Did you know that it is possible to protect your works of art thanks to the “works of art and collection” insurance?
Your artworks are part of your heritage, protect them by insuring them.
“Only 25% of works and collectibles would be insured, yet it seems to us that the game is worth the effort”
Some insurers have had specialized directions for a long time in the art and collections market (furniture, works of art, collection cars).
This is the case of AXA, Allianz, Generali, Hiscox, which are the main insurance companies in the market in this area.

Declared value or agreed value?
In order to avoid any conflict in the event of a disaster, we favor the valuation of the heritage collected in approved value by an expert.
Because these insurance are often technical, the procedures for setting up and activating benefits in the event of a claim being too long, calling a Broker is highly recommended to avoid the pitfalls.
