Fine Arts & Antiques Relocation Dubai
Artwork, antique furniture, sculptures, ceramics, and high-value collectibles require a fundamentally different approach to moving. Standard packing materials, standard crews, and standard insurance are not appropriate. Fusion Relocations operates a specialist fine arts and antiques service — with custom-built crating, acid-free packing materials, climate-controlled transport, and quality management — for clients in Dubai who cannot afford to get it wrong.

Specialist Care for Objects That Cannot Be Replaced
Every piece of fine art, every antique, and every significant collectible has a story, a value, and a level of fragility that generic movers are not equipped to handle. The consequences of a poorly packed painting, a damaged sculpture, or an antique chest exposed to temperature extremes during a Dubai summer transit are irreversible.
Fusion Relocations operates an in-house crating workshop in Dubai — designing and building custom timber crates for each individual item, using acid-free tissue, archival foam, and conservation-grade materials throughout. We employ specialist fine arts crew who are trained in museum-standard handling protocols — not general movers assigned to an unusual job.
For international fine arts shipments, we work with our — ensuring the same standards are maintained at the destination end. Climate-controlled transport and storage options are available on all routes.

Condition Reporting

Our Fine Arts Process
Museum-Standard Handling at Every Stage
Every fine arts move follows a documented, specialist process — from survey to final condition check. Nothing is improvised; every step is planned and executed by trained crew.
Specialist Survey
A Fusion fine arts specialist visits your home or collection to assess every item — reviewing condition, construction, material, size, and any fragility concerns. This survey informs the crating specifications and handling requirements for each piece.
Condition Reporting
Before any packing begins, every item is photographed comprehensively — multiple angles, existing damage noted. This condition report is countersigned by the owner and forms the baseline for the insurance declaration and any transit claim assessment.
Custom Crate Design & Build
Our in-house workshop designs and builds a purpose-made crate for each significant item — timber frame, internal foam lining, acid-free tissue wrapping, and internal bracing. No item shares a crate unless it is safe to do so.
Expert Packing
Specialist crew — not general movers — pack every item according to its individual requirements. Paintings are wrapped in conservation-grade materials, sculptures are foam-suspended, antique furniture is blanketed and corner-protected.
Climate-Controlled Transport
Items are loaded into climate-controlled vehicles where required. For international shipments, we specify climate-controlled container options or air freight for particularly sensitive or high-value pieces.
Delivery, Unpacking & Condition Check
At destination, our specialist crew or partner agent unpacks and places every item. A final condition report is completed — compared against the pre-move report — and any transit damage is documented for insurance purposes immediately.
Accreditations & Standards
Certified Quality and Industry Memberships
Fine arts handling requires specialist credentials — not just general moving accreditation. Our ISO certification is independently audited, and the credentials below are held in Fusion’s own name.
Lloyd’s-Approved Fine Arts Insurance
Specialist fine arts insurance underwritten by Lloyd’s of London-approved insurers — covering agreed replacement value, not depreciated market value. Arranged in-house for every shipment.
Global Partner Network
For international fine arts shipments, we work exclusively with partner agents at destination — ensuring the same handling standards are maintained at the delivery end, not handed to a generic local mover.
ISO 9001 Certified
Our quality management processes — including fine arts survey, condition reporting, crating specifications, and crew training — are certified to ISO 9001:2015
Why Choose Fusion for Fine Arts
The Measurable Difference
There are moving companies, and there are specialist fine arts handlers. Here is what separates Fusion from a general mover assigned to a valuable collection.
In-House Crating Workshop
We design and build every crate ourselves — not outsourced. This means every specification is controlled by our team, every material is chosen for conservation quality, and every crate is right for the item.
Specialist-Trained Crew
Our fine arts crew hold specialist training in museum-standard handling — conservation wrapping, painting handling protocols, sculpture suspension, and antique furniture protection. Not general movers reassigned to a specialist job.
Before & After Condition Reports
Every item is photographed and condition-reported before packing and after delivery. Any change in condition is immediately documented and a claim initiated — you never have to argue about what happened.
Climate-Controlled Options
Temperature and humidity-controlled vehicles and containers are available for any item where environmental stability matters — panel paintings, antique wood, certain ceramics and textiles.
Agreed Value Insurance
Our Lloyd’s-approved fine arts insurance covers the agreed value of your piece — not a depreciated market value. For significant works, we recommend independent valuation prior to shipment.

Fine Arts — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Common questions about moving fine art and antiques from Dubai. For a specialist consultation about your collection,
Do you build your own crates or outsource?
We build every crate in-house at our Dubai workshop — designed specifically for each item. We do not use off-the-shelf crates or outsource to a third-party fabricator. Every material, every specification, and every construction detail is controlled by our own team.
What packing materials do you use for fine art?
We use only conservation-grade materials — acid-free tissue, archival foam, conservation-grade polyethylene foam, glassine, and archival corrugated board where appropriate. For paintings, we use silicone-release paper before any other material touches the painted surface. We do not use bubble wrap in direct contact with any artwork.
Can you ship CITES-regulated items from Dubai?
Yes. Items covered by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) — including certain antique furniture with ivory inlay, antique tortoiseshell items, and pieces incorporating restricted species — require export permits from the UAE and import permits at the destination. We manage the permit application process as part of the service.
What insurance do you recommend for fine art?
We arrange specialist fine arts insurance underwritten by Lloyd’s of London-approved insurers, covering the agreed value of each piece. For significant works, we strongly recommend an independent valuation prior to shipment to establish an accurate agreed value. We can refer you to qualified appraisers in Dubai if required.
Can you handle oversized sculptures or installations?
Yes. We have managed the movement of large-scale sculptures, multi-component installations, and oversized pieces that require specialist equipment — including crane lifts, custom vehicle modifications, and route surveys for pieces with dimensional restrictions. Contact us with dimensions and we will advise on feasibility and approach.
Do you offer fine arts storage in Dubai?
Yes. Our climate-controlled storage facility in Dubai is appropriate for artwork, antique furniture, and sensitive collectibles. Items are stored in dedicated bays with full inventory and condition documentation — not in general-purpose self-storage units. Moving your household at the same time as your collection? Our International Moving service and fine arts relocation can be managed together under one coordinator — one survey, one shipment, one contract. More From Fusion Relocations
