The priceless value of these pieces, both financially and sentimentally, demands careful handling and special precautions. TRANSPORTS MARI Limited in London has all the necessary qualifications to transfer your works to the most prestigious exhibition venues in the city, England, the United Kingdom and other international destinations.
Diverse transport solutions
For more than 100 years, we became experts in transporting all kinds of antiques and works of art, including paintings, sculptures, statues, pottery, photographs, antique and contemporary furniture, and other collectibles. Our technical skills enable us to handle these works with delicacy.
Whether you are an antique dealer, an art dealer, an art collector, an exhibition organiser, an artist or a second-hand dealer, we are at your service to transport your most precious objects to museums, galleries, or other art venues. We manage the entire logistics chain, from collection to installation in the exhibition or sales room (white-glove service), in compliance with strict procedures.
To ensure optimal protection against shocks, humidity and temperature variations, we use custom-made packaging that meets international standards, including cushioning materials and wooden crates. Our secure vehicles and real-time shipment tracking system, your works will be in safe hands. Additionally, we provide Ad Valorem insurance to cover your assets.
You can store your treasures for a few weeks, a few months or even a year in our highly secure, climate-controlled premises (fire and theft alarms and 24/7 video surveillance). We offer tailored storage solutions (on pallets, in racks or on the floor), adapted to the nature and the value of your collections.
Shipping works of art abroad
Thanks to our global network of specialised agents and our knowledge of each country-specific customs regulations, we facilitate all administrative procedures (document management, customs declarations, export licenses, cultural good certificates, ATA carnets, and other regulatory procedures). We are particularly well known among private collectors, museum directors, restorers, and fairs and exhibitions organisers for our high-end removal services at competitive prices and our mastery of the specificities of international art transport.
Entrust us with the moving of your works of art and antiques to France, Switzerland, Belgium, New York, Miami, or Montreal. As IATA and WCA-certified agents, we recommend air or sea transport, depending on the volume and the fragility of the items to be transported and the distance to be covered.
