What Our Antique Movers Handle
We move antiques and fragile valuables on their own or alongside a wider household load. Single-item and small-load jobs are welcome. Before lifting, we look at the piece, its fragile points and the route to the truck. We then wrap and pad it for the handling and journey ahead.
Tell us if an item has loose parts, delicate surfaces or an awkward balance. We would rather plan around those details before moving day than discover them at the doorway.
Our scope includes antique furniture, china, artwork, heirlooms and other specialty pieces that need more thought than an ordinary carton. We match the wrapping and padding to the item, keep fragile pieces separate from harder furniture where the load allows, and tell the carrying crew what needs attention.
Photograph each item before the move and point out existing marks, repairs or weak areas. For china and smaller pieces, tell us whether you want our packing service or plan to pack them yourself.
Insurance Options for Valuable Pieces
Public liability insurance sits behind every move we carry out. For the pieces themselves, transit insurance options are the extra layer: tell us what you are moving and ask for the available terms, exclusions and claim information before you decide. Our removals insurance page explains what to ask us.
Matching the Truck to the Whole Load
For one fragile piece, we plan a small-load move around the item and access. For a broader move, we size the truck from the full inventory. Our 4.5 tonne truck holds 20–25 m³, the 10 tonne carries 30–40 m³ and the 12 tonne carries 50–60 m³.
Steady hands, clear communication and no rushed decisions matter most when a piece is irreplaceable, and that is exactly what the crew brings to the carry.
Tell Us About the Item
Send photos, approximate dimensions, both addresses and the access at each end. Include stairs, lifts, narrow doors and the proposed truck position. Request a quote or contact us if you want to talk through a single item or small load.

What customers are saying
Great service. Had 16 boxes of crystal and porcelain figurines shipped interstate without even one breakage.
Dealing with Royal Sydney Removals was nothing short of amazing. They were friendly and easy to deal with and took great care of our belonging. I found them to be honest and hardworking. I recommend Royal Sydney Removals for all local removal jobs as well as interstate moving. They are professionals in packing, unpacking, junk removal and assemble furniture (which was so great).
I highly recommend them! They were professional and very efficient. We have moved a few times in the last eight years, and they are the best removalist company we have dealt with.
Antique moving questions, answered
How do you work out the cost of an antique move?
An antique moved within Sydney is charged by time at the half-hour rate for the truck we send; careful wrapping and awkward access simply add blocks. Any packing you book with us is agreed as part of the quote.
Can you move one antique or a small fragile load?
Yes. We welcome single-item and small-load enquiries as well as full household moves.
Do you move china, artwork and heirlooms?
Yes. Include every fragile or specialty item in your inventory and tell us which pieces need packing.
What should I photograph before moving day?
Photograph each piece, existing marks, fragile areas and the access route at both addresses.
Can I ask about insurance for valuable antiques?
Yes. We will explain the available options, but you should check the applicable terms before choosing one.
