Our Secure Art Transport Solutions
Packaging:
Our specialized packing teams have developed robust, easy-to-use packaging that guarantees the safety of your items during shipping or at final receipt. We provide a comprehensive range of packaging solutions—customized to meet every need, from straightforward protective wraps to highly intricate, bespoke assemblies—designed to safeguard all types of artworks, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, decorative pieces, and small furniture.
Shock and Vibration Protection:
Our protective boxes are made from triple-reinforced cardboard and lined with foam on all sides to shield your artworks from shocks and vibrations that can occur during the transport process
Protection for Large or Fragile Artworks:
For large sculptures or oversized artworks that exceed our packaging limits, as well as delicate or fragile items such as porcelain, glassware, marble, jade, and similar objects, we assess each case individually. We provide custom wooden crates or other tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of each piece.
Handling and Dedicated Transport:
Trust our premium, all-inclusive “White Glove Collection” service to flawlessly manage every detail ensuring unparalleled care, absolute security, and total peace of mind for your most valuable shipments. Our qualified technicians will begin by personally collecting your artwork directly from its current location. Upon arrival at our secure storage center, each piece is carefully re-measured to confirm its exact dimensions. We then design and craft a custom transport box specifically tailored to the unique size, shape, and fragility of your artwork. This bespoke packaging incorporates high-quality, shock-absorbing materials and reinforced structural elements to provide optimal protection throughout transit. Once securely packed, we coordinate the shipment and closely monitor its progress to ensure your artwork arrives safely and intact at its final destination.
We treat your artwork with unparalleled care at every stage, providing the confidence and peace of mind that only an expert network of reputable and long-standing art shipping partners like ours can offer.
Customized Delivery:
Based on your needs, timeline, and budget, we offer two levels of service:
- Simple Doorstep Delivery: We safely deliver your artwork directly to your specified address.
- Full-Service Installation: In addition to delivery, our team will unpack, hang, and assemble your artwork at the exact location you choose.
This way, you can select the option that best fits your requirements and schedule.
