Kantha Throw – Black with red. Reverse orange and ochre

Vintage kantha in good condition. Bands of off white paisley type motifs on black interspersed with rectangles of red and black. Two matching patches. Reverse small squares of orange and pastel colouirs with a band of pale ochre. Would look good as a cover or 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.
