Fine art

A unique piece tolerates no transhipment point.

Direct transports for fine art, antiques and high value single pieces. The shipment travels alone, with no other cargo, no transhipment and insured to its actual value on request.

Insurance to the value
Discreet and unmarked
Direkt! Kurierfahrzeug

Art and antiques are irreplaceable, and that is exactly what makes the usual groupage route a risk. Every transhipment point means handling, stacking and waiting, and liability calculated by weight has nothing to do with the value of a painting.

On a direct run the object stays in the same vehicle from pickup to destination. We discuss packaging, securing and insurance before the journey so nothing is left to chance.

Typical jobs.

Gallery and exhibition

Between galleries, museums and fairs, planned to build-up and dismantling times.

Private collection

Discreet runs between private addresses, restorers and auction houses.

Antiques and furniture

Single pieces without a transport crate, carefully secured.

Restoration

To the restorer and back, with the same standards in both directions.

Why Direkt!

Alone in the vehicle

No other cargo, no stacking, no interim storage. That is the best protection there is.

Value, not weight

We raise the insurance question before the journey, not afterwards.

Discretion

No visible reference to the load, with a confidentiality agreement on request.

Frequent questions

Fine art in detail.

How is a painting transported?
Ideally in a suitable crate or with edge protection and interlayers, secured upright and never stacked flat. Without suitable packaging we agree in advance how to secure the object.
Do you also handle packaging?
Transport-safe packaging is the sender's responsibility. For special requirements we work with specialised partners, so contact us in good time.
How much can I insure?
The value of the goods determines the cover. Tell us the value when booking and we arrange suitable cargo insurance before the journey.
Is the vehicle left unattended?
For high value transports we agree that the vehicle is not parked unattended, with a second driver if necessary.
Do you collect from private addresses?
Yes, collection and delivery at private addresses are normal. Someone simply needs to be present to confirm the handover.
