Fine Art Transit Insurance
Rare objects and high-value artworks deserve the finest protection whilst in transit. Anthony Wakefield & Company offers specialist fine art transport insurance for individuals and companies involved in the antiques trade. Get peace of mind when purchasing commercial transit insurance from us.
Most fine art claims tend to happen while an artwork is in transit. Despite careful handling and packaging, damage is often unavoidable. This is why it is important to have the correct cover in place.
A bespoke policy for fine art and antique goods in transit is available through our website: transit2insure.com. You can insure consignments on a ‘pay as you go’ basis if you need temporary cover worldwide. Quotes can be obtained instantly, and payment can be taken by credit or debit card. No matter what time of day or day of the week, our website is available 24/7 for you to use.
What Does Transit Insurance Cover?
Our transit insurance covers antiques and fine art consignments sent to and from the United Kingdom for commercial clients. This policy is suitable to cover the antiques trade, such as antique dealers, artists and auctioneers, as well as organisations including fine art shippers and galleries.
When taking out this insurance, you are covered whilst in transit between your location and the destination or between a sender’s location and yours.
Our Transit insurance covers:
- Physical loss
- Damage
- Air, sea and road freight
To purchase valid insurance cover from us, you or the company or organisation you represent must be a commercial enterprise involved in either the antiques trade (dealer, centre, auctioneer, transport or shipping), fine arts (gallery, dealer, shipper, or artist), watchmaking or watch/clock repairs.
