A Hundred Pieces of Crystal, One Careful Plan
Chandeliers are the most fragile large objects in any home — crystal, thin metal arms, and wiring, suspended overhead. Grand Moving handles de-installation coordination, piece-level packing, and crating.
Why This Matters
There Is No Such Thing as Wrapping a Chandelier Whole
The mistake that destroys chandeliers is treating them as single objects. A fixture with dozens of crystals, delicate arms, and decades-old wiring cannot be blanket-wrapped and carried — crystals chip against each other, arms bend under their own leverage, and finials vanish into moving blankets forever. Proper chandelier moving is disassembly: crystals removed and packed individually in padded compartments, arms protected or detached, the frame cradled in a custom crate, and every component labeled against a photographic map so reassembly is exact.
The Grand Standard
What This Service Includes
Electrician Coordination
We schedule licensed electricians for de-installation and reinstallation, or work with yours.
Photographic Mapping
The fixture is photographed from all angles before disassembly so reassembly is precise.
Crystal-by-Crystal Packing
Each crystal, prism, and finial packed in padded compartments — never loose.
Custom Frame Crating
Frames suspended or cradled in built-to-fit crates that keep weight off arms.
Component Inventory
Every piece logged so nothing is missing when the fixture is rehung.
Antique Fixture Care
Extra protocols for fragile wiring, gilt finishes, and irreplaceable period fixtures.
