LONDON—If you've been lying awake at night wondering how to insure your art, homes, cars, jewelry, and travel and legal expenses all in one tidy, streamlined policy, Christie's has the answer for you.

The London-based auction house has announced a new insurance service, created in collaboration with Heath Lambert auction house and Chubb insurers, that will allow its clients to avoid paying multiple premiums with different renewal dates for all of those possessions.
