniques museums use to move their collections guide our work with art and antiques: gloves, acid-free materials, internal supports that immobilize without pressing, and wood crates built to the exact dimensions of each piece. Nothing touches the surface of the work directly.

For significant collections, we can even arrange climate-controlled conditions in transit, protecting paintings, sculptures, and furniture sensitive to humidity and temperature.

Museum-standard handling

Collectors, galleries, and family estates

We serve the collector relocating a personal collection, the gallery moving an exhibition, and the family inheriting valuable pieces who wants to bring them together in a new home, all with the same standard: every object is irreplaceable and is treated that way.

We also guide you through the administrative side — documentation, appraisal, insurance — so the move of your artwork is as secure legally as it is physically.
