Antiques & fine art

Antique and Fine Art Courier

Antiques and artwork often need more care and flexibility than a conventional parcel network can provide. We move them in a dedicated vehicle, with reduced handling, careful wrapping and direct delivery.

Specialist antique transport

Period furniture, veneers, marble tops, glass and gilt frames all react badly to being dropped, stacked or shaken. Our antique transport is built around fewer touch points: we collect, wrap, load and deliver ourselves, without passing your item through a depot.

We work with private collectors, antique dealers, galleries, interior designers and auction buyers, and we understand the paperwork and timing that trade work involves.

  • Dedicated vehicle transport
  • Reduced handling
  • Direct collection and delivery
  • Blanket wrapping and secure strapping
  • Careful loading and positioning
  • Photo confirmation on request

Antique furniture delivery

Chests of drawers, bureaus, longcase clocks, dining sets and cabinets are among the pieces we move most often. Fragile parts such as glass doors, finials and loose shelves are removed and wrapped separately where appropriate.

Fine art and art courier service

We transport framed paintings, prints, mirrors and decorative objects for collectors and galleries. Fine art and particularly high-value pieces are handled by prior agreement, subject to insurance confirmation, so please tell us the declared value when you request a quote.

Frequently asked questions
