Kantha Throw – Black and white. Coral with green

An unusual fine vintage kantha in excellent condition. Subtle black and white pattern with red stitching framed by a double border of black leaf design on white and plain black. Reverse pale yellow and off white circle and floral patterns on coral background. A large square of green and pale yellow pattern in one corner. Two patches on reverse. Would look good on a bed or as a throw. 100% cotton. Machine washable.

Kantha is a traditional method of sewing together layers of cotton saris using a simple running stitch called ‘Kantha‘. This age old method of recycling originated in Bangladesh and was an excellent way of creating quilts from pre-existing fabric. Each piece is completely unique with a different colour way and design on the reverse allowing a different look for your room depending on which side is shown.

As the material is vintage, sometimes there are small blemishes and even the odd patch.
