Secure storage
Our expertise in art transport is widely recognised and appreciated by our customers. To meet your needs as effectively as possible, we offer premium storage solutions for works of art destined for exhibitions or auction houses, leveraging our extensive experience and resources. Our warehouses provide an optimal conservation environment with climate and humidity control systems, ensuring the conservation of your most precious assets. For more protection, the spaces are equipped with racks, pallets, shelves, safes, and containers. Strict security protocols are in place, including fire alarms, anti-theft systems, and 24/7 surveillance.
We also implemented access control systems to prevent unauthorised entry into the warehouse. Rigorous checks are conducted at every entry and exit, and each movement of the works of art is tracked in real-time through a traceability system.
We offer complete range of services including:
- Reception, verification, and packaging of the works of art
- Preparation of the storage areas
- Handling
- Cartoning or crating
- Conditioning
For temporary storage of works of art in transit, we recommend our bonded warehouses service.
Custom packaging for works of art
During transport, the safety and protection of works from shocks and vibrations are our top priority. Each piece is unique, and so is its packaging. That's why we supply tailor-made packaging, adapted to the nature, weight and dimensions of each piece: acid-free or siliconised paper, bubble wrap, rigid cardboard, polystyrene, wooden crates with cushioning and foam, and shock and tilt detectors. Our products comply with ISPM 15 standards, ensuring maximum protection for your canvases, paintings, and sculptures. With our expertise in the most advanced stamping techniques, we offer customised solutions for the packaging of the works.
With our extensive experience and knowledge of international regulations, we ensure smooth handling of all administrative procedures, from customs declarations to import formalities on arrival. Our worldwide network of specialised agents guarantees swift and secure delivery of goods, in full compliance with current regulations.
