This Fitzroy to Manly antique sideboard delivery for Tombo Co (Fitzroy, VIC) involved a c.1900 Chinese red-lacquered elm sideboard—approximately 230 × 45 × 90 cm—bound for Manly, NSW. Red lacquer shows every mark, so we focused on control: fully wrapped in two blankets for protection (one extra due to length), a slow, level carry, a measured gateway turn with a brief stand on its end (blankets stayed on), and deliberate final placement to keep the cabinet square.
How we protect antiques (and designer pieces)
-
Plan the path: assess stairs, corners, tight halls, and parking distance before we lift.
-
Protect access points: temporary guards for doors, floors and walls.
-
Keep it level: long vintage joinery hates torsion—level carry prevents stress.
-
Precise placement: soft set-downs and micro-adjustments to finish cleanly.
