Replacement Value for Insurance as defined as: The highest price in terms of cash or other precisely revealed terms that would be required to replace property with another of similar age, quality, origin, appearance, provenance, and condition, within a reasonable length of time in an appropriate market. Since items involved in an appraisal are either one of a kind or were produced in very limited quantity, this definition assumes that an item cannot be replaced new with an exact duplicated. Therefore, additional consideration must be made for the replacement as to artistic merit, desirability, characteristics and period of execution.
