Do you prefer modernists or the great masters? Whatever your art preferences may be, we guarantee that you can truly enjoy your passion whilst being protected in every situation.
Insuring collections and artworks requires highly specialist skills. Foyer has formed a natural partnership with Hiscox, a private insurance company of world renown, which has developed a unique understanding of the risks associated with works of art and assets over more than 100 years.
Insuring works of art is different because, when a piece is lost, damaged or stolen, it can seldom be replaced due to its unique nature. However, the financial value of this investment can be protected with appropriate insurance such as “Fine Art”.
This insurance is suitable for all forms of art, from stamp collections to a series of paintings by Rubens or engravings, sculptures, objects and installations. We also insure rugs & carpets, manuscripts, valuable ceramics, wine and jewellery.
The value of a work of art fluctuates over time and you will not always be aware of the amount. We suggest that you have an appraisal done at the time of subscription to determine the agreed value of your item according to its history, rarity, etc. In that way the value of your item will be indisputable in the event of a claim and you will receive your compensation more quickly.
We offer immediate specialist intervention (appraisal, legal protection, transport, restoration, storage, security) to prevent or minimise risks in the event of a claim.
Partnership with IPARC, a service provider in the conservation and restoration of works of art. You will have access to a multi-disciplinary team specialising in research, analysis and collection maintenance.
Each new acquisition is automatically covered from the time of its acquisition up to a maximum of 25% of the total amount insured under your policy. You simply need to inform us of the acquisition within 60 days.
