The Godavari Kantha Quilt is an antique quilt which has been lovingly restored and dyed by hand. Ideal as a wall hanging, bed cover, table cloth, or draped over furniture, the antique patina lends warmth and emotion to the home.

Made in India

About the Textiles Used: Kantha textiles are a zero waste textile. Traditionally made at home by women, utilizing scraps and remnants of cotton sarri's and other household textiles, the layers are held together with a fine kantha stitch. After the materials have been stitched together, intricate embroidery is layered on top as a decoration and personalization. Quilts like the Godavari Quilt that have beautiful examples of embroidery would traditionally have been made as gifts; love tokens, the birth of a child, and other special occasions.

This piece is 20-60 years old, and bears the careful handwork of many artisans. We have worked to carefully preserve the antique patina, and dyed it by hand.

Fabric Composition: 100% Recycled Cotton

Fabric Weight: Medium weight with a structured feel.
