The Craft of Moving Antiques and Fine Art Fine art and antiques are important, A&R Removals understands how delicate the procedure is. We acquire the items, take special care of them, and pack them using specialised tools and materials to protect them throughout shipment.

Packing

Fine art and antique packing can be a very dangerous endeavour. We will transport your priceless items safely from the pick-up site to the destination of your choice. We utilise the proper packaging materials since choosing the material to use on different sorts of art is an art form in and of itself. Next evaluate each piece separately and offer recommendations for the best packing for the item. For your goods to be transported safely, our packaging materials would include a bespoke foam mould, wrap, and bracing box.

Framed Fine Art

Even more delicate than other types of art, these pieces will be protected against damage with appropriate packaging materials. These items can be packed in specialised boxes, such as telescope boxes. The boxes typically come in two parts that are attached to create one long box. Instead of plastic wrap, fine art and antiques like mirrors are typically covered with Glassine. Smooth paper that is resistant to both air and water is called glassine. That would keep the expensive artwork or mirror from getting dirty. The use of bubble wrap follows. This is taped together and stacked. This offers additional security and cushioning. Styrofoam or cardboard corner protectors are also used to protect corners.

Antiques

They are not only extremely valuable, but they frequently hold sentimental significance as well, the packaging and transporting process is crucial. Always make sure that your antiques are insured as the first step. This serves as a precaution since, despite one’s best efforts to be safe, damage is always possible. To pack and transfer art properly, you’ll need bubble wrap, packing tape, moving blankets, boxes, and a toolkit. Prior to transportation, any necessary dissembling should also be completed. The secret is to layer bubble wrap and attach it with tape. Moreover, blankets and tape should be used to add another layer of protection.
