For antique collectors and dealers, your prized possessions hold great sentimental and monetary value. When it comes to storing these treasured items, whether temporarily or long-term, it’s vital to keep them safe, secure and well looked after.

At SureStore, we understand the importance of protecting your antique furniture, collectables and heirlooms. Discover why our self-storage solutions are ideal for storing your antique treasures.

Avoid storing at home. Houses are prone to all sorts of problems, including damp, pests, mould and dust.

A garage is an idea many people jump to but something may fall onto the item after getting nudged. Garages are often full of chemicals like paint that could spoil the antique. If you think you’ll struggle to control the environment, don’t store your prized antique there.

Before you do anything, you must consider insurance. You should start the process by getting an estimate of the value of your antique. Once that’s done, take lots of photos from every possible angle, including close-ups. Then, conduct a thorough inventory of the antique, especially if there are multiple parts, including measurements and descriptions.

We can provide insurance during the quoting process for extra peace of mind. Learn more about our insurance options by getting in contact today.

As you begin the process of preparing your antique for storage, you’ll want to think about wrapping it in something. Bubble wrap or a sheet or felt are all good options. Different antiques will require a different way of wrapping. If there are fragile parts, for example, you may want to consider taking the antique apart and wrapping each individual piece.

There are also bespoke cardboard boxes designed for goods, such as wine, that you could use to keep items safe and secure.
