Kantha Throw – Navy with deep orange, grey and off white. Reverse dark green with ochre and black.

A beautiful thick vintage kantha piece in very good condition stitched with many layers of sari. Deep orange, grey and off white flowers on inky blue background with red stitching. Two patches of similar colours blend in well. Reverse deep orchre and black flowers on artichoke green background with red stitching. Four patches. Would look great as a throw on a chair/sofa. Difficult to come by such a good piece now. 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.
