Fragile Case

Preparing Antiques For A Move

Any antique can be ruined by an unsightly mark, blemish or crack. No one likes to see their antiques damaged in any way as it often decreases the value and as any antiquer knows, repair can be costly. Whether you’re taking your antiques to a roadshow, selling them on or moving house, simply follow this guide to put your mind at rest whilst your (hopefully) valuable antiques are safely transported.

Preparation

With fragile goods of this nature it is important to describe your antiques to your chosen transport provider. Always let the transporter provider know what the dimensions and weight of the items is. If there are any provisos when it comes to the handling and transportation of your antiques, let it be know to the courier beforehand. Always mark your boxes as fragile as well as writing down your name, in case any confusion or complications arise. It could also prove beneficial to photograph your antiquities from all angles to prove whether any damages occurred during transit. Write an inventory of all your antiques if know you are going have more than one moved at a time; you can then tick them off the list upon arrival (after checking for damages of course).

 

Ask your antique couriers as many questions as possible. Have they had experience moving antique goods? Does their insurance cover the damage of your antiques? Is the equipment they use best suited for the transport of antiques, including loading and unloading? These sort of questions should be raised before deciding upon any one transport provider. Check the history of any delivery services by having a look at review from past customers.

In some cases it may be best to hire a professional antiques courier to keep peace of mind when moving specialty goods and items.

Wrapping your antiques

Newspaper and bubble wrap will be your best friend when it comes to packaging your antiquities. If you are transporting glass or porcelain make sure to wrap and double wrap; cracks and shattered glass are hard to repair!. Scrunch up the newspaper as much as possible and place it inside your glass or porcelain items. For more delicate or higher valued items bubble wrap and foam sheets are essential. Blankets are also essential when moving your antiques. Antiques that are quite larger and heavy will require thicker blankets for protection. If the surface of your antiques is particularly prone to scracthes, use a softer material.

Try not to group multiple items within the same box and certainly do not put mismatched items in the same packaging. Heavy items and fragile antiques do not make great bedfellows for example. All space inside boxes should be used with newspaper or packaging filler like styro-foam “popcorn.”

If the item is light or small, it makes sense that it transported on top of heavier goods. It is important to check where the the courier places your antiques in their vehicle and if you are worried just tell them and they should try to help you as much as possible.

What do you think of the Missouri mom being convicted of only misdemeanor charges in the cyber-bullying case?

Knowing that the victim was fragile and prone to depression, she and others went ahead and hounded the girl. How responsible do you think this mom was for the girl's death?

I only hope the judge doesn't dismiss the case against her. I understand he is deciding even after she was convicted.
Three misdemeanors could equal three years in prison and a $300,000 fine. I hope she gets it.
