Packing paintings framed with glass
In the photos below, you can see our team doing a post-sale job at Shapiro Auctions, one of the most reputable and trustworthy auction houses in NYC. We had to pick up 15 valuable paintings, pack and crate them in our warehouse at McDonald Avenue, and prepare them for shipping within a single day. As always, Fine Art Shippers coped with the task promptly and professionally, taking care of every little detail. Quick tip: it is extremely important to use special blue tape for protecting the glass when shipping a framed painting as broken glass can easily damage your artwork if something goes wrong in transit.
