WHY APPRAISE?
Many quiltmakers and collectors ask, “Why should I have my quilts appraised?” It is an important question to consider and it is answered with the following:
- To establish a replacement value for insurance purposes before a loss such as fire, flood, damage or disappearance occurs
- To meet your insurance company’s requirements for a “Fine Arts Floater”
- To be assured that your quilt has adequate insurance coverage while at a textile competition or exhibit.
- To provide a written record for your family.
- To determine fair market value for sale of quilt.
- To determine value for donation, gift or estate purposes (as required by the IRS).
Cost per quilt is $60. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED by emailing historicindianagencyhouse@gmail.com. or calling 608 742 6362 and leaving a call back number.
