Getting a loan against art or antiques is quick and straightforward:
- Tell us about your item. Provide details and, if available, an independent valuation. This helps us give you an initial estimate.
- Bring it in for a professional appraisal. Our expert team will assess your item’s condition, provenance, rarity, and market value. This ensures your loan reflects the true worth of your asset.
- Receive your funds. Like what you hear? Once the appraisal is complete, we can finalise your loan and transfer funds directly to your bank account – all while keeping the process confidential and hassle-free.
Security and peace of mind
Your items remain safe throughout the loan period. We store them in a high-security, monitored facility. Once you repay the loan plus agreed interest, your artwork or antiques are returned in the same condition.
Simply contact us and forward us a picture of the artwork or antique, along with as much information about the piece as you can give us. An expert will value the item, and this will determine the value of the loan we can offer. We’ll then make an initial offer on the phone.Getting a loan against art or antiques is quick and straightforward:

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR LOANS AGAINST ART AND ANTIQUES
Each item is carefully appraised by specialists to determine its current market value – not the original purchase price. Factors considered include:
- material, craftsmanship, and condition
- rarity and historical significance
- brand, artist, or maker
- accompanying provenance or documentation
Pawning is ideal if you want fast access to funds without parting with your asset permanently. You can reclaim your item once the loan and interest are repaid. Selling is suitable if you wish to permanently dispose of the item and achieve the highest possible price.
