Frequently Asked Questions

While home or property insurance may include limited cover for art and valuables, it is generally designed to protect buildings and everyday contents, rather than the specific risks associated with fine art.

This facility provides specialist fine art insurance, with broader worldwide ’All Risks’ cover specifically tailored to artworks, including protection during transit, storage and loans to third parties, where appropriate. It also reflects the unique valuation, handling and conservation considerations of fine art, areas that are typically restricted or excluded under standard home insurance policies.

For collectors, this insurance facility ensures that artworks are insured on terms appropriate to their artistic, financial and cultural significance, rather than being treated as ordinary household contents.

Our integrated team of fine art claims specialists offers considered advice and guidance at critical moments.

With experience managing some of the most significant and complex fine art claims globally and supported by an international network of in‑house experts located around the world, including loss adjusters and forensic accountants, we are equipped to respond promptly and effectively to your needs when a claim arises.

Specie Insurance

Few things are as valuable as fine art, jewelry or specie (such as bullion or bank notes) and there are limited markets for insuring such risks. With the need for extremely high limits and operating flexibility, the importance of expertise in handling this type of exposure is clear.
