Framed Art
Transport of framed artworks
Arrange protection according to the screen material, glass condition and frame corners.
Service highlights
When moving artwork, avoid packaging that touches delicate surfaces directly, and check the glass, frame corners and backing board. We assess corner protectors and support based on the size and material of each piece, and create a handover record of its external condition; restoration, reframing and hanging are not part of a standard move.
