How to pack and move antiques and delicate china and ornaments?
Here is some advice from Antique and Fine Art Movers that may help you.When moving furniture if at all possible remove all knobs or handles that may be protruding beyond the outline of the piece then wrap the item in padded moving blankets, these can be rented, and if necessary cover with plastic sheets. If you are using tape to secure blankets or plastic then ensure it does not stick to the surface of the item as when it is removed it could cause damage to it. Make use of plastic wrap when securing loose items especially drawers, doors, wood or glass to keep them in situ; if you need to use straps make sure they do not rub over the surface of your items.
Be particularly mindful if the weather is bad or it is raining; consider postponing the move to a dry day. Rain can play havoc with the surface of nearly anything especially paper or other unprotected items. Do not skimp, if you have large items buy or rent crates and make sure the items are securely in place with no movement; bubble wrap is superb for this.
It is highly advisable when you know for certain when you are moving to contact an insurance broker to apply for moving and relocation insurance.
Do not use newspaper to wrap valuable items or to cover pictures or paintings you will find they will transfer the print onto the surfaces and you may damage them trying to get the print off. Do not use light weight wooden boxes or stuff your valuables into brown paper bags, well not unless you no longer have any use for your valuables.
