Transporting a work of art is not merely about shipping it from point A to point B.
It is about ensuring its security, preserving its integrity, and offering a service that meets the expectations of the most demanding professionals and collectors.

At Moviiu, our ambition is to simplify and sharpen fine art logistics. Our standard solution is based on a practical and flexible system: we prepare and ship custom measured transport packaging directly to the sender’s address, allowing them to place the artwork inside and schedule a pickup with one of our international logistics partners.

However, we know that a number of clients in Switzerland expect an even more comprehensive and personalised level of service. To meet this demand, we offer our White Glove Service, designed for those who wish to entrust the entire process, from preparation and collection of their artworks, to the Moviiu specialists.

What is a White Glove Service for Fine Art Transport in Switzerland?

The White Glove Service represents the highest standard in fine art transport. More than a simple logistics solution, it offers full, hands-on care by specialized professionals who oversee every stage of the journey—from the artwork’s place of storage to its final destination.

Unlike standard transport, the White Glove Service includes expert handling, professional on-site packing, and strict compliance with handling protocols specific to fragile or high-value artworks. In Switzerland, where requirements in terms of quality, security, and traceability are particularly high, this type of service is the benchmark for players in the art market.

Expert, Effortless Handling

Moviiu’s White Glove Service in Switzerland is developed on the expertise of our partners at Veron, our local affiliate recognised for its mastery of fine art transport. Thanks to this partnership, we offer on-site collection carried out by trained and experienced handlers.

There is no need to manage the packing or supervise the direction: the team comes directly to your address, handles the artwork diligently, and carries out professional packing directly on site. The artwork is then transported to our warehouse to be placed in a custom Moviiu packaging, before being entrusted to one of our partners such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL Express for final delivery.

The Steps of Moviiu’s White Glove Service in Switzerland

To guarantee a consistent level of quality, Moviiu’s White Glove Service is based on a structured and controlled process, designed to limit handling and reduce risks at every stage.

• Organisation of on-site collection, according to the constraints of the artwork and its environment
• Specialised handling by teams trained in fine art transport
• Professional packing and top-tier protection carried out directly on site
• Secure transport to the Moviiu warehouse
• Custom packaging, compliant with fine art transport standards
• Handover of the artwork to an international carrier for final delivery

This process ensures perfect continuity between the collection phase, packing, and shipment, while respecting the requirements specific to the Swiss market.
