Lamps can be extremely fragile and require extra care for storage. Whether for renovation or sale, knowing the proper packing techniques will prevent costly damage.
How to Pack Crystal Chandeliers?
To move and store an antique chandelier, you will need adequate packing. Very large pieces might require a custom wooden box to hang the lamp inside, preventing the crystals from clashing. In some cases, you must dismantle and individually wrap each crystal.
How to Pack Table or Floor Lamps?
Carefully disassemble the lamp parts, removing the bulb and the shade. Cover fragile ceramic or porcelain parts with bubble wrap. Lampshades should be filled and placed in a separate cardboard box to keep them protected from deformation.
Don’t Underestimate the FRAGILE Label
Properly label your boxes with a list of their contents. Use tape with the word FRAGILE or write it in large, clear letters. Also, always remember to place heavier items below the lighter boxes when storing them.
Pro Tip
For long-term storage, ensure you use a climate-controlled environment to protect your delicate lamps from extreme heat and humidity.
