Artworks, antiques, design classics and wine collections need more than blankets and straps. For a premium move we take more time per item, document its condition and pack every piece individually.
In short
For art, antiques, design furniture and collections: more time, more packaging, more care. Pictures and mirrors travel in edge protection and special boxes; delicate pieces are planned individually.
What’s included
- Photo documentation and condition report for valuables
- Individual packing with acid-free paper and bubble wrap
- Custom crates for paintings and sculptures
- Additional cover on request, based on declared value
- Placement according to your furnishing plan
How a premium move works
- You send us a list of your valuable objects, if possible with their values.
- Survey: we photograph the condition, measure large pieces and plan the route through the building.
- Quote – fixed price or by the hour; we quote additional cover based on declared value on request.
- Individual packing with acid-free paper and bubble wrap, made-to-measure crates for pictures and sculptures.
- At the destination we place every piece according to your furnishing plan.
What affects the price
We quote the binding price after the free survey – on site, by video call or from photos. These factors play a role:
- Number and type of valuables
- Custom crating
- Insured value
- Time for packing and placement
Premium move: what matters
- List valuable pieces with value and photos – for insurance and planning.
- Check additional cover based on declared value; carrier’s liability covers up to CHF 200,000 per vehicle.
- Mind the climate: wood, canvas and wine do not tolerate large temperature changes.
- Plan the hanging at the new place beforehand; clarify wall type and fixings.
Our tip
Prepare a list of your valuables with their value beforehand. We use it to calculate the right additional cover.
From our experience
For valuable items the work starts before moving day: we photograph the condition, measure large pieces and plan the route through the building. Nothing is improvised on the day.
