The collection
An inventory, photographs and purchase or valuation documents help describe individual pieces and the collection as a whole.
Personal advice
Careful attention to every piece.
A single painting or a collection built over years: good advice begins with knowing what you own and where it is kept.
We discuss the works, their documented value and any planned movements. This helps us review insurance options with the detail a collection deserves.
What we discuss
Location & display
At home, in storage or on display elsewhere: we discuss where each work is kept and the relevant arrangements.
Transport & loans
A move, exhibition or loan deserves a review before the work leaves its usual location.
Your proposal and policy documents set out the cover, insured amounts and conditions.
Keeping things up to date
As your collection grows.
A new acquisition, an updated valuation or a planned exhibition can change your requirements. Keep us informed so the insurance can be reviewed alongside the collection.

A few practical answers
Good to know.
Have a different question? We are happy to talk it through.
Ask us a questionDo I need a valuation?
The documents required depend on the work, its value and the insurer. Share the information you have; we will explain whether additional valuation evidence is needed.
Can I lend a work to an exhibition?
Contact us before arranging the loan or transport. We can review the exhibition, transport and loan arrangements and discuss the insurance requirements for that period.
What should I do after a new purchase?
Send us the details and documents as soon as possible. We will check how the new work should be recorded; do not assume it is automatically included in an existing policy.
