Lamp Shades:

[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Never wrap lamp shades in newspaper, as the ink will soil the shade. Instead, carefully wrap each shade in three or four sheets of tissue paper, a pillowcase or a large lightweight towel.

[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-314″ align=”left” size=”16″ icon_color=”#f48a00″ ]Use a sturdy box at least two inches bigger all around than the largest shade. Line it with clean paper, using crushed paper under the lamp shade to create a protective layer, but not around the shade.

Lamp Bases:

Glass Table Tops, Marble Slabs, Large Mirrors, Paintings, Statues & Large Vases:

It’s best to consult with your moving company about custom-made boxes and crates for items of this kind. Paper should never be permitted to touch the surface of an oil painting.You will want to include any items with values exceeding £100  on your “High Value Inventory” form to receive proper valuation coverage. It’s important to do this so that in the unlikelihood that something should happen, you can receive compensation for your damage or loss.
