Antique and Fine Art Removals Oxford

Specialist care for valuable and fragile items since 1824

Antiques, fine art and family heirlooms deserve more than a standard removal. AG Jacob & Sons has been trusted with Oxfordshire’s most precious belongings for generations, and our team knows how to pack, protect and transport items that are valuable, fragile or simply irreplaceable. Whether it is a single painting or an entire collection, we treat every piece with the care it deserves.

Specialist packing and custom crates

The right protection starts with the right packing. We use quality materials chosen to suit each item, from acid-free wrapping for delicate surfaces to padded protection and bespoke wooden crates built around individual pieces. Mirrors, paintings, ceramics and sculpture each have their own needs, and we plan for them before we lift a thing.

What we move

Our team has handled all kinds of valuable and awkward items over the years, including:

  • Paintings, prints and framed artwork
  • Antique furniture and cabinets
  • Grandfather and mantel clocks
  • Porcelain, ceramics and glassware
  • Sculpture and bronzes
  • Mirrors and chandeliers
  • Complete collections and estate contents

If you have something unusual, just ask. After more than 190 years, very little surprises us.

Insurance and valuation for high-value items

When you are moving items of real worth, insurance matters. Your belongings are fully insured in transit, and for high-value pieces we will talk through the cover and any valuation needed before we begin, so you know exactly how your collection is protected. We make the terms clear and easy to understand, with no surprises.

Condition records and inventory

For valuable items we keep a careful record. We can document the condition of pieces before they travel and inventory everything as it is packed and loaded, so you have a clear account of what was moved and the state it was in. It is a simple step that gives real peace of mind.

Who we help

We work with private owners, collectors, interior designers, auction houses, galleries and estates across Oxfordshire. Whether you are rearranging a single special piece, moving house with a lifetime of antiques, or relocating a collection, we tailor the job to what you need.

Local knowledge that protects your belongings

Oxford and its surrounding towns are full of period homes, listed buildings, narrow streets and tricky access. Our team knows the area well and plans every move around the realities of the property, so your antiques are protected from the front door to the final destination.
