Moving priceless works of art and antiques across borders requires more than careful transportation. It demands precision, expertise and a deep understanding of the value and heritage behind every piece.

Intermovers Malaysia’s Fine Art department specialises in the handling, packing and international transportation of valuable artworks, antiques and cultural artefacts. Its experience began with the transportation of artwork and furnishings for royal palaces, including delicate heirlooms, thrones and large crystal chandeliers.

Today, the Fine Art team works with galleries, private collectors and museums to safely move valuable collections throughout Malaysia and internationally.

Every artwork requires a carefully planned approach. Intermovers uses specialised materials and techniques depending on the nature and condition of each piece.

Key measures include:

• Custom-built boxes with precision-fitted inserts.
• Shock-absorbing and protective materials.
• Acid-free and archival-quality materials for delicate textiles and artefacts.
• Climate-controlled containers to help manage temperature and humidity.
• Careful handling by trained specialists using protective gloves.
• Detailed customs, import and export documentation for international shipments.

Among the team’s notable projects was the international transportation of rare books and artefacts from the first century of the Islamic world to Japan. Another challenging project involved moving a 700 kg painting measuring 5.37 metres long and 2.36 metres high from Bank Negara Malaysia, requiring a coordinated team of eight specialists to safely remove and manoeuvre the artwork through a narrow doorway.

From priceless sculptures and museum collections to vintage furniture and treasured antiques, every piece receives the highest level of care throughout its journey.

With extensive experience in fine art transportation, Intermovers Malaysia combines specialised handling, protective packing, international logistics and customs expertise to help ensure that each treasured item reaches its destination safely.

Behind every valuable piece is a story, a history and a legacy worth preserving. At Intermovers Malaysia, our Fine Art specialists understand the responsibility that comes with moving these treasures and provide carefully coordinated solutions for every journey.
