A standard moving company can handle a typical household’s or business’s relocation needs, but if you are moving fine art and antiques, you need specialist art movers. You should only trust art moving professionals, such as Aardvark Art Services, who specialise in transporting such precious cargo.

Why Choose Specialist Art Movers?

Our expert art movers have a specific skill set that ensures your art will arrive to its new home safely. Specialist art movers offer services well worth the investment. They coordinate all the logistic factors to relocate artwork for museums, galleries, exhibits, and private collectors. 

Original works of fine art are unique and irreplaceable. Unfortunately, transporting your artwork to a new location exposes each item in your collection to many risks. Without help from professional art movers, you run the risk of damaging your precious pieces.

For example, Improper packaging leaves scratches and fails to protect against dings and gouges, or a piece of work could degrade if exposed to the wrong materials or climates. Your artwork might also get lost or stolen.
