When it comes to moving fine art and antiques, standard removal practices simply won’t do. These items often carry significant financial and emotional value, and they require specialist handling, packing, and transport. Whether you’re relocating a private collection, moving pieces for an exhibition, or selling valuables overseas, the team at Jamie Briggs Removals & Storage offers expert art moving and antique removals services tailored to your needs.
Why Specialist Handling is Essential
Fine art and antiques can be incredibly fragile. From oil paintings and bronze sculptures to ornate mirrors and heirloom furniture, each piece comes with its own set of risks. Changes in temperature, vibration during transit, and even slight impacts can cause irreparable damage.
That’s why professional art movers are essential. Our team at Jamie Briggs has years of experience handling delicate, high-value items. We use custom crating, acid-free materials, and secure packaging methods that meet museum-level standards.
Packing and Crating for Maximum Protection
We assess each piece individually and recommend the most suitable packing method. For example, a valuable painting may require a bespoke wooden crate lined with conservation-grade Plastazote foam, while antique furniture might need corner protection, blanket wrapping, and shrink film.
Our controlled room temperature storage is ideal for sensitive items awaiting collection or delivery. And for temperature-sensitive pieces like old books, tapestries, or lacquerware, we also offer cold storage solutions.
Transporting Art Domestically and Internationally
We understand the unique logistics involved in both domestic and international removals of fine art. Whether it’s a local move in Oxfordshire or shipping a collection abroad, we handle every detail, including customs paperwork, insurance options, and secure, climate-controlled transport.
Jamie Briggs is a trusted name for clients in Oxford, Bicester, Banbury, and Witney, as well as across the UK. Our professional team ensures your precious items arrive on time and in perfect condition—every time.
Discretion and Security
Security is just as important as care. Our art and antique moving services are always discreet, with GPS-tracked vehicles and vetted staff. We can also provide additional security escorts and condition reports for insurance purposes.
Whether you’re a private collector, gallery owner, or institutional curator, we understand what’s at stake. That’s why we treat every piece like a masterpiece.
