Having a quilt appraised--
I Have had a quilt appraised and the form I got back from the appraiser indicated not only a value, but also the criteria that was used in determining the value for insurance purposes. By getting it appraised I now have a documented value for that particular quilt should it ever be lost, damaged, stolen, destroyed etc. in shipping, while on display or even while stored at my home studio. Otherwise the only thing I could hope to recover in the event of a loss would be the cost of the materials.
