Investing in expensive and sometimes one of a kind artwork is a life long hobby for many. But what happens when you need to move that priceless piece of artwork? That is when you find the best moving company, one that has experience with moving such artwork and is confident in moving it. Here are five important suggestions to remember when moving priceless artwork.
1. The Truck Make sure the truck is equipped with the proper security. Be sure the truck has straps to hold the artwork against the walls.
2. Packing Packing a piece of artwork is another way to ensure its condition is not disturbed during the moving processes. At Columbine Moving and Storage they make their own crates for specific pieces. This is to ensure the artwork is in tightly wrapped and protected crates for the move.
3. Protecting Artwork Be sure the movers are not wearing anything bulky that could get in the way and damage the piece. Many people insist on movers wearing white gloves. This is to make certain that the oil and dirt from their hands will not compromise the oil in the painting.
4. Insurance Making sure to cover all your bases when insuring artwork will save you a lot of hassle. Be sure to have the appropriate worth and reading through the insurance policy to know what is and is not covered.
5. Ask to see it Do not be afraid to ask to see your artwork once it is secure on the truck. This is your final chance to see if anything is not up to your standard and can have it changed. Make sure it is in the truck safely and securely.
