Are old handmade quilts worth money?
1 Answer
Yes, some old handmade quilts are worth money. Age is one of the determining factors when pricing handmade quilts, and antiques produced 100 years ago or more may be worth more than vintage and contemporary quilts. Other factors contributing to a quilt's potential value include the materials, maker, size and condition. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can be helpful when attempting to evaluate a quilt. On 1stDibs, find a range of quilts.
