This large, beautifully soft embroidered ralli quilt comes from the western side of India/Pakistan, probably the Sindh region. Dense rows of coloured stitches in a rectangular pattern give the quilt a subtle pattern and a soft, superb quality feel.
The side intended as the reverse in blue is a traditional hand woven, yarn dyed blue check with the embroidery adding detail and depth to the pattern
The front interestingly appears to be an imported Japanese acrylic fabric with a pink floral print (see detail photos) instead of the normal cotton.
It's a large size in superb condition, with hardly any signs of use.
APPROX SIZE: 220cm x 170cm (86" x 67")
Large enough to throw over the end of a UK king bed

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.
