Step 1: Custom Collection Assessment
We start by reviewing your paintings, sculptures, pottery, and any additional artwork in your collection. Each piece’s condition and construction are examined to determine the safest way to pack and transport it. This ensures your entire collection receives the proper attention and protection it needs.

We use the same packing process that professional museum conservators use, with custom crates, archival-safe wrapping, and foam bumpers. For large or unusually shaped pieces, we create custom solutions to ensure they’re supported and protected on their journey.
Step 3: Climate-Controlled Transit
Your artwork will be transported in our climate‑controlled vehicles that maintain steady humidity and temperature levels. Our logistics team plans the safest routes and monitors environmental factors to prevent extreme exposure to heat, moisture, or fluctuations. This type of transportation protects each piece throughout the entire trip.
Step 4: Secure Fine Art Storage
If your art collection needs to be stored for any length of time prior to installation, our fine art storage facility provides a climate-regulated environment designed for preservation, with stable temperature levels. Our restricted access and continuous monitoring keep all of your pieces safe.
