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."
