Handcrafted Vintage Kantha Quilt – Free Flow Foliage
Handcrafted Vintage Kantha Quilt – Free Flow Foliage
A beautifully soft vintage Kantha with the character and patina that only time can create. Hand stitched throughout, every thread tells part of its story, making this a truly one-of-a-kind textile.
One side is a joyful celebration of the natural world, with flowing flowers and foliage in soft taupe, beige and yellow set against a muted red background. Warm yet understated, it brings effortless colour and character to any room.
Turn it over and you'll find a more restrained design in black with subtle blue geometric motifs, finished with the distinctive white hand stitching that makes vintage Kanthas so special.
Whether draped over a bed, sofa or favourite chair, or made into elegant curtains, this is a versatile piece you'll treasure for years to come. It's one we've found particularly hard to part with at Stanley & May.

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.
