Our freight insurance covers goods transported globally by sea, air, rail and road, with tailored solutions that include All Risks of Physical Loss or Damage and/or Liability cover.

Private Collections and Family Trusts
Whether your collection includes paintings, sculptures or mixed‑media works, we provide comprehensive Fine Art insurance through specialist insurers who understand the unique nature of private collections.
Cover is typically arranged on an Agreed Value basis, ensuring that in the event of loss or damage, you receive the correct settlement. We can also extend protection to Objets d’Art, Antique Furniture and other valuable items.
Museums and Corporate Collections
Many museums, businesses and corporations hold valuable art collections that may not be adequately insured under standard buildings and contents policies, which often impose restrictive conditions or exclude high‑value items.
We arrange dedicated policies that offer the appropriate terms, conditions and security required to protect significant artworks on an annual basis. Where itemised valuation lists exist, cover is provided on an Agreed Value basis for accuracy and certainty.
