Museum-Quality Care for Priceless Possessions
Fine Art Moving & Storage in Los Angeles
Stratton and Sons provides specialized fine art moving services for galleries, museums, private collectors, and estate managers throughout Southern California. Every piece — from a small oil painting to a monumental sculpture — receives custom handling designed to eliminate risk during packing, transport, and installation.
Custom Crating for Every Piece
Our in-house crating shop builds custom wooden crates tailored to the exact dimensions and fragility of each artwork. Paintings are float-packed in crates with foam lining and corner bracing to absorb shock. Sculptures receive contoured foam inserts that cradle the piece without contact points that could cause abrasion. Every crate is built with the specific handling and transport conditions in mind — whether it's traveling across town or across the country.
Air-Ride Transport & Temperature-Controlled Storage
Temperature and humidity fluctuations cause irreversible damage to paintings, textiles, and antiques. Our air-ride suspension trucks provide smooth, vibration-free transport to protect delicate pieces. For storage, our Chatsworth warehouse offers temperature-controlled options with 24/7 monitoring — available for items that require it. We accommodate short-term storage between exhibitions and long-term archival storage for private collections.
Transport, Storage & Delivery
We specialize in the safe transport, storage, and delivery of fine art and valuables. Our crews use archival-quality materials exclusively and follow museum handling protocols: nitrile gloves, clean padded surfaces, and two-person lifts for all framed work. We work with conservators, curators, and art advisors to ensure every piece arrives safely and is placed exactly where it needs to be.
