 | We insure owners of objects in any active category of collecting, from fine art masterpieces to emerging collectibles such as 1950s and 1960s toys, furniture and memorabilia. If there is a market for collecting, we'll figure out how to provide coverage. We insure the entire range of collectors, from the first-time purchaser of a relatively modest piece to the holdings of great museums, traveling blockbuster exhibitions and personal arts and crafts collections. Our coverage is broad, all-risk and worldwide. We understand the risks of moving, storage and handling and will happily provide coverage to keep clients protected as their valuables travel. Our insurance coverage is tailor-made to a vast range of circumstances. Three examples: Its term can be as short as a day or as long as several years. It can be individual or contain several forms of blanket coverage. It can insure an agreed-upon value or use current-market valuation. We'll be happy to provide details. We can offer immediate, binding coverage to our brokers over the telephone, depending on the information we receive. Plus, all of our existing policies provide automatic coverage for newly acquired property valued up to a specified limit, usually 25 percent of the amount insured, and art owned by others in the insured's care under the same limit. There is more: Coverage generally includes payment for a variety of additional losses collectors will be pleased to have, including preparing loss inventory, various electronic media losses (Internet art buying), and art reference library losses.  |
