Embroidered Vintage Kantha Quilt in Yellow, Pink and White
This large reversible vintage kantha quilt in a delightful subtle pink and blue was hand crafted from layers of vintage sari fabric hand stitched together with tiny kantha (running) stitches and a wide embroidered stripe pattern. Traditionally made in Bengal, India, this kantha quilt is probably around 50-80 years old, a beautiful example of a historic tradition. We love the kanthas with this kind of detailed embroidery, intricately stitched in geometric patterns that must have taken months to complete. As each vintage kantha quilt is completely one of a kind, once it's sold, it's gone for good! SIZE: 205cm x 145cm (80" x 56") Perfect to drape over the end of a UK double bed (US full) as shown. This size will also just fit a UK King (US Queen). Incredibly versatile, our hand picked Indian kantha quilts are perfect to add a touch of unique pattern and tactile authenticity to your bedroom or lounge. Use it as a bed throw blanket, drape it over a sofa, hang as a curtain or on the wall as artwork behind the bed. Our kantha quilts come freshly and meticulously cleaned in-house with as few marks as possible. But as a true vintage piece, expect imperfections, patched details, marks and worn sections that reveal the layers below. We do our best to photograph all the details but remember that you are purchasing a unique, vintage textile piece that has been handmade and used in the past. Handmade in India, 20th Century Vintage
