Item Details.
A rare mid to late 19th century handmade embroidered Kantha quilt probably originating from Bangladesh.

Probably made to celebrate a marriage the quilt contains many symbolic and traditional motifs.

Made from layers of natural pale sand coloured muslin which has been hand embroidered with Trees of Life, peacocks and birds, a european type house, and a vine like border with flowers.The quilt has been ‘framed’ with a gorgeous soft red border whilst the outer edge has a narrow blue and white striped edging.

The stitching, all done by hand using traditional motifs and techniques has mainly been worked in a slightly darker shade than the ground cloth with details in brown, rust and red. All the dyes used in creating this quilt are natural.

Measurements: 197cm L x 97cm W

Condition.
In time worn antique condition with overall patina of age, some rubs and historic repairs as you would expect in a domestic textile of this antiquity.

*This was very difficult to capture in photographs, but I hope you can get a good overall impression……
