INSURANCE ​CONSULTANCY

🎨Are you an artist, collector, ​museum, gallery, auction house, ​exhibitor, or specialist shipper or ​packer looking to insure art and ​don't know which insurance policy ​is best?

☂️We can compare policies for ​you, get you cover quotes, and ​explain all the insurance terms so ​that you know exactly what is ​covered and what is not.

Damage ​Surveys

💔 In the unfortunate event that ​you have an Artccident, in order to ​claim on your insurance policy, a ​professional third party surveyor ​will need to inspect the damages ​sustained to the artwork and ​report the nature, extent, and ​cause of damage to the insurance ​company.

📸Your insurance policy contains ​details of the approved surveyor ​to appoint in case of damage, ​which can be us!

Condition ​Reports

📝 Condition reports should be ​treated as a priority for any piece ​of art on display, in storage, or in ​transit.

They can facilitate any claim of ​damage to artwork in transit.

Contact us today to get a ​professional condition report for ​the purpose of insuring your ​artworks or keeping an updated ​inventory. 💯

Claims ​Handling

📣Did your insured artwork get ​damaged and you want to claim ​on your insurance policy? The list ​of documents required by your ​insurer to substantiate your claim ​might seem overwhelming to you.

📑We are here to handle your ​claims process from start to end ​and help you submit a full claim to ​your insurer.

Transport & ​Storing

✈️Artworks are most vulnerable ​to damage when they are being ​moved, even over short distances. ​Once you have safely packed or ​crated your artwork, you need to ​ensure that they are transported ​through the right medium to ​reduce the risk of damage or loss ​during transit.

🏡As soon as artworks reach their ​final destination, they will either be ​on display or in storage. Should ​they be in storage, you need to ​pay attention to the temperature, ​humidity, and amount of light that ​will reach the artworks before ​storing them.

🌍We're here to guide you on the ​best ways to transport and store ​your art reducing risks of loss or ​damage.

PS: good storage conditions might ​reduce your insurance premium.

Packing & ​Crating

🎁Transporting artworks from one ​place to another, whether it is ​from one residence you own to ​another or being on loan to a ​gallery makes them vulnerable to ​damage. Damage can be due to ​rough or handling at any point ​during transit, bad weather or ​inadequate storage.

🚚You can not predict what ​damage might occur, but you sure ​can prevent most accidents of ​happening by choosing adequate ​packing and crating methods. We ​guide you on how to choose the ​most suitable packing/crating ​depending on your artwork, ​method of transport and ​destination.

📦We also provide tailor made ​wooden crates and packages ​made explicitly for transporting ​your artworks to ensure they arrive ​at their destination damage free. ​The crates are properly reinforced ​to facilitate the journey whether ​traveling via land, air, or sea ​freight.

PS: inadequate packing is never ​covered under an insurance ​policy!

Appraisals & ​Valuations

💸We know that your art is ​priceless, but if you want to insure ​it, you will be asked for a valuation ​report of what the piece is worth ​at the time of underwriting. You ​will also be asked for regular ​valuations as time goes by to ​ensure the whole worth of your ​piece is covered.

💰You might also be interested in ​knowing the worth of artworks ​you’ve inherited, which would be ​done by an Art Appraiser who will ​be an expert in the field.

🏷️We work with some of the best ​art appraisers and valuators in the ​world to get you the closest to an ​accurate value of your pieces.
