Transport of works of art in Bayonne in the Basque Country

Specialised transport of works of art in Bayonne: A delicate operation in the heart of the Basque Country, carried out with expertise and precision

Collaboration of Bovis Fine Art SUD OUEST with the museums of Nouvelle Aquitaine

Our agency Fine Sud-Ouest works in collaboration with many museums in the Aquitaine region to carry out maintenance, transport, packaging and storage operations throughout the year in order to support the daily activity of regional museums.

The Bovis Group is indeed the privileged partner of many major museums in France, including the Louvres, for example, in which our Parisian agency intervenes several times a week with a dedicated team on a direct basis.

The intervention we present to you today takes place at the Bonnat Museum in Bayonne, one of the museums that our fine Art team regularly accompanies in its missions.

The service concerned the deposit and transport of a work of art to the CICRP of a monumental painting "Doux pays" by the artist Pierre Puvis de Chavanne.

Our experts in the transport of works of art proceeded to remove the master painting with the restorers (canvas and frame). The Bovis fine Art specialists then carried out the handling and packaging of the monumental work in accordance with the rules of the art. The painting was then loaded into our vehicles dedicated to transporting works of art to the CICRP in Marseille with a secure parking for the night in our Bovis Occitanie agency in Béziers.

Points to be observed for a successful transport of works of art In the south-west

The transportation of works of art by professionals is an essential step in ensuring the safety and integrity of your works of art while they are in transit.

In order to carry out their mission of transporting works of art, our teams respect the following essential points:

Professional Packaging: The paintings are packed with the utmost care to avoid any damage during transport. Special packaging materials, such as custom-made wooden crates, corner protectors, tissue paper and foams, are used to protect the works against shocks, vibrations and temperature changes.

Temperature and humidity management: Some boards may be sensitive to temperature and humidity variations. Our teams of art transport professionals are equipped with the means to control these conditions during transport, thus ensuring the preservation of the integrity of the works.

Trained staff: Our specialist art transport staff is trained to handle these delicate items safely. They know the best practices for loading, unloading, and handling artwork to minimize the risk of damage.

Traceability: We offer you tracking services to allow owners/communities to track the location of their works in real time during transport.

Secure storage: In the event of a need for temporary storage, our specialized agencies, ideally located throughout the country, have secure, air-conditioned and monitored facilities to guarantee the safety of the works.

Hiring art transport professionals such as Bovis fine Art Sud-Ouest is essential to ensure that your artwork arrives at its destination safely.
