Read on for a detailed look at our offerings, how we manage climate-controlled art transport in Nepal, and tips for choosing the right specialized movers.
Why You Need Specialized Fine Art Movers in Nepal
Transporting fine art is not like moving household goods. Artworks and antiques are sensitive to shock, vibration, temperature, and humidity changes. Unsecured handling or generic packing can lead to cracks in canvases, warping of wood frames, or silvering on photographs. Working with specialized movers ensures:
-
Temperature & Humidity Control: Climate-controlled trucks are required to maintain a stable environment throughout transit.
-
Custom Crating: According to the dimensions of the artwork, custom crates of international standards need to be designed, using specialized packing materials to ensure the artwork is safeguarded throughout the journey.
-
White-Glove Handling: From pickup to installation, every piece should be handled by trained art technicians who understand the specific needs of delicate and valuable pieces.
Why Work With Orient?
While most moving companies in Nepal provide the basics required for fine art moving, at Orient International Relocations, we follow a straightforward and transparent process that provides more value to the customer. Here are all the ways we help-
1. Pre-Move Consultation & Crate Design
The process begins with an on-site assessment of each artwork’s dimensions, weight, and fragility. We then engineer tailor-made crates, ranging from safe-transport cardboard cartons to museum crates, for optimal support and shock absorption.
2. Climate Controlled Art Transport
Using dedicated isothermal vehicles and specialized packaging, we prioritize temperature and humidity control during transport.
3. White-Glove Packing & Unpacking
Our team employs acid-free paper, bubble wrap, and foam inserts to cushion surfaces. For three-dimensional pieces—like sculptures or antiques—we use custom cradles to secure them during movement.
4. Art Insurance Options
We offer comprehensive art insurance options to provide additional peace of mind for your valuable collection.
5. International Freight Forwarding & Customs Clearance
As part of our broader International Freight Forwarding Services, we handle all export/import documentation, transit insurance, and door-to-door delivery for global shipments.
6. Installation & Exhibition Support
Our expert art handling Nepal crew provides professional installation services for private residences, galleries, and museums, ensuring correct hanging techniques and environmental placement.
Antique Shipping Nepal: Special Considerations
Within fine arts, we also give special attention to antiques. Antiques often contain mixed materials—wood, leather, metal—that respond differently to temperature and humidity. We provide:
-
Condition Reporting: Pre- and post-move inspections with photo documentation.
-
Conservation-Grade Materials: Acid-free wraps and museum-grade foams to prevent chemical reactions.
-
Storage Solutions: Short-term climate-controlled vaults to accommodate project delays or exhibit staging.
How to Choose the Right Fine Art Movers Nepal
-
Certifications & Experience: Look for ISO certification and memberships in associations like the Fine Art Shippers Association (FASA).
-
Equipment & Fleet: Ensure providers use climate-controlled, air-ride vehicles with GPS tracking and alarm systems.
-
Custom Crating Expertise: Verify in-house carpentry capabilities for bespoke crate design that meets international museum standards.
-
Comprehensive Services: Choose a mover offering packing, freight forwarding, customs clearance, and installation.
-
Insurance & Guarantees: Opt for all-risks coverage tailored to art values, as provided by Orient’s Fine Arts Handling team.
