Fine art,
handled with care

Absolutely. We regularly handle mixed residential collections that include fine art, furniture, clothing, and personal effects. Each item is assessed individually and handled using the appropriate packing, transport, and storage solutions. Our approach ensures the same level of care for private residences as we provide to museums and galleries.

Yes. Our facilities maintain strict temperature and humidity controls to protect sensitive materials such as artworks, antiques, textiles, and high-value furnishings.

Yes. Clients receive access to our secure client portal, which provides detailed digital inventories and photography of stored items. Retrieval, inspection, or delivery can typically be arranged with 48 hours’ notice, depending on location.

Cadogan Tate storage facilities are purpose-built for fine art and high-value collections, with 24/7 monitoring, fire-suppression systems, and specialist climate control protecting against physical and environmental risk.

Cadogan Tate does not sell or arrange insurance. Every item handled, transported, or stored is covered by the Asset Protection Programme (APP), a contractual liability framework defining our responsibility while your assets are in our custody. Clients choose from three levels: Essential Protection (default), Full Value Protection (declared value), or Client Insurance Only. The APP works alongside any insurance you hold. Speak to your account manager to confirm the right level for your collection.

We manage collection, transport, and delivery for auction previews, sales, exhibitions, and installations, and are experienced in meeting tight timelines and specialized handling requirements within the global art market.

Yes. Our technicians provide professional installation services, including mounting, placement, and positioning of artworks and furniture for private homes, galleries, and commercial spaces.

Our shuttle service provides scheduled, cost-effective transport between major cities and cultural centers. These routes are ideal for galleries, collectors, and institutions requiring secure, climate-controlled transport with predictable timelines.

Cadogan Tate holds nine industry accreditations and certifications, including FAIM Plus, the fine art industry’s own management certification via FIDI, alongside British Association of Removers (BAR) membership, UKAS accreditation, and ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certification, among others. FAIM Plus in particular reflects the rigorous, fine-art-specific standards our facilities and teams are held to.

Yes. Our in-house crate shops build bespoke crates for each project, tailored to both transport and storage needs. For museum loans and other exhibition-grade requirements, we also build museum-grade custom crates: a distinct, higher specification designed for repeated use across multiple moves, not just a single trip. We handle irregularly shaped, intricate, and delicate structures that call for specialized packing solutions as well. No item is too sensitive or esoteric, from ancient fabrics to organic matter.

Yes. Where required, we conduct a site visit and prepare a method statement and risk assessment in advance, accounting for existing hanging fixtures, atmospheric and environmental conditions, sunlight, and health and safety considerations. We photograph and document your artwork at every stage, so you have a clear record throughout the process.

Yes. Our dedicated Art Fair Team works on the ground at fairs around the world, collaborating with galleries, fair directors, advisors and collectors. We provide comprehensive pre- and post-fair services globally, from shipping and storage to installation and on-site support.

Our technicians come from backgrounds in art history, fine arts, and museum curation, and receive comprehensive training across diverse and complex handling scenarios. That training continues throughout their careers with ongoing in-house education at the Cadogan Tate Academy, so your collection is always in experienced hands.

Cadogan Tate does not perform conservation or restoration work directly. We’ve partnered with world-class restorers and conservators who provide guidance to our teams, and should the need arise, we can recommend trusted specialists from our network to support your collection. We can facilitate on-site climate-controlled spaces for restoration and conservation work or alternatively move property domestically or internationally to the right specialist.
