Exceptional, specialist cover for your fine art

Artwork is one of the few insurable items that is likely to appreciate in value over time, so it is important that you are protected by a specialist policy that can accommodate its true worth. Ultimart incorporates many covers that your standard home contents insurance will very likely not do.

Please see our comparison chart below.
