Abels will relocate an antique, painting or sculpture locally or ship artwork across the globe as you require.

Abels takes the utmost care. A survey of antiques, artwork or sculptures is normally advised. Plans can then be drawn up to handle each piece in the most appropriate manner. Antiques, artworks and sculptures come in all different shapes and sizes. At Abels they design each packing process including any specialist protective case to match the size of each piece. Thus ensuring complete care and piece of mind.

The best packing method is always assessed at the time of survey or discussion. Many antiques, paintings or sculptures we will have moved previously, and so a case note will already be on file.
