I am a collector of paintings by the great masters. How do you ensure the security of goods during storage?
At ESI Fine Arts, the safety of your valuable paintings during storage is our top priority. We have modern, functional facilities designed specifically for the storage of works of art.
Our warehouses, located near our offices, are equipped with remote surveillance systems, a secure entry/exit system, and a comprehensive smoke detection system operating 24 hours a day for maximum protection against fire, intrusion, and theft.
The storage of paintings is completely secure and handled with the utmost care.
The sculptures we wish to store for a few weeks are very sensitive to storage conditions. Are your storage facilities air-conditioned and humidity-controlled?
We are perfectly equipped to meet the specific needs of sculptures that are sensitive to climatic conditions: the contraction or expansion of wooden sculptures, corrosion and oxidation of metal works, the appearance of mold in stone sculptures, etc. Our expert technicians know how crucial it is to have precise temperature and humidity control in order to preserve your sculptures.
That is why our storage facilities are equipped with rigorous climate control, with fixed temperatures maintained within a well-defined range.
Humidity levels are constantly monitored and maintained at a predefined value by our art specialists. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that your sculptures will remain intact and well preserved for as long as they are stored in our warehouses.
