How Much is a Handmade Patchwork Quilt?
Finding the Right Quilts for You
Antique, new and vintage quilts can add a welcome decorative dynamic to your space, whether they’re positioned as wall art in your bedroom (just as you might hang a tapestry) or draped over your side tables or the seating in your living room.
Quilts are a quintessential part of American folk art but their roots are international, with quilting dating back to Ancient Egypt. The practice spread to Europe and was especially prominent in the Middle Ages, with one of the oldest surviving examples being the Tristan quilt made in Sicily in the 14th century. They were made as bedcovers and clothing, including as a layer for knights to wear beneath their armor.
For early American colonists, quilts were a crucial source of warmth and comfort. In the 19th century, quilting was a popular activity for women to socialize and commemorate important events, such as weddings or the birth of a child. Distinctive regional variations developed, from the vibrant quilts made in the African-American community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, to Baltimore album quilts with beautifully appliquéd blocks.
If you’re looking to introduce an eye-catching flourish to a bedroom or living room, quilts provide a pop of color and texture to corners that might otherwise be difficult to decorate.
Find a wide range of vintage quilts made from materials like cotton, wool and silk on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Yes, 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024How much a handmade quilt is worth varies. The size, complexity, craftsmanship, age and materials all impact the value of quilts. Brand new contemporary quilts may cost around $25 to $100 per square foot, while antique quilts may sell for thousands of dollars. If you're looking to find out how much a particular antique quilt may be worth, consult a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Find a selection of handmade quilts on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Yes, 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.
