FINE ARTS STORAGE


GETTING YOUR ART SAFELY INTO STORAGE
For both institutions and private collectors, care and storage of artwork has to be handled by professionals, who are bonded against damages and are used to dealing with objects of value. Custom crating will almost certainly be required to move the artwork safely, with padding and packing materials that are suited to the piece. Anything remaining wrapped should have been done so with archival materials, that prevent damage from leached chemicals over time. It also protects against damage from lighting.

Ask if your art moving company will provide climate-controlled, air vans and whether they anchor the crates into the truck to avoid any slippage. Ask for a specialized moving staff, trained in handling art.

STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Ensure your storage facilities are highly secure and protected against both fire and water damage. Climate control is critical, so check the facility’s stipulation for controlling temperature, moisture, and dust. Know every detail about the space where your artwork is being stored.

Many art institutions encountered problems with being underinsured or placing their collections in cheaper warehouses. These facilities are often located in low areas, near water, and face a high risk of flooding. You should visit the storage facility before making your decision.

INSURANCE
Get a professional appraisal from an expert, like http://www.chicagoappraisers.com/fine-art-insurance-appraisals.html, before insuring your artwork. Ask your storage facility about extra security precautions they offer and additional insurance options they would recommend. It might pay to inquire about insurance from outside agencies, such as http://www.axa-art.com/content.asp?IDAREA=3&TIPO=A. Remember to keep backup documentation about provenance and photographic records in a separate place, apart from your storage facility.

HIGH SECURITY
Truly priceless artworks may need to be stored in a climate-controlled vault.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
In the event that you are importing/exporting antiques or fine art overseas, we can assist you with all your shipping and transportation needs. We work with you to ensure such shipments comply with worldwide customs regulations.



There can be many reasons private people and businesses need to store goods away to be used at a later time. Sometimes when moving your household goods may need to be stored temporarily. This may be due to timing and not having located a permanent home in your new city and you may need to store your belongings for a few weeks as you find a new home. You may decide to do some remodeling of your new home or build an entirely new home and you will need to have your furnishings out of the way while this is going on and storage is an obvious choice. You may just need to store items you do not or cannot have in your home due to space constraints, and storage can is an option in situations like this.

Storing with your moving company

An advantage of storing with your moving company is that the company will then deliver your furniture and other possessions when you are ready for them. You will not have to be present at the pick-up at the storage facility if you are moving with us as well.

Storage is for overnight only

If the storage is for overnight only, we will usually allow for storage within our truck itself, which is locked and parked in our safe and guarded depot, providing we have the availability. There is an extra charge for this service, and it varies according to the size of the truck. Please check with your relocation consultant in order to determine if this is option is available at the time of your move, and what the size of your shipment will cost for overnight storage.

To store or not to store

At the time when you are making a decision on whether to store or not to store your goods, think about the other options that may be available to you. Do you really need all the items you are planning to put in to storage? Can you get rid of any without any regrets? Remember if you are moving, that everything you get rid of now is something you wont have to pay to have moved. On the other hand you may need it someday! Ask yourself some questions before deciding to store particular items or not.
