Boston: Shipping Companies Can Play A Role in Preventing Art Theft

December 8, 2010 by admin

Over the years, the Boston Pack and Ship team has shipped a lot of art. Paintings, sculptures, wall hangings, and even towering installation pieces have all needed to be safely transported from one location to another. We’ve dealt with museums, galleries, private collectors, educational institutions, and family members who want to make sure that Grandma’s watercolors make it into the hands of relatives who live across the country. All of these people have had one thing in common: they’re absolutely passionate about their art. It’s very meaningful to them; a treasured part of their existence. That’s why we go the extra mile and have devoted lots of time, energy and resources into developing the expertise needed to ship artwork safely — whether it’s traveling across town or around the globe.

It’s because of that passion that we want to share this article that details a new tool art lovers can use to help combat the problem of art theft. As you know, stolen art and artifacts can be a big business — but only if they can operate under the radar! Having a searchable database of stolen art and artifacts (if they are valued at more than $2000) provides another layer of security that can be used to stop the loss of these cultural treasures.  That way the world’s great works of art can continue providing inspiration and illumination to all who see them.

Shipping Art & Antiques: What You Need To Know

Shipping art, antiques, and artifacts doesn’t have to be complicated.  You can ensure the safety and security of your treasured artwork by working with an experienced packaging and shipping company.  Customized packaging solutions for artwork includes custom built wooden crates, reinforced cartons with foam in place technology, and more.   Full insurance coverage protects your artwork while it’s in transit.  Delivery options can be tailored to meet your needs.

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
