Shipping a grandfather clock is not the same as shipping an ordinary piece of furniture. These tall, carefully constructed timepieces contain sensitive mechanical parts, hanging weights, pendulums, glass panels, and finished wood surfaces that can be damaged if the clock is not properly prepared for transportation. Whether you are relocating, passing down a family heirloom, selling a clock to a collector, or sending an antique to an auction house, professional packing and shipping can help protect it throughout the journey.
