Specialist insurance for works of art

Fine art insurance can be added to an existing insurance policy, or bought separately as a standalone cover via your broker. We can protect fine art whether it is contemporary or classic, an individual item or a collection, as long as it is something which could be bought and sold at a reputable auction house. 

More than just an insurer

Our specialist fine art policy caters specifically for high value, rare and unique items, so you can be sure nothing is left to chance. Because of our expertise, we can offer more than just insurance. Just some of the items we can cover are; paintings, jewellery, regalia, ceramics, glass and metal ware, sculptures, furniture, textiles and tapestries, gold and silver items and antiques.
