Vintage Kantha Throw with Suzani Embroidery 191

This kantha throw has been handmade in India from up-cycled fabric that has been overstitched in chain stitch with a suzani style pattern.  Kantha quilts and throws are made from layers of fabric sewn together with a tiny running stitch known as a kantha stitch.  

Each side of a vintage kantha is different. The first five photos show one side of the quilt and the last photo shows the reverse side. Vintage kanthas are a handmade product, the pattern and stitching can be irregular and patches are often added to the quilts. 

Size:  1.5m wide x 2.34m long (W59" x L92"). This kantha quilt will fit a single bed and go across a double/ 4ft6in/ 140cm bed, a UK 5ft king/160cm/US queen bed and a 6ft/super king/180cm bed as a throw.

Cotton. Machine wash 30C.  

All our quilts are freshly laundered in the UK and come ready to use.
