Google as this was discussed last week. I used Greyhound twice
recently.

How big? How heavy? Can you crate it? Can it be knocked down for shipping?

I suggest you contact Thom Moser; they routinely ship quality
furniture coast-to-coast and may have some advice and referrals
for you.

I saw a crate built by Greg Smith, one of the faculty at College of the
Redwoods, for a cabinet called, I think, 'Honduras Rose'. This is an oval
cabinet, 30" high or so, and built to sufficient craftmanship to win "Best
of Show' at a pretty serious woodworkers' show last year. The crate was
virtually french fitted, and certainly the result of tens of hours of work,
and years of design skill, in itself.

But then, being a gallery and show piece, this crate gets reused many
times, and is part of the package, I would imagine, when this high-dollar
creation goes to its eventual collector-buyer.

(We have delicate, old furniture pieces in our collection, but none would
merit that kind of attention.)

Perhaps a call or visit to a local museum, university or gallery would be
in order. They would certainly be better equipped to know the local
resources available.
