About Us

At California Art Delivery, we specialize in the meticulous transportation of high-end fine art, fine furnishings & luxury décor pieces. We offer blanket wrapped and white glove delivery services, ensuring every item is handled with the utmost care. We proudly serve private art collectors, galleries, art dealers, designers, auction houses, and fine furnishing and décor showrooms.

Chad Chapman is the owner of California Art Delivery. 25 years ago, it was founded by Lance Thompson under the name Lance's Delivery. Lance identified a niche in serving discerning clients throughout California. Specializing in fine art, antiques, luxury furnishings, and high-end décor, Lance's Delivery quickly became a trusted name in the industry.

In 2023, Chad Chapman joined the company, and by 2024, Chad transitioned to sole ownership. During this transition, Lance and Chad rebranded the business as California Art Delivery LLC. Chad is committed to preserving Lance's legacy, guided by the principle: "Treat every customer like it's their birthday."

If you have an item you need to transport within California, please contact us for a quote. We look forward to serving you.
