We had a house fire seven months ago. We are back in our house now and dealing with all the reimbursement. The company that did our textile restoration lost a bunch of our stuff—we’ve come to a monetary agreement on the things that can be replaced, but amongst those items were several things that we cannot assign a monetary value to:
A handmade baby quilt with all my sons birth information on it (the family friend spent so much time on this)
A handmade baby quilt made in 1902 by my husbands great grandma, passed down through the family. It was given to my son when he was born (this one hurts the most)
Two baby quilts a family member knitted both our kids when they were born.
They were all stored in the same cedar chest and likely cleaned and hung on the same set of hangers and the entire hanger bundle went missing.
The owner of the company is trying to work with me for compensation, but I can’t even start to think of value without getting angry. For anyone who works in insurance or who has gone through something similar, how do we do this?

How much could you sell them for?
What is your exact monetary loss in US dollars?
That’s how much they’re worth.
