The Jade Ship Jade, the gemstone that fascinated Chinese
civilization and is considered auspicious and used on royal artefacts.
This fascination for the green could be what prompted this artist to
carve an entire Chinese battle galley in this ominous work of art. The
Jade ship is not only considered as a piece of art, but also provides
historians with a window to peek into civilizations past and imagine the
glory of days past when untouched by technology, how our ancestors
paved ways for civilizations yet to rise.
With a length over 2.5 m and weighing over 400 kgs., this heavy item need
special care while moving. Proper layered packing is essential to make it
transportation ready.
The Camel-bone Carving, an intricate
piece of art is the result of a medieval Chinese
craftsman’s handiwork. An entire section of the city is
depicted in layers of details depicting flora, fauna and
cityscapes with immense detailing. This camelbone
structure is an assembly of thousands of hand carved
bones interlocking in their harmony, like the world’s
most difficult three dimensional jig saw puzzle.
While transporting such a delicate and priceless piece of art, it is imperative that at every
step of the move, the individual pieces of the sculpture should not move from it’s respective
places.
African Tribal Ancestral figures are fabled across the cultures in the cradle of
our civilization. Tribesmen believe that the
spirits of their ancestors reside in these
figures and watch over them, offering
protection and wisdom for those who seek it.
Made of seasoned wood, these artefacts need to be protected from abrasions, moisture, s,
exposure to chemical etc. multiple layers of packing is done to deter all risks and they are
sealed in custom made boxes before crating.
When process, management and immaculate execution merge seamlessly
When each and every second of moving is treated as a unique opportunity
when each and every item is treated for the uniqueness and priceless nature that it has
even the tedious and precise task of relocating fine art becomes an art in itself
