Fine Art and Specie Insurance

Helping to secure the value of precious goods

The ownership of high value goods also comes with the challenge of both retaining and maintaining these items. Any damage or loss can have major financial repercussions on their collective worth. That’s why Travelers offers insurance policies that provide worldwide coverage for cash, securities, precious stones, bullion, precious metals, paintings and fine art.

Our underwriting is founded upon specialist industry knowledge, and we work closely with policyholders and surveyors to enhance risk management, safety management systems and quality assurance. From the largest museum to the smallest private collector, from the major banks to the smallest bureau de change, we help to protect the value of fine art and specie.
