An accurate evaluation is fundamental in ensuring the correct level of insurance cover.
Bigli Art Broker, through its affiliate Vasaris S.a.s (
www.vasaris.com) conducts valuations for insurance purposes accepted by all the major international insurance companies.
Estimates can be either for insurance contracts of “maximum foreseeable loss” (requiring an estimation of the value of goods),
or
after an accident or mishap has taken place, in order to evaluate the claim for damages.
Estimates for contracts of “maximum foreseeable loss” are a real indemnity which the insurance company is obliged to pay out in the event of an accident. It is therefore vital that such estimate is carried out by a recognised expert in the field.
If you need to insure artistic property or furniture in Italy or Switzerland, Bigli Art Broker has the experience and the know-how to provide reliable quotes.
An insurance quote is also a good occasion to reconsider the value of the property and to check and update the art historical information and descriptions.
The cost is calculated on a time-basis (travel, inspection, research) or otherwise a global fee to be agreed beforehand.
