Protecting Your Fine Art
When it comes to fine art collections insurance, it pays to talk to a specialist insurance broker. We understand how important it is to find the right fine art insurance to meet your specific requirements. Our fine art, antiques and collections insurance policies provide comprehensive coverage.
What is Fine Art?
Fine art includes anything bought and sold at a specialist auction. Examples of collectibles that we cover under a fine art policy might be:
- Snuff boxes made of precious metals
- Ancient coins
- Large canvasses
- Sculptures
- Antiques
- Wine and Spirits
You may need a fine art insurance policy if you own a unique item that would be difficult to replace. For example, artworks you lend to museums, exhibitions, or valuable items held in storage. Contact us to find out how we can cover your fine art collection with our fine art, antiques and collections insurance.

Tailored Cover for Your Collection
We offer bespoke insurance products for private art collections, corporate art collections and antique collections, including insurance cover for individual high-value items. Consider our fine art, antiques and collections insurance for comprehensive protection.
Private Collections
Our private collections policies, available with specialist insurers, are designed specifically to meet the needs of collectors. We offer cover on an agreed value basis, ensuring you receive the proper compensation if the worst should happen. We make it easy to find the right insurance. Our brokers can recommend valuers to you through our network, at your request.
If you need to claim, our insurers have access to specialist restorers as we understand that your collection is personal and should be salvaged if possible. Furthermore, our policies cover loss of value following damage so that you do not end up out of pocket.
Commercial Collections
Standard commercial cover often cannot protect businesses with large art collections in their workplaces. As a part of your risk management programme, we help you find specialist policies to protect your corporate collection, so that you can be confident that your business assets are properly protected.
We understand that you choose each piece to fit within your office’s aesthetic. Where possible, our insurers’ restorers will return the piece to nearly the same condition prior to the damage. We also consider any reduction in value so your business receives proper compensation.
Contact us to discuss your collection and, we will find the most suitable insurance policy for you.

Advice on Valuations
As a rule of thumb, experts recommend getting your precious items valued every three to five years to determine their correct value. This is also important for making sure you are not underinsured, which can lead to problems when claims arise. We can point you in the right direction to respected valuers. You can have them come to your home, visit their premises, or sometimes have a preliminary valuation online.

We can tailor your fine art & collections insurance to arrange cover on a worldwide basis (including accidental damage), so it covers your collection wherever it may be in the world.
