FOR ITEMS LOCATED AT...

FOR FINE ART:

Whether it’s a painting, sculpture or other fine work of art, it is commonly believed that the majority of losses (damage) in art occur during transit.

When it comes to transporting fine art purchase(s), our customers want to work with a shipper who specializes in properly packing/crating the works and handling their transportation to and from their destinations with the utmost of care.

Our customers have used and we can recommend the following services for their fine art shipping:

FOR LARGE, BULKY, & OVERSIZED ITEMS ...

For larger items such as sofas, dining tables, hutches, etc., our customers have used (and we can recommend) the following for their large-item shipping needs:

Billiards / Pool Tables
Moving a billiards table (pool table) can be complicated and expensive.

Many people think they can avoid using a pool table specialist and the costs associated with them by trying to move the whole, in-tact pool table themselves.

They then realize the error of their ways and a whole new added expenditure ... having to dispose a broken pool table.

It's best to leave proper handling, moving, and care of billiards tables to the pool table pros who properly disassemble the table, carefully pack its pieces, and reassemble them at the new destination.

Our customers have had success with the following pool table movers:

PIANOS

When it comes to bidding on and winning pianos at auction, the importance of hiring the right professional piano mover is critical. Finding third-party shippers who specialize in the safe and secure transportation of pianos might be a challenge. Professional piano movers ensure that these musical instruments safely arrive at their destination in the same condition as when they left the auction site.

These experts understand the unique requirements of pianos, from their delicate internal mechanisms to their exquisite exteriors. By entrusting your piano shipping needs to professionals, you not only safeguard your investment but also preserve the musical heritage of these instruments.

Our clients mentioned the following companies who handled their piano transportation needs with care and expertise, so we're passing the information to you.

MASSIVE & HEAVY SCULPTURES

There are certain jobs that are too big for ordinary moving pros.

Rigging, cranes, and tractors are sometimes necessary to get the job done -- particularly when it comes to oversized or massive sculptural works of bronze, stone, etc.

When dealing with these ultra-heavy, ultra-bulky pieces it's time to ensure you bring in the right professionals with the right equipment and expertise.

If you have need of such services to move and install your newly-acquired piece in the greater Southern NY and Southern CT region, we can recommend:

Angelo Rigging Company
(Mariano Brothers Specialty Moving)
Tel: 203-948-4076

... SHIPPING BEYOND THESE REGIONS:

Large, even "oversized" items, including fine antiques and stone based merchandise pose several challenges for ordinary shipping agencies when going long distances.

Size and weight are often the biggest factor in pricing and sourcing the right shipping agency to carefully handle your newly purchased items.

For such times and needs, our customers have used (and we can recommend) the following for their freight and large-item shipping services throughout the country:
