Antique kantha quilt

115 x 180cm

Softly faded green and orange floral sari, a 1970’s feel print- identical on both sides.

This quilt is smaller, and ideal as a throw, or layer on a sofa/daybed.

Beautiful antique kantha quilts are a labour of love and time, hand sewn by a woman for her own family.

Layering old saris and the checked lungi worn by the men of the village, and quilting them together with the tiniest of stitches, often in lovely geometric patterns, taking weeks to make.

As genuine antiques, these pieces may have patches and darns, freying layers and small marks. These are all a part of the items unique history and not considered as flaws.
