Antique & Art Collection Storage Services

Specialist Art and Antique Storage Solutions

Your most valuable possessions are often your most fragile, whether that’s fine art, mid-century furniture, antique sculptures or historic books. Regular storage containers and self-storage facilities aren’t equipped for the precision protection these items need, which is where Abels comes in. Every item is wrapped in protective materials and carefully packed using purpose-built crates, so there’s no room for error.

Storage for Every Occasion, Climate-Controlled to Museum Standards

Whether you’re moving house, renovating, or simply short of space for a fragile book or fine china collection, our storage is suited to any occasion, for any length of time. Light exposure can permanently fade paintings, textiles and works on paper, so our climate-controlled storage follows museum conservation guidance such as the Bizot Green Protocol, keeping relative humidity within 40-60% and temperature between roughly 16°C and 25°C, well away from the swings of a garage, attic or spare room.

A very calm and stress-free move

Professional, responsive, courteous and careful – we just had a very calm and stress-free move using Abels and would not hesitate to recommend them. Every interaction I had with the people in the office and the movers was positive. Thank you Abels for making what is a stressful event, moving house, a very easy day!

Kate Gallaway

Exceeded our expectations

From the initial survey and discussions to the delivery of our contents and life in boxes was exceptional, outstanding. Everything exceeded our expectations. A fabulous team who are worthy of much praise. Thank you so much for making our move as stress free as was possible. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail was exemplary.

Annie

Skilled, committed, and cheerful moving team

I have used Abels three times in the last 12 months. To help pack and move the contents of a small house into storage, then to deliver from storage to a new flat and this week to pick up a sofa bed and deliver it to me.
Each time the Abels’ team has been skilled ( their packing is fantastic), careful, committed to high standards, and always cheerful.
