No keen collector enjoys contemplating the thought of losing a prized possessions, but unfortunately, an unpleasant aspect of collecting antiques today is the growing risk of burglary. One result of increasing number of art and antiques thefts is that most insurance companies now demand a professional written
valuation to cover objects worth more than a certain amount.
If you are beginning to buy antiques you will certainly know what each piece is worth, and whether you need a valuating. Remember, although a valuation will involve some expense, if you don't have your possessions valued you could find that in the event of burglary or accident, you are inadequately insured and unable to replace your property.
