Kantha Throw – Purple and beige on black. Reverse olive green and black stripes

A fine vintage kantha in excellent condition. Light purple flowers with circles of beige designs on black interspersed with narrow bands of plain purple. Reverse olive green and black stripes framed by a plain rust and black border. 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.
