| The safety and
security of your artwork, whether
for long-term storage or for an international transit, is the
focus of our Crating and Packing Department. Our crates are
built by skilled craftspeople with years of cumulative handling
experience. Each crate is individually designed and constructed
with the safety of the object in mind.
Our crating and packing methods are of the highest quality,
utilizing the most advanced methods and materials - appropriate
for both the object and the client requirements. Whether your
work needs to travel across the country or across the globe,
you can be assured that every crate is custom built to meet the
requirements of that individual work.

| Travel Frames |
A Travel Frame is required when the especially fragile surface
or extreme high-value of a work precludes any kind of wrappng
