Fine Artwork Antiques

Custom Crating
Depending on the nature and size of the items, our custom crating resources will make sure to have the right supplies of materials.

If you have large mirrors and paintings, we have special picture boxes and packaging that will protect the framed artwork. We also use corner protectors to cushion the artwork in the box and also to avert damage to the frame corners. To pack sculptures, we use standard packing materials like bubble wrap and packing peanuts.

Protecting Glass Frames
When packing your framed artwork or mirror, our crating teams makes use of masking tape over the glass in two X-shaped stripes, to protect the picture if the glass shatters. After taping the picture, put the corner protectors before wrapping the entire frame with bubble wrap and packing paper. Place the item carefully into the box.

Protecting the Paint
If your painting is not protected by glass, we will take extra precautions to protect the surface because a bubble wrap is made from plastic and the material can stick or react to the paint. Note that print ink can also react to the painting and it can ruin the colors. As an extra precaution, tape cardboard sheets over the bubble wrap.

We make sure that the items are packed in appropriately sized boxes. Stuff the spaces in the box to secure the artwork and mark the box as “Fragile.” With the tips, you can secure the safety of your paintings and antiques during the move.
