Sometimes you see a vintage Kantha and simply know it's coming home with you.

Every Kantha is one of a kind, but this one feels particularly special. Both sides have been created from the same vintage sari fabrics, giving it a rare sense of harmony.

Nancy Lancaster of Colefax & Fowler, whose decorating helped define the English country house look, believed the most beautiful rooms were softened by time. This Kantha has exactly that quality. Soft sage green, faded creams and peachy yellow have the mellow character that only age can create.

A beautifully expressive paisley border in warm pinks, gentle greens and burnt orange provides just enough contrast to lift the design while preserving its quiet elegance.

Hand stitched from layers of vintage cotton saris, every Kantha is one of a kind. Fold it across crisp white linen, drape it over a sofa or layer it into a favourite armchair. A timeless textile that quietly settles into a room.

Colours: Soft sage green with faded florals and paisley borders.

Size: 190x135cm (approx)

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)

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

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.
