Art and antiques require specialized moving techniques to ensure they are transported safely from one location to another.
Often, pieces of art and antiques are irreplaceable, and this explains part of their value. A breakage, a dirty spot, or even exposure to daylight can be fatal for an artwork or antique item.
The kinds of artworks and antique objects we move vary from chandeliers, antique furniture, marble statues, to portraits, vases, mirrors, and much more.
In this article, you will learn how we ensure the safe transportation of your artworks and antiques with our specialized moving service.

1 Expert Packing of Your Artworks and Antiques
Art and antiques require expert packing, which starts with using only the highest-quality packing and moving materials.
We utilize specialized boxes and crates for each type of item, along with specialized moving blankets for added protection.
Our staff will place the items in the correct location at your new address and unpack and dispose of the packing materials, as per your instructions.
2 Specialized Staff
We only work with employees, not contractors, and we conduct thorough background checks for all of our employees.
They receive extensive training and learn to work as a team, which is essential when handling valuables.
When it comes to moving artworks and antiques, we let our specialized movers handle the move. It requires more experience, care, knowledge, and technique to do it safely and correctly than a regular move.
This way, we ensure the items will arrive in the same condition at the new location.
3 Photo Inventory
We create a packing list with photos, so we all stay on track during the moving process.
Once the list is complete with numbers, details of the object, specific instructions for the move, and photos, we will send it to you.
You can also use this list at the new location, and it is essential for insurance purposes.
4 Custom-made wood crates
Some artworks or antique objects require custom wood crates for protection, particularly when they are large. We make sure the crates are built in the correct dimensions and are ready in time. The wood crates work well because the object can be safely placed inside with other materials to ensure safe transportation.
5 Safe vehicles
A safe vehicle and an experienced driver are crucial when handling delicate items. Our Mercedes trucks are clean and well-maintained, and our drivers are skilled in operating them effectively.
All items are thoroughly checked before delivery to ensure they reach the new location in the same condition.
We take care of the route and keep you posted via GPS.
6 Insurance
Last but not least: insurance. It’s essential to know that our insurance covers all your artworks and antiques during the move.
Don’t hesitate to ask us for our insurance papers: we are happy to show them to you.
Our insurance covers 100% of the valuables.
When we discuss the move, we review this aspect of the move with you to ensure there is no misunderstanding about coverage.
