Antique Movers in Atlanta, GA

Antiques and heirlooms aren't replaceable, so they aren't moved like ordinary furniture. LIOO's crews blanket-wrap, pad, and secure fragile and high-value pieces — assessed in advance for weight, access, and the safest way to carry them.

Quick answer

Antique moving is careful handling built into a regular move: the same licensed crew that moves your home wraps and pads fragile heirlooms, plans the route through doorways and stairs, and carries them slowly and by hand. LIOO moves antiques across metro Atlanta at an hourly rate, with delicate or heavy pieces assessed in advance for the right crew and protection.

Antiques and heirlooms we move

Antique case furniture — dressers, armoires, secretaries, and china cabinets; drawers and loose shelves are secured or removed and wrapped separately.
Grandfather & mantel clocks — weights, pendulum, and chimes are stabilized before the case is padded and carried upright.
Mirrors, framed art, and glass — corner-protected, wrapped, and moved on edge so nothing flexes or cracks.
Marble tops, stone, and curios — heavy or brittle tops travel separately from their bases, padded and flat.
Fine and vintage pieces — anything old, delicate, or sentimental that shouldn't be stacked or rushed.

Antiques are part of our broader furniture moving work, so heirlooms can move with the rest of your household in a single job.

How we protect antiques

Assess first. We confirm the fragile and high-value pieces, their weight, and the path — doorways, tight turns, and stairs — before the crew arrives, so the right people and materials are on the job.
Wrap and pad. Pieces are blanket-wrapped and corner-protected; glass, mirrors, and marble tops are wrapped and moved separately; loose parts are secured so nothing shifts.
Carry by hand, as a team. Delicate and heavy antiques are carried deliberately by the right number of movers — not dragged, stacked, or rushed through a doorway.
Place and unwrap. We set each piece where you want it and unwrap it, so you can check it before we leave.

For an especially valuable or fragile piece, tell us in advance — some heirlooms are best moved on their own trip or with extra materials, and we'd rather plan it than improvise on move day.

What antique moving costs in Atlanta

Antique moving is billed at LIOO's all-inclusive hourly rate — from $160/hour, crew, truck, pads, and protection included — on the actual time worked, with a 2.5-hour minimum. There's no flat "antique fee"; what moves the price is the care and access involved:

Fragility and size — heavy or delicate pieces need more hands and more careful wrapping time.
Access — stairs, tight doorways, and long carries add time on both ends.
Distance — mostly relevant when the move crosses I-285 or goes long-distance.

You get the hourly rate and an honest time estimate before you book — see the Atlanta moving cost guide. Every piece is covered by released valuation at $0.60/lb, with full-value protection available for higher-value antiques.

Antique moving FAQ

How do you protect a fragile antique?+

Each piece is blanket-wrapped and corner-protected; glass, mirrors, and marble tops are wrapped and carried separately. Delicate pieces are carried by hand by the right-size crew and never stacked or dragged. We assess the fragile items and the path in advance.

Can you move antiques with the rest of my furniture?+

Yes. Heirlooms can move as part of a full household or apartment move in a single job — just flag the fragile and valuable pieces when you request your quote so we plan the crew and materials.

What about very valuable pieces — are they insured?+

Every item is covered by released valuation at $0.60 per pound by default, and full-value protection is available for higher-value antiques. Tell us about any high-value piece in advance so we can plan the right protection and coverage.

Do you move grandfather clocks and china cabinets?+

Yes. Grandfather clocks have their weights and pendulum stabilized before the case is padded and carried upright; china cabinets have glass and loose shelves removed or secured and wrapped separately.

How much does it cost to move antiques?+

It's billed at our all-inclusive hourly rate on actual time worked, with a 2.5-hour minimum. The main factors are the fragility and size of the pieces and the access at both ends. We give you the rate and a time estimate before you book.
