Does your Shop policy really have you covered?

Your Art Dealer/Gallery insurance should include:

1. A provision for the intrinsic artistic value of a piece.
   Not just the value of a canvas, oil paints or materials used and the purchase cost of the frame plinth or display in the event of a claim, as would happen with a shop policy.
2. Pay for loss of value if an artwork is damaged and repaired.
3. Pay for a specialist to restore works of art that can be repaired.
4. Cover your customers’ goods in trust (consignment sales). 
5. Have sound expertise within their claims teams when it comes to understanding values/damage.
