High-End Art & Antiques

Valuable art and antiques are hard to value, easy to damage and at risk whenever they are stored, shipped or shown.

Coverage to consider

Agreed value comes first, then restoration, storage, transit and display.

Valuation

Restoration
May pay to restore a damaged or deteriorating valuable to its condition before the loss.
Can include damaged valuable items and items deteriorating over time
Storage
Typically protects belongings in a storage facility against fire, water damage, theft, vandalism and natural disaster.

Transit

Fine art
Can cover paintings, sculptures and collectibles against damage, theft or loss at home, on display or in shipment.
