The following are artists we see often and consider blue chip artists. We accept many others as art loan collateral, too, but these are among the most popular:

• Banksy art
• Damien Hirst art
• Roy Lichtenstein art
• David Hockney art
• Andy Warhol art
• Raoul Dufy art
• Marc Chagall art
• Tracey Emin art
• Pablo Picasso art
• Sean Scully art
• Tom Wesselmann art
• Claude Monet art

If you are lucky enough to own a piece of fine art, it can often form the rare dual function as an asset and a source of pleasure. However, problems can arise in having such a non-liquid form of wealth and the need for a fast loan may arise, such as a sudden business opportunity or house renovation. Fine art collectors are often reluctant to sell a unique piece that brings them joy, increasing in value and hard to replace. Therefore, a loan against their fine art is often the most suitable option.

We primarily lend against flat fine art, such as paintings and sketches. We don’t offer loans against sculptures.

The value of these is estimated based on the piece, style, period, condition, recent comparable sale records and provenance.

We offer loans from £500 up to £2 million on luxury assets, but our minimum loan threshold for fine art is £20,000. We always aim to provide our clients with the maximum loan amount though the amount depends on many factors, including the artist, piece, provenance, condition and current market value.

Yes. If you decide you don’t want to pawn your fine art, we offer a sale advance product for high value fine art collectors who are looking to sell but raise funds immediately. Get a quote with us online, in-store or by phone today.
