Antique removals in Chelsea

Period furniture and heirlooms deserve more than a blanket and a hope. Our antique service is individually wrapped, hand-carried and expertly handled — the specialist work Chelsea’s townhouses ask for.

Chelsea’s period homes are full of pieces that cannot simply be shifted — a marquetry commode, a long-case clock, a gilt mirror, a dining table that has been in the family for generations. Moving them well is a specialist discipline, and it is one of the reasons prime addresses come to us. Every antique is assessed, individually wrapped and padded, and carried by hand along a protected route, never dragged or rushed.

The care extends to the fragile particulars: clock movements and pendulums secured or removed, marble tops carried separately and upright, glazed doors and drop-leaves protected, veneers and gilding shielded from knocks and pressure. Where a piece is especially valuable or awkward, we crate it bespoke. Our crews do this routinely, calmly and with the discretion a private home expects.

Questions about antique removals in chelsea

Do you move long-case clocks and marble-topped furniture?
Yes — these are exactly the pieces the antique service exists for. Clock movements and pendulums are secured or carefully removed, and marble tops are carried separately and upright to avoid stress on the stone.
Can you crate a particularly valuable piece?
We can — bespoke crating to measure is available for especially valuable, fragile or awkward antiques, for transport and for storage.
Are the antiques insured in transit?
Yes — goods-in-transit cover applies. For exceptional pieces, tell us the details and we will make sure the protection and the cover suit their value.
