The first step in taking out a loan against fine art, rare art, or art collectibles is to book a private consultation with our New York valuation team. Our experts use appraisal documents, private-sale records, auction receipts, and other relevant documentation to come up with a fair secondary market value for your piece, and will make you a no-obligation loan offer right on the spot.

You can bring your art and associated documents to our office, or proceed with your collateral loan virtually. If you choose the latter, we’ll send you a free, fully insured shipping label so you can safely send your art to us for a valuation. Once you have your offer, you can decide to move forward right away and get an instant payout via cash, check, or money order – whatever works best for you.

Over the course of your loan, your art will be stored in a temperature-controlled, state-of-the-art vault in New York City’s International Gem Tower, and will be fully insured and protected by Lloyd’s of London. You’ll receive a prompt return of the piece(s) once your loan is repaid, with the option to extend the terms if you need a bit more time.
