As to the rolled items, do not count on their being a coat closet. Many aircraft no longer have them.

For the larger items, air cargo. That is not checked luggage, but an entirely separate operation and is typically handled by an air freight forwarder. There are some which specialize in art work. They will deal with proper crating, shipping, and Customs.
