Damage to fine art: complex loss adjusting

Print, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, wines, musical instruments, etc… The term “fine art” encompasses a wide variety of artistic pieces that thrill individual collectors as well as simple art enthusiasts.

As with any other piece of furniture or equipment in a home, a piece of fine art is not immune from harm. Whether a painting by a master or an antique coin collection, these precious objects can be exposed to water damage, fire or theft.

If the object is no longer there – for example, if it was stolen or completely burned – it can be very difficult to assess the amount of compensation.

The insurer retains the services of a Stelliant loss adjuster, who has the specialised art training needed to do a reliable loss adjustment. Especially since the diversity of precious pieces on the art market requires a perfect understanding of a specific period, a specific artistic movement and its features.
