Expertly efficient, our air freight teams work closely with carriers and airport authorities to ensure the safe and controlled execution of shipment. We ensure that your cargo is packed, marked and securely handed over to the airline whilst taking care of all customs and inspection formalities. Operating from most major airports, our team provides the option of tarmac and palettization supervision, courier services and hand-carry arrangements.

Temperature-controlled and protected. From sole-use containers ideal for large-scale artworks and extensive collections to consolidated consignments, our sea freight options adapt to the irregular and unpredictable forms, fragility and weight brackets associated with fine art.

BY LAND

Our fine art vehicles protect even the most sensitive artworks with climate control, air suspension, GPS tracking and alarm systems built-in as standard. Each vehicle is manned by two technicians, both qualified drivers and trained art handlers, that remain on-site to undertake packing and unpacking as required.

BESPOKE PACKING & CASING Art comes to us in diverse and unpredictable forms, which means we have to be equally innovative with our packing and casing solutions. Our skillful and safe approach is tailored to your specific needs, designed to optimise the saftey, space and climate of your cargo.

We maintain that the moving and packing of artworks and collectibles is an artform in itself, executed by our exceptional team of fine art handlers. Our technicians assess each object in detail, before crafting soft-packing and casing systems to address the individual requirements of each piece.
