If you’re a private collector, artist, or art dealer, you’ll surely need the services of professional artwork shippers from time to time. Fine art travels much and changes owners many times throughout its existence, and safe, careful shipping is the main precondition for prolonging its life. Thus, as soon as you start planning the next shipment for your art belongings, it’s vital to find a team of qualified shippers who can organize the process without risks and problems from pick-up to arrival.
How to Find Professional Artwork Shippers?
The first thing you should keep in mind is that artwork shippers are specialized workers dealing only with works of art. It’s not a good idea to contact a regular shipping company and expect safe and gentle treatment of your art objects, as its employees typically work with a wide variety of shipments and don’t differentiate between them. They will definitely treat freight with the “fragile” label more carefully than other items in the shipment, but you shouldn’t expect too much from them.
Artwork shippers, unlike other shipper categories, are highly qualified in handling fine art objects at all stages of transportation. They can determine the appropriate packaging for your object, conduct its safe and comprehensive packing at your location, and transfer it from point A to point B with due care and regard to its age, dimensions, weight, and material of which it is made. If your artwork sets out on an international trip, our art handlers can build a customized crate and package the object into it for added security in transit. From antique clocks to centuries-old mirrors, they can handle any object safely and reduce the risks of scratches and damage during transportation.
