Colonial antiques & heirlooms
Genuine colonial-era furniture, inherited pieces, and Ipswich antiques are individually wrapped with archival materials and handled with the care appropriate for items of historical value.
Ipswich homes are among the most historically significant in New England — and the belongings inside deserve moving care that honors that significance.
Ipswich has been continuously inhabited since 1634 and is home to more intact 17th and 18th century structures than any other town in America. The antiques, colonial furniture, and inherited pieces found in these homes require a mover who understands their value — both financial and historical.
Our white glove moving service in Ipswich begins with a pre-move assessment, proceeds with full floor and wall protection, and treats every item with museum-level care from the first lift to the final placement.
