Antique Furniture and Clocks: Insuring Them at Home
Quick answer
Antique furniture and clocks are usually insured within high-value home contents, with significant pieces specified with a valuation. Owners often check whether the policy covers accidental damage, restoration costs, loss of value after repair and pairs or sets. Specialist insurers are generally more familiar with these items.
