Frequently Asked Questions

How do movers transport antiques safely?

Reputable specialty movers use custom-built wooden crates, acid-free packing paper, and climate-controlled vehicles. They also create detailed condition reports with photographs before loading. Ask to see examples of their crating work.

Can movers disassemble and reassemble a pool table?

Yes — but only a specialty mover should do it. Pool table moves involve removing the felt, disassembling the slate (often in 3 pieces), transport, and professional reassembly with new felt installation. DIY or using a general mover risks cracking the slate, which is irreplaceable on older tables.

Is fine art covered by a mover's insurance?

Standard released value protection ($0.60/lb) is completely inadequate for art. Full value protection from your mover covers market value, but many movers cap claims at $100,000. For pieces over that value, purchase a specialized fine art insurance policy from a carrier like Chubb, AXA Art, or Berkley One.
