Antique Quilt Appraisals |
Do you have a special quilt you would like to have examined by a quilt appraiser? You may have an undiscovered treasure! Betsey is qualified to provide professional appraisals for quilts dating from 1780 through the 1950’s. Written appraisals appropriate for insurance purposes include photographs, a full description of the quilt, the fair market value and insurance value, all signed and dated by Betsey. Hints on how best to display your treasure are also happily offered! Written appraisals start at $150* per quilt, plus the cost of shipping and insurance back to you.
If you are planning to visit the shop and would like a verbal appraisal, Betsey would be happy to tell you all about your quilt while you record the information. A verbal appraisal costs from $60 - $75, but please keep in mind that verbal appraisals can not be used for insurance purposes. However, Betsey will tell you all the information she would include in a written appraisal, so verbal appraisals are perfect for your own personal knowledge. Please call and make an appointment if you would like a verbal appraisal so Betsey can give you her full attention! Please understand that any professional quilt appraisers would need to see your quilt in person. An accurate appraisal can not be attempted without having your quilt in Betsey’s hands. It is not possible for Betsey to judge the quilt’s overall condition and accurately date and value the piece from a photograph. Fabric wear, style of piecing and quilting, types of thread used, original work vs. possible repairs made at a later date; these variables all require close eye inspection. Please follow the instructions below if you choose to ship your quilt:
