Art of Moving Antiques

We appreciate the finer things

Priceless service
We are often asked how we handle, pack and wrap priceless items such as works of art, furniture and collectibles. The simple answer... we apply The Art of Moving™.

Antiques are special to galleries, retailers and private owners for many reasons. They are either rare, valuable, historical or they have acquired a special sentimental place in your life. To a moving company like Premiere, moving and shipping antiques is special because they are often more fragile than other items. Antiques need to be shipped and handled differently. Regardless, if their worth is resale value or sentimental, your antiques will always receive our highest level of special care and attention.

First, we identify your antique's sensitivity to being handled. Our consultation services can then determine the appropriate method of handling, packing and casing (if needed) as well as best method for forwarding the item to its final destination. We may also coordinate with the destination handlers to maintain shipping consistency and ensure our high standards of care and attention are upheld.

One of Premiere's specialties is to act as a hand courier for transportation of your antiques. We respect the level of trust required to place prized possessions in the hands of someone else. As professionals, we reinforce your trust in us by delivering on our promise to move your antiques as if they were our own.

For maximum protection, galleries, auction houses, private owners and museum curators can take advantage of our safe and secure storage vaults. Protected by stringent security with 24-hour camera control systems, your antiques are safe and you are ensured privacy.

When moving and shipping glassware, Premiere offers specialist crates with protective coverings and polystyrene blow chips to ensure glassware is safe and secure. To avoid tarnishing of precious metals, we utilize acid free tissue that is safe for long-term exposure and protection.
