Tips for Packing, Moving antiques and works of art

When moving antique furniture and works of art that must weigh the benefits of packing yourself or hire professionals. Make you own packaging saves money, and you can move, because you will know what is in each box. However, the recruitment of professionals to pack and unpack your most valuable belongings can help to ensure that they arrive intact.

Here are some tips to pack your valuable belongings.

1.) Get antiques and artwork appraised. Before packing or moving, is important to inventory and get all parts of appraised value. You can visit the American Society of Appraisers to find a qualified appraiser.

Packaging 2.) Purchase adequate supplies. Do not skimp on supplies of mobile professionals, such as sturdy boxes of different sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap packaging peanuts, wrapping paper, fill, and the black water-resistant markers.

3.) Wrap each item separately. Wrap small items with non-printed newspaper. The benefit of paper is that no ink to damage the finish. Then use plastic bubbles. This will prevent the plasticizer in bubble wrap to react to the painting. Then wrap a second layer of paper before recording.

4.) Prepare large pieces for the move. Remove loose shelves. Remove knobs or handles that stick out, and screw back inside Part. Wrap each piece in blankets and secure with packing tape. Keep the tape taught as it wraps around.

5.) Framed Artworks should be placed in boxes. After individually wrapping each framed print is not printed in newspapers and / or bubble wrap, cardboard, tape tape around them and place at the adjusted image frames.

6.) Mirrors or glass must be protected. Put tape packaging in the front of the mirror like an "X" to keep the pieces in place in case of breakage of glass. Wrap in bubble wrap or unprinted newsprint glued cardboard around them. Loose fill spaces, slightly padded with paper or cardboard. Put in a flat picture box.

5.) Clearly mark each piece. Be sure to label each piece and the box with the words fragile or glass.

6.) Loading Units with care. If you hire someone else to load your target = "_blank" title = "Portable storage units"> portable storage unit, or if you do it yourself, be sure to be careful when lifting and placing their valuable antiques and works of art.
