A beautiful very large vintage kantha in good condition. Coral, aquamarine and yellow designs on black framed by a border of matching colours on coral. Reverse deep purple, aquamarine and beige plaid patterns. One patch on reverse. Showing signs of wear and tear. Price reflects this. 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.
