The Art of the Tube

To ensure maximum protection during international transit, paintings are typically shipped unframed and carefully rolled in heavy-duty, moisture-sealed protective tubes. This is the global industry standard for high-value fine art, significantly reducing the risk of structural damage and optimizing logistics costs.

Each piece is layered between acid-free glassine paper, preventing any contact with the tube's interior and preserving the integrity of the pigments and canvas.

Full Insurance & Tracking

Every acquisition is fully insured for its declared value from the moment it leaves our gallery in Kathmandu until it reaches your door. We partner with specialized art couriers including UPS, DHL, and FedEx to provide end-to-end tracking.

A gallery representative monitors every shipment daily, providing you with real-time updates and ensuring a smooth clearance through international customs.

Custom Crating & Large Masterworks

For framed works and oversized paintings, we utilize custom-built ISPM-15 certified wooden crates. These crates are engineered to withstand the rigors of international air freight, featuring internal shock-absorption and climate-stabilizing linings.

Oversized masterworks may require specialized cargo handling. Our team coordinates all aspects of specialized transit, including specialized airport-to-door delivery vehicles.

Global Reach, Local Care.

Our global logistics team manages all export taxes and documentation on your behalf, ensuring your artwork leaves Nepal securely. Please note that the Buyer is responsible for all local customs and import taxes applied by the destination country.

For Our Local Collectors

Collectors within the Kathmandu Valley enjoy complimentary white-glove hand-delivery. Our team will personally bring the artwork to your home or office, ensuring it is placed exactly where you desire.

Alternatively, we invite you to visit our main gallery in Patan for a private viewing and personal collection. We offer traditional silk wrapping and custom packaging for local transport to ensure your acquisition stays protected.

Customs & Duties

While we handle all export documentation from Nepal, international shipments may be subject to import duties or taxes depending on your destination country. The Buyer is responsible for all local customs and import taxes.
