FINE ART FINANCE

Oliver Charles is proud to offer a range of financial services to premier collectors around the world. We source individualised financing solutions tailored to your unique financial needs, leveraging the expertise of our art finance relationships. We will organise a valuation to be conducted on your collection, using it as collateral to provide the financial flexibility you need.

With our lender access, loan-to-values can range from 20%-50% of the value of your art and other precious assets, do not require financial information or covenants, and closing the deal is usually completed in less than 30 days. This type of finance will come with associated costs and in some cases can be expensive dependant on the deal.

Please note that this type of finance cannot be used for a mortgage deposit.
