Lohori kantha like this one are one of the oldest recorded types of kantha from Bengal. Made using recycled traditional white cotton saris, these sturdy quilts are beautifully stitched, a very heavy weight and made to last and last.

This example is probably around 100 years old and in incredible condition for its age. it has a few minor signs of use but the feel has softened over the years to a gorgeous texture.

Look at the close ups to really appreciate this subtle beauty! Different colours of thick cotton thread in grey, pink and yellow create a subtle pattern, easily mistaken for a simple weave from a distance.

The stitching is also the same on both sides, the mark of a highly skilled craftswoman. These really are heirloom pieces. Not dramatic but quietly dependable.

SIZE: 195cm x 125cm (76" x 48")

With it’s heavy weight and durable feel this is ideal to throw over a sofa, chair or small bed.

This is a one-off, completely unique design, so when it's gone it's gone!

It's a true vintage piece, so 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 the Bengal region, early 20th C

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.

Care information

Hand wash cold or gentle machine wash
Line dry or gentle tumble dry low
