Quilt Appraisals

Types of Appraisals

.....................

Insurance Replacement

Provides a value for insurance purposes in the event of loss. The value reflects the cost to replace the quilt with another of like and kind, considering age, quality, and characteristics.

  • Antique quilts: replacement cost
  • Contemporary quilts: reproduction or replacement cost
  • May include consideration of provenance, awards, publications, and maker recognition

Fair Market Value (For Sale)

Determines a realistic selling price based on current market conditions.


This reflects the price at which a quilt would change hands between a willing buyer and seller, both informed and under no pressure to act.

Donation/ Estate Appraisal

Used for tax, donation, and estate purposes.


Value is based on fair market value at the time of donation or distribution and may be used for IRS documentation or estate planning.


Timing requirements may apply for tax-related appraisals.
