Art + specie
In an environment that is based on trust, damage to works of art or precious objects requires careful management by competent professionals.
What we do
Appraising works of art, valuables and jewellery requires technical skills of certified professionals who are authorised to carry out the most reliable approach and the most appropriate investigation for each claim — whether it be due to theft, loss, breakage, water damage or fire.
In addition to adjusting property damage, our experts are equipped to intervene before a claim takes place for prevention measures. We can establish insurance or sharing values, as well as audits of transport, theft, intrusion and malicious acts (contract guarantee, mechanical protection, electronic surveillance and detection, risk of fire, etc.).
Every day, our professional and private clients trust that Sedgwick can recommend and implement measures for prevention, preservation and restoration of their assets — whether they be of significant sentimental and/or financial value.
Agile prevention, preservation and restoration solutions by qualified and certified experts
Our experience
Pre-loss valuations
Prior to a loss, our experts can review and document the pieces of art or sentimental heirlooms to determine their value. This plays a significant role in the insurance policy by ensuring that in the event of a claim, property owners are compensated fairly. Our team is equipped to update insurers on changes or additions to the list of possessions.
Risk assessments and state of conservation status reports
Including large properties, museums, galleries, showrooms, and jewelry stores.
Appraisals
We appraise works of art, antiques and jewellery with the goal of determining their monetary value over a specified period of time.
Loss adjusting
Our experts, themselves from the art and precious objects community, know the issues at stake and act quickly to find effective solutions and measures to limit any harmful consequences.
Packaging and transport
Moving a valuable object often involves packing for transport and delivery in good conditions. Our experts work with a variety of specialists to assist this operation, coordinate steps and guarantee peace of mind both logistically and in terms of insurance coverage.
Restoring works of art
Because the value of a property is not only financial and replacement is often more expensive than restoration, Sedgwick works with a network of competent professionals regarding the authenticity of all valuables.
