Hanover Insurance Art & Collections

Hanover Platinum® — agreed-value personal collections for HNW clients who want a single carrier for home and collections.

About Hanover

A Unified HNW Package Built Around Agreed Value

The Hanover Insurance Group is a mid-market property and casualty insurer with strong admitted market presence across the northeastern United States and growing national reach. Its Hanover Platinum® product represents the company's premium HNW offering — a comprehensive personal lines package that integrates homeowners, personal collections (including fine art, jewelry, wine, and antiques), personal auto, and personal liability into a single unified solution. For established collectors who also want their primary and secondary residences covered by the same carrier, Hanover Platinum® provides the simplicity of a single relationship without sacrificing the coverage breadth that HNW households require.

The collections component of Hanover Platinum® is built on agreed value throughout — no depreciation applies at claim time for scheduled personal articles, and blanket programs are available for collections that are too diverse or dynamic to schedule item by item. The program handles fine art, jewelry, wine, silverware, antiques, and other high-value personal property within a single policy structure, which simplifies annual renewals, eliminates the risk of coverage gaps between separate policies, and provides a unified claims contact when a loss occurs involving multiple categories simultaneously.

Hanover's independent agent network is the delivery mechanism for Platinum® — the product is not available direct or through captive agents. For collectors who have a long-standing relationship with an independent agent and value that professional relationship, Hanover Platinum® is designed to be accessed exactly that way. BestArt Insurance works within Hanover's independent agent distribution model to provide clients with the benefits of a specialist broker overlay — ensuring that the program terms, coverage structure, and pricing are appropriate for the specific collection being insured.

Is Hanover Platinum® Right for Your Collection?

Understanding where Hanover excels — and where another carrier may serve you better.

Ideal Collector Profile

  • HNW collectors who want home and collections integrated under one carrier
  • Those who value single-renewal simplicity for a complex household risk profile
  • Collectors working with an established independent agent who writes Hanover
  • Those with fine art, jewelry, wine, and antiques as multiple collection categories
  • Clients in states where Hanover has strong admitted market presence

May Not Be the Best Fit

  • Collectors with extremely high-value collections requiring the deepest specialty market terms (Chubb or Markel may provide more competitive capacity)
  • Those focused exclusively on hobby collectibles (stamps, coins, sports cards)
  • Collectors whose primary concern is global transit and international coverage

BestArt's Access to Hanover Platinum®

BestArt Insurance works within Hanover's independent agent distribution model to access Hanover Platinum® for collectors who want the integration of home and collections under one carrier. We present collections as part of a complete household account — which is how Hanover Platinum® is designed to be underwritten — and ensure that the collections component is structured with appropriate agreed values, blanket coverage where needed, and scheduled items for the highest-value individual pieces. For collectors who want the simplicity of a single carrier and the assurance of a specialist broker, BestArt bridges both.
