Client Record

The Collectors,
Executors & Underwriters

2,400+ pieces currently in climate-controlled storage.
Zero insurance exclusions since 2019.
GALLERY · 38 PIECES
"We moved thirty-eight pieces from a gallery back-room after our humidity readings hit 72% in August. Vault's conditions reports allowed us to reinstate the policy within a week of transfer."

Margaret Ellsworth

Director · Ellsworth & Partners Gallery, New York

ESTATE · 4 MONTHS PROBATE
"The estate held four Biedermeier cabinets and a set of Meissen that couldn't be moved to any of the beneficiaries for eleven months. Knowing the temperature hadn't deviated 0.8°C in that entire period made probate bearable."

Thomas Whitfield

Estate Executor · Whitfield & Crane LLP, Connecticut

INSURER · 7-FIGURE POLICIES
"I underwrite fine art above $2M. Vault is the only non-museum facility whose sensor logs I accept without requesting an independent survey. That saves my clients three weeks and considerable fees."

Isabelle Fontaine

Senior Underwriter · AXA Art Insurance, London

COLLECTOR · ROTATING RESIDENCES
"Between the Tribeca apartment and the Bridgehampton house, the Rothko needed somewhere that wasn't either. Vault felt like the only sensible answer."
