Four simple, guided steps. Describe the piece, attach photos or a video, give us the route — and we come back with an itemised proposal, line by line.
Answers before the questions
How much does a specialised shipment cost?
Price depends on declared value, format, required packing, access and routing. A mid-format painting between two cities has nothing in common with a dismantled crystal chandelier or a 400 kg safe on the third floor with no lift. Our quote is itemised line by line, with no charges discovered along the way.
Do you carry anything besides artworks?
Yes. Fine art remains our core business, but we carry any object requiring particular care: fine furniture, safes, pianos, light fixtures, sensitive technical equipment, prototypes, sets. The protocol does not change — only the nature of the object does.
Who is liable in case of damage?
We are, within the limits of the cover taken out, from the moment the departure condition report is signed. That is precisely why the report is joint and photographic: it fixes the exact state of the piece when we take custody.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to three weeks for a domestic shipment with a bespoke crate; four to six weeks for an international shipment requiring customs formalities. We also handle urgent requests — tell us at first contact.
Do you work with private individuals?
Regularly. Collectors, estates, artists and auction buyers make up a significant share of our work. The service level is identical to the one offered to institutions.
An urgent assignment?
Call us. Genuine emergencies — unplanned de-installations, sales, incidents — take priority.
