Collector insurance

What most policies miss

• Per-item caps. Many policies treat the collection as "contents" with a per-item ceiling around KWD 300 — well below a typical limited-edition unit.
• Display-case damage. A toppled case mid-cleaning isn't covered by most fire/theft policies. You need an accidental-damage rider.
• Provenance loss. If the certificate of authenticity is destroyed but the model survives, the insurer often pays out resale value, not replacement value. The two diverge sharply for low-edition units.
• Transit between residences. Moving the collection from one home to another typically falls outside standard home-contents cover.

What to ask for

Look for an itemised valuables schedule: each model listed with its serial / edition number and our original invoice. Most Gulf insurers will accept our invoice as proof of value. Pair that with an accidental-damage rider and you are covered for the realistic failure modes — drops, falls, mid-move loss.

Documentation we provide

Every order ships with a PDF invoice that includes serial numbers, edition counts where applicable, studio name, and the invoice total — exactly what an insurer needs to schedule the piece. If you need an aggregated PDF for the whole collection, email [email protected] with your account email and we will generate one within 48 hours.

Providers we've seen handle this well

We don't earn commission and we don't formally recommend. That said, customers report good experiences with valuables schedules from AXA Gulf, Gulf Insurance Group, and Warba Insurance. International collectors often go with Hiscox or AXA Art for higher-value collections.
