Fine art shipping services
At Williams & Hill, we have decades of experience in the global shipping of fine art, interior designs and antiques. With our global network of trusted partners, we can ship any kind of artwork, safely and efficiently, to and from virtually anywhere in the world – handing every detail along the way.
Planning and collaborating
We’ll work with you to plan out every stage of the shipping process. We’re happy to tailor any part of our service to make sure it fits your specific needs – from the physical handling to the paperwork and communication needed.
Covering every angle
Our fine art shipping service covers all the extra tasks that accompany the physical transport of items, including:
- Customs handling
- On-site surveys and access assessments
- Insurance options, available on request
- Delivery and unpacking at the destination property
- Inventory management, packing and casing
Road, sea or air
With a mixture of our own fleet and our global partners, we can ship by road, sea or air – whichever makes most sense logistically and financially. See our individual pages for more information:
We have worked with Williams and Hill for many years and always feel that our artworks are in good hands, whether in storage or being shipped internationally. Communication with the team is always very personal and effective and they always go the extra step to help us realise our projects smoothly.
