Fine art moving goes beyond the basic logistics. It’s a specialized field that demands meticulous planning, precise handling, and unrivaled expertise.

How do we move works of art:
- Preparation — the key to secure fine art moving. Proper preparation is the cornerstone of stress-free and secure fine art moving. Every item should be meticulously inspected and assessed before packing. This allows us to plan for appropriate packaging materials, customized crating, and the optimal transportation conditions.
- Packaging — the shield of fine art moving. After preparation, the next crucial step is packaging. Each artwork requires a tailored packaging approach to ensure optimal protection. High-quality materials, such as acid-free tissue paper, bubble wrap, and specialized crates, are used to safeguard the artwork from potential hazards. We utilize acid-free materials, high-quality cushioning, and bespoke crates to ensure your artwork is adequately shielded during the transit. Our special movers are trained in innovative packaging techniques to protect the most delicate and precious art pieces.
- Climate-Controlled Environments. Artworks are susceptible to temperature and humidity changes. During transportation, exposure to extreme environmental conditions can lead to irreversible damages. Our fine art movers maintain climate-controlled environments, preserving the art’s condition throughout the journey.

Typically, the cheapest days for moving fine art are weekdays, particularly in the middle of the month when demand is lower.
