Our Approaches in Moving Your Antiques
- Antique glasses and mirrors: Since they are highly fragile items, we pack each of them with high quality packing materials (packing papers, bubble wraps, etc.), cover with fragile tapes, and place in moving boxes with extra care, avoiding collisions, breakages or any other possible damage.
- Antique furniture: We disassemble each item carefully, wrap them properly and place in moving trucks making sure they don’t collide with each others and protected from shocks while moving.
- Antique books: We pack old books, photo albums, etc. with paper wrappings, cardboards (to make sure that the books’ spine/covers are safe), bubble wraps or balled-up packing papers preventing from scratches or any damage while moving.
- Antique silverware: First, we measure the dimensions of each item to cover them with suitable undyed cotton fabric or acid-free papers. Then they go into moving boxes lined with bubble wraps for a move without any tarnishing.
- Antique clocks: If there is a pendulum, any weight, or removable parts that are prone to break, we unhook and bubble wrap them separately. If not, the entire clock will be bubble wrapped with several layers keeping sufficient paddings, paying extra attention to edges, corners, and glasses.
Our Approaches in Moving Your Artworks
- Paintings or Canvases: We secure the paintings or canvases with cardboards, non-stick papers and sticky tapes, pack them in wrapping papers or in a crate to prevent any risk of damage, and finally place them in right sized moving boxes to prevent shocks.
- Portraits: We use painter’s tapes, paper wrappings, and packing tapes to pack the portraits. Additionally layers of bubble wraps are used to avoid any breakages.
- Sculptures: We use layers of bubble wraps and packing tapes to wrap the sculptures ensuring every inch of it is fully secured. Then they are placed either inside moving boxes of appropriate sizes or moving truck safely to move.
