The Talbot Advantage

A Fresh Approach

Fine Art & Specie is underwritten at Talbot by an enthusiastic, experienced and proactive team. Since every risk in the class is different, we engage with brokers to learn precisely what clients need and then tailor cover accordingly.

Hand-crafted cover

Talbot’s class leading, international Fine Art & Specie team review each client’s requirements to ensure our product fits their risk profile and delivers coverage to match their particular situation. We are transparent and responsive at every step.

A technical approach

We believe the ability to garner a sophisticated view of any Fine Art or Specie risk is as much science as it is art. Our technical and specialist approach thrives on data and details to get coverage right. We ask questions that others may not, to ensure optimal coverage.

Claims excellence

We have dedicated Fine Art & Specie claims experts in London and access to a worldwide network of conservators, appraisers and adjusters. We can also utilise the skilled expertise of AIG’s Marine claims team and risk management capabilities. 

Adding value

Talbot’s technical, adaptable approach to Fine Art & Specie risks provides brokers and clients with the full suite of market expertise. The questions we ask give confidence that clients’ risks are being properly analysed and understood, and therefore that the coverage they buy is always fit for purpose.
