How We Handled a $100,000+ Fine Art Shipment
We handled a fine art shipment from Oakland, California to Brighton, England. The project included 16 pieces, with a total declared value of over $100,000, including paintings, framed artwork, and unique wood pieces.
The shipment required careful packing, custom crating, and full coordination for international transport.
The Challenge
This was not a standard shipment.
The collection included:
- A $100,000 framed painting
- Multiple canvas pieces
- Framed artwork with glass and plexiglass
- Fragile wooden items such as African shields and a Dogon ladder
Each item had different packing needs and required protection for a long international journey.
There was also the added responsibility of proper insurance coverage and preparing everything for export.
What We Did
Our team handled the project from start to finish.
- Carefully reviewed the inventory and values provided by the client
- Packed each item based on its material and fragility
- Built custom crates for the more valuable and delicate pieces
- Protected all items for international shipping conditions
- Coordinated the shipment from California to the UK
We made sure everything was properly labeled, documented, and ready for a smooth delivery overseas.
