Why Should I have my quilt appraised?
If a monetary settlement is important to your loss, an appraisal for your insurance company is necessary. This is a real asset for you and your agent to help speed up your recovery process. It also gives you a fair and deserved settlement.
More specifically, reasons for having your quilt appraised include:
- When your quilt is stolen or lost.
- When your quilt has received damage form a fire, flood or inadequate storage.
- The appraised value is helpful to other family members for appreciating your work by knowing the appraisal came from a professional source.
- When mailing your textile, the appraisal gives added guarantee of proof of value.
- When entering your textile in competition the appraisal is usually required, if over a certain value.
