Sterling Insurance is launching a partnership with Connoisseur Policies Ltd to provide specialist cover for antique dealers, art dealers and auctioneers.
The partnership is supported by a new antiques and fine arts insurance policy underwritten by Sterling Insurance. This policy contains all risks as standard and property damage including defective title cover up to £20,000.
Stock and trade contents is covered for any exhibition, trade fair or whilst in transit. The cover includes full theft, which also applies while the premises are open for business. An additional package provides ‘crisis containment’ cover and insures against website hackers.
Connoisseur Policies is a subsidiary and appointed representative of Anthony Wakefield and Co, one of the UK’s leading fine art insurance brokers.
John Wakefield, director of Connoisseur Policies, said “Art dealers and auctioneers are a very discerning market and we have worked with Sterling to ensure the policy meets the very high standards of this client base. This policy is a modern and up-to-date insurance providing very attractive levels of cover to this important market segment.”
Kevin Donoghue, head of commercial at Sterling Insurance, said: “We are delighted to have been selected by Connoisseur. We feel that the strength of our offering matches their dedication to providing this market with a carefully tailored product backed up with the highest service levels.”
The policy is available to purchase through Connoisseur Underwriting with immediate effect.
