Handcrafted Vintage Kantha Quilt – Floral Ages
Handcrafted Vintage Kantha Quilt – Floral Ages
Some vintage Kanthas have two distinct sides. This one has two completely different personalities.
One side is all quiet elegance, with delicate florals on a soft taupe background brought to life by vibrant orange silk stitching. It has all the charm of the Bloomsbury Set – artistic, collected and quietly unconventional.
Turn it over and the mood changes completely. Bold florals in orange, green, white and yellow have all the confidence of a 1970s interior, with more than a hint of Margot Leadbetter's fearless style.
Hand stitched from layers of vintage cotton saris, every Kantha is one of a kind.
Drape it over a sofa, fold it across a bed or turn it into striking curtains.
One of the hardest pieces for us to let go.

Wrap Yourself in History
Wrap Yourself in History
Discover the rich heritage of our curated vintage Kantha quilts. Originating in South Asia, the word kantha refers to the simple, rhythmic running stitch used to layer and quilt beautiful vintage sari fabric together.
Hand-stitched by skilled female artisans in India using these time-honoured techniques, each piece breathes new life into reclaimed saris. Because every quilt is hand-crafted from upcycled, pre-loved textiles, no two pieces are ever the same.
Each offers stunning colour contrasts, rich patterns on one side, and a more mellow aesthetic on the reverse bringing history, sustainability, and soulful artistry into the modern home.
How I Style Them (A Note from Stanley & May)
How I Style Them (A Note from Stanley & May)
I absolutely love these quilts and use them all over my own home! Try layering them over the arm of a sofa for an instant pop of colour, or drape them over a crisp white bedspread to bring unique charm and individuality to a bedroom.
They also make fabulous, instant curtains without the need for any sewing. Simply hang them with curtain clips over a drafty doorway. In the summer months, they look stunning utilized as vibrant tablecloths or packed up to use as an eclectic picnic blanket.
Condition & Care
Condition & Care
Care Instructions: Incredibly practical as well as stylish; all of our Kantha quilts are machine washable on a cool, separate, gentle cycle. Line dry out of direct sunlight.
Vintage Disclaimer: Due to the age of the repurposed sari fabrics, you may find them to be perfectly imperfect with slight fading, minor patches, or gentle wear. These are not flaws, but rather the cherished history, character, and soul of an authentic, pre-loved textile.
