How can you tell if a quilt is valuable?
1 Answer
To tell if a quilt is valuable, take its age, condition, style and maker into consideration. Antique handmade quilts in excellent condition tend to be worth the most, particularly if they have unique or complex designs. You can conduct online research using trusted resources to discover how much a quilt of similar quality has sold for previously. However, experts generally recommend having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with valuations because there can be a lot of variability in price based on subtle characteristics that can be difficult to identify on your own.
