If you have expensive art, you don’t want just anyone to
pack it. Oil paintings can be extremely delicate and fragile and should be
handled with great care. We typically recommend crating fine art especially if
you are going across the country. It’s a lot less expensive to crate he
valuable piece in most cases than it is to replace it in the event that it gets
damaged.
When we were moving the museum, there were tons of pieces of
artwork involved. Along with many artifacts and priceless heirlooms of the
museum. Some of the items had to have special crates built for them because of
the awkward shapes and sizes of them.
Make sure that you talk to your moving professional about
crating where your art is concerned. Your moving company should take
measurements and be qualified to properly build a custom crate if necessary.
Also, for specialty items like the giant hand blown glass sculpture
that we had to move to New York, the crate may need to have foam on the inside
to add additional protection so the piece wasn't sliding around in the crate.
Buehler Companies
moved a table with crystal legs all the way to Texas with a value of over
$100,000.00 and the custom crate was built to protect each of the legs
individually. Foam had to be used of course and we didn't want anything to
puncture the crate so it was made of solid wood. Once the table arrived in Texas,
it was in perfect condition. We made the crate so that it had a point at the
top to ensure that you could not stack anything on top of it.
Be sure to talk to your moving companies about crates and
how they may be able to work for your art. If a moving company does not measure
the items, then we don’t recommend using them on your move or to crate
anything. It is essential that you really get a moving company that knows how to
handle these type of items.
