Are handmade quilts worth anything?

1 Answer
Are handmade quilts worth anything?
Yes, handmade quilts may be worth something. The value of quilts depends on their maker, age, style, complexity, size, condition and other factors. In 1991, a quilt produced during the American Civil War era known as the Reconciliation Quilt set a record when it sold for $264,000 at auction. If you own a handmade quilt and would like to find out how much it may be worth, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can be of assistance. Explore a collection of quilts on 1stDibs.
