Your great grandfather’s size-of-a-Cadillac antique chandelier is a MUST take item with more value than anything else in the house. So how can one ensure the safe and sound transport? The most important factor is packing the items in their proper size and shape boxes. This can be challenging at times; especially for that 1800’s glass chandelier. One way to achieve a perfect fit is by cutting down ordinary packing boxes, found at most local hardware stores, in half and taping these pieces together to form a custom-shaped box can be a useful and cost effective strategy.
