Help!!! Damaged Banksy, by burly on Oct 21, 2008 15:44:52 GMT 1, I am absolutely gutted, my Queen Vic has been hanging on my wall for the last 4 years and I came home last night and it had fallen off, the glass had smashed and it has left a 6 inch surface scratch on the print. Does anyone know what I can do or know if there are any restoration places out there that deal with such pieces?

Gutted for you
Insurance will hopefully cover this?

Help!!! Damaged Banksy, by Pattycakes on Oct 21, 2008 16:15:14 GMT 1, If you're insured, claim full insurance, as even restored it'll be worth 50% of a good one at best!
I'd suggest you contact an auction house, such as Bonham's or Bloomsbury, they can provide you with an letter for insurance giving the value if perfect and if damaged.
They migh charge for this but it'll be worth it, your insurance valuers will require it. What you need to remember is that the price you quote for insurance is full retail, so go for the Andipa price, as that is what it would cost you to buy one today effectively, eBay prices are not something you want to get involved with
good luck

Help!!! Damaged Banksy, by silvermyn on Oct 21, 2008 16:22:31 GMT 1, Bugger!!!
Lesson to be learned here: make sure your print is securely attached to the wall and put lots of pillows under it just in case. I'm going check my colour Trolleys tonight now I've seen this.
