What we cover

The policy covers all manner of timepieces, long case clocks, barometers, carriage and mantel clocks, antique scientific instruments and mechanical devices (excluding mechanical toys).

Hiscox Insurance for Ceramics gives you proper and cost-effective cover. You won’t even have to go through the time-consuming chore of itemising and valuing every piece in your collection.

We know that some items, perhaps bearing a unique inscription and provenance, are virtually irreplaceable. If loss or damage occurs, we undertake to do our best to make the most appropriate reparation.

Whether your collection is comprised of classical or contemporary sculpture made of fired clay, stone, marble and non-precious metal, Hiscox have the ideal insurance policy for you.
