Fine art, antiques and luxury item moving in Dubai
Some items are irreplaceable, and a standard moving crew is the wrong tool for them. Art, antiques, instruments, lighting and designer pieces need survey, crating and a plan for every surface they will pass.
We handle these items in Dubai and across the UAE for collectors, galleries, designers and private homes.
Survey first, always
We look at each piece before quoting: dimensions, weight, frame and glazing condition, existing damage, fixings, and how it will physically leave the room. Condition is photographed and recorded before anything is touched.
For a collection we produce an item-level plan, so on the day nobody is deciding how to lift a bronze while holding it.
- Condition report and photographs before handling
- Bespoke foam-lined timber crates built to the piece
- Glazed works taped and board-protected, or travel frames
- Chandeliers dismantled, arms and crystals boxed separately
- Piano crews with correct boards, straps and skid equipment
- Safes moved with rated equipment and floor protection
Pianos, chandeliers and safes
Upright and grand pianos are moved with the correct board and strapping, legs and lyre removed where the instrument requires it, and floors and door frames protected on the route. We recommend tuning after any move, once the instrument has settled.
Chandeliers are photographed lit, mapped, then dismantled arm by arm with each crystal bagged to its position. Safes are moved with rated skates and load-bearing awareness rather than muscle.
Designer furniture and stone
Marble and stone tops travel vertically in A-frames, never flat, because flat is how they crack. Leather and bouclé are covered in breathable material, not sealed film that can mark a finish in heat.
Lacquer, high-gloss and polished brass pieces are wrapped in tissue before blankets so nothing abrades a mirror finish.
Installation at the other end
Art is hung to your positions, level and at the height you ask for, with the correct fixing for the wall. Chandeliers are rebuilt and re-hung. Sculpture is placed and, where sensible, secured.
We finish with a second condition check against the original photographs, so any question is settled with evidence rather than memory.
