Our comprehensive marquetry insurance policy provides multiple layers of protection tailored specifically for your trade:
The intricate nature of marquetry work presents unique risks that generic business insurance simply doesn’t address. Consider the specific hazards you face: working with irreplaceable materials and priceless antiques, using extremely sharp tools and specialist adhesives, handling clients’ valuable possessions, and creating work where the smallest error could result in significant financial loss.
Imagine you’re commissioned to restore marquetry on an 18th-century escritoire. Despite your expertise, moisture damage occurs during restoration, or a veneer lifts unexpectedly, damaging the original surface beneath. Without proper insurance, you could face substantial compensation claims that could devastate your business. Our specialist marquetry insurance ensures you can take on prestigious projects with complete confidence.
Insurance costs vary based on several factors, but our policies start from just £55 per year for sole traders. The final premium depends on your business size, annual turnover, claims history, value of work undertaken, and the specific covers you require. Specialists working on high-value antiques or museum pieces may pay more than those focusing on contemporary work.
We provide instant online quotes that show all costs upfront to give you complete transparency. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—just straightforward, affordable protection for your marquetry business.

Beyond our automatic covers, several optional protections are particularly relevant to marquetry work:
Yes, our marquetry insurance can cover restoration work on antique pieces. This is particularly important given the high value and irreplaceable nature of many items you’ll work on. We recommend adding professional indemnity insurance to your policy if restoration forms a significant part of your work. This provides additional protection against claims that your work has affected an item’s value or authenticity.
Absolutely. When transporting valuable veneers, completed work, or clients’ pieces, you need protection against damage or theft during transit. Our optional covers can include goods in transit insurance, ensuring you’re covered whether collecting rare materials from suppliers or delivering a finished commission to a client.
Our standard policy includes worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada). This means if you’re invited to work on a project in France or demonstrate your skills at an Italian furniture fair, you’re still protected. We can arrange extended coverage for longer international projects to suit your needs.
