Fine Art And Antiques Removals Service Dublin
Your artwork, sculptures, antiques and collectibles are more than items you own; they are assets, heirlooms and a part of history. Moving them requires care that goes far beyond standard removals.
Our Fine Art & Antiques Removals service Dublin is backed by three decades of experience in the field. We are a certified member of I.A.M. (International Association of Movers) and we work with many Governmental organizations, galleries, auction houses, private individuals and collectors all through Ireland.
Why Fine Art And Antiques Need Specialist Handling
Standard removal companies move furniture and boxes. Fine art and antiques demand a completely different approach.
Oil paintings, works on paper, ceramics, glass and gilded frames are vulnerable to vibration, temperature changes and humidity. A single knock can cause irreparable damage. Unlike a sofa or a television, a damaged antique cannot simply be replaced.
Every piece is also different. A large oil on canvas needs a different crating method than a porcelain vase or a grandfather clock. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, and high-value items require full condition reports, professional packing records and comprehensive transit insurance.
What Our Service Includes
Condition report and inventory: Condition reports of your items are provided using photos and comments. You get an entire inventory of your possessions.
Custom crates and packaging: Custom wooden crates are used to pack paintings and sculptures. For other, more fragile items, museum-quality wraps are used along with acid-free paper and foam.
Specialist handling: Our team is trained in art handling techniques. Gloves are worn at all times. Paintings are carried vertically, never flat.
Climate-conscious transport: Our vehicles protect against temperature fluctuations, vibration and moisture during transit.
International shipping and customs: We manage export documentation, customs clearance and international transit to the USA, Australia, Europe and beyond.
Secure storage: Our Blanchardstown facility offers secure, monitored storage for high-value items.
Full insurance: Comprehensive goods in transit insurance is available for fine art and antiques.
Delivery and installation: We deliver to your destination and can position or hang pieces according to your instructions.
