Art and Valuables Transport
Transporting art is a delicate job: it calls for safe, on-time, discreet delivery and a logistics partner that specialises in shipping artworks and valuables.
Paeurope offers a dedicated door-to-door service with experienced drivers, properly equipped vehicles and all-risk insurance, designed for galleries, auction houses, museums and companies in the art world.
This dedicated service includes:
- An experienced driver for transporting and handling artworks
- Extra staff for escort and handling, on request
- A suitable vehicle, with special equipment where needed (climate control, air suspension)
- All-risk insurance covering the full value of the item, on request*
- Close attention to punctuality and to how the delivery is carried out (see also our White Gloves service)
Painting shipping and transport of valuable items
We ship paintings and pictures, protected with vertical crates and edge guards, as well as sculptures and installations, including large-format works, for which we provide the equipment needed for loading and unloading. We use the same protocol for valuable items such as antiques, jewellery, watches, musical instruments and collectibles, always with an experienced driver, a suitable vehicle and, on request, all-risk insurance on the full value of the item.
How art transport works
Every shipment is organised around the individual item, starting with two preliminary stages:
- Site visit and assessment. We assess the size, fragility and value of the work in order to choose the most suitable packing and vehicle.
- Custom packing. We build crates and specific protections, using shock-absorbing materials and barriers against humidity and temperature swings.
Where we operate and how long it takes
We transport artworks and valuables throughout Italy and Europe, including Switzerland and the UK.
Shipping is guaranteed door to door — we deliver directly to the recipient — with a dedicated express shipment and the option of our White Gloves service: unpacking, positioning and cleaning where needed at the delivery address.
You can request the service at any time by filling in the form below or sending us an email: we organise the transport around your specific needs. Delivery times depend on the distance, the size of the item and how urgent the request is.
