When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight.
On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.
We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

A substantial portion of Maureen Visagé’s work portrays the innocence and wonder of children, especially girls. Girls are just magic, someone once told her when she was expecting her own. It is this magic that she loves to capture.
‘Little Dancer, Come Play With Us’ was inspired by Degas’s Little Dancer. This captivating bronze sculpture has been one of Maureen Visagé’s favourite artworks since she was very young. Out of her love for this work she grew her own little dancers.
The mischievousness of the bubblegum adds a quirky playfulness, evoking nostalgia for our own youthful days.
Maureen Visagé says creating her was an absolute joy, and she believes she represents the pinnacle of her work based on the little dancer.
