In my home, we have 10-15 paintings made by my mother during her college days. I want to insure them with my home insurance -
- Is any insurance company provide coverage to Fine Art paintings under home insurance policy?
- Or need to buy a specialist insurance policy to cover Art Paintings?

You can cover them under Home Insurance. In some companies policies, the Fine Art Value should not be more than 20% of the combined sum insured of contents. So pls check with insurance company or check policy details.
