Suzani embroidered vintage kantha quilt - indigo

Add colour, texture, and personality to your home with a beautiful vintage kantha quilt. Used as a throw, draped on a chair or on the end of your bed, or as a stunning wall hanging, these unique pieces represent a connection to centuries old textile traditions.

This beautiful vintage quilt has been reinvigorated with Suzani embroidery.

Suzani takes its name from the Persian word suzan, meaning needle. Suzani embroidery is an exuberant and highly symbolic form of surface embellishment, that originated in Central Asia. Created as part of a dowry by the bride and her family, Suzani embroidered panels traditionally employ motifs representing fertility and abundance (pomegranates), universal life and divine protection (sun and moon symbols), and floral motifs signifying immortality, renewal and beauty.

NOTE : These quilts are made from vintage fabrics, patched and stitched by hand and then embroidered. Any variation or inconsistency is not to be construed as a fault, but part of the intrinsic beauty of the history of the piece and the handmade process.
