art objects
Decorative creative works
Art objects are items valued primarily for their aesthetic or artistic qualities rather than practical function.
The term encompasses sculptures, paintings, ceramics, and decorative pieces—things displayed rather than used.
In legal and insurance contexts, art objects often appear as a category requiring special valuation: The policy covers art objects up to $50,000.
The phrase sometimes carries a whiff of pretension, distancing such items from ordinary possessions.
