Vintage Galicha Carpet Kantha 207

This galicha kantha or  carpet kantha comes from Bangladesh and is made using layers of repurposed cotton that is embroidered with vivid cross-stitch embroidery in intricate geometric patterns. 

They can be used as a floor covering (perhaps in a bedroom as they are not as strong as a woven carpet) but would also look lovely folded across the back of a sofa or as a bold wall hanging. They could also be used to upholster a headboard or a chair.

The first four photos show the decorative embroidered side of the textile and the last two photos show the reverse side, this piece is in very good condition. The cotton fringe is attached to all 4 sides of the kantha. 

Size:  1.17m wide x 1.92m long (W46in x L76in). 

100% Cotton. Hand wash or dry clean.
