This extra large, beautifully soft, reversible vintage kantha quilt was originally hand-crafted in India using layers of colourful vintage sari fabric stitched together with the finest, delicate hand stitches. This example is in superb condition and an unusually enormous size, a truly unique example of this traditional style of Indian throw blanket. 

This quilt also features extra vibrant hand printed patterns on both sides, making it completely reversible. A medium weight, with a soft texture and extra fine stitching, this special piece is one to be treasured. Drape it across your bed as a statement throw, layer it over a sofa for instant colourful drama, or let it make an impact as a curtain or wall hanging.

SIZE: 240cm x 165cm (94" x 65")

Shown here on a UK Double bed (US Full Size). It will also easily fit a King to Super King bed or can be used lengthways on a smaller bed.

Our authentic vintage kantha quilts are between 20 and 70 years old, handmade by women in the home and used as blankets and seating covers.

As a true vintage textile it carries the charm of its past life. Although this one is in almost pristine condition, expect tiny imperfections, these are not flaws, but part of its history and character.

This is a one-off design, when it’s gone, it’s gone!

Handmade in India late 20th Century

Materials


100% recycled cotton
Kantha quilts have been made for centuries by artisans in rural India. They are handmade from layers of recycled hand printed sarees which are hand stitched together to create a reversible, one of a kind blanket.
Each one is completely unique and they come in different sizes, thicknesses and qualities.
Some are at least a few generations old and show all the signs of being loved in the past, with gives them a unique texture and softness. Others are more recent but in great condition, with fewer signs of use.
We hand select our kantha quilts for their bright colours, versatile sizes and unique patterns, and photograph them in as much detail as possible so that you can see the beautiful features of each one.
We wash them to remove as many marks as possible, and we will sometimes patch over any large holes using offcuts of kantha quilts, using the same technique as the original artisans would have.
