Bahar | Vintage Kantha Quilt
Bahar – our treasured Vintage Kantha Quilt, named after the Hindi word for Spring. A celebration of renewal, colour, and life, Bahar is a rare find that we are truly delighted to share.
On one side, Bahar bursts with a cocktail of vibrant orange, yellow, and green tones, evoking the feeling of tropical blooms in full flourish. Beneath the surface, the original saree layer reveals itself in flashes of stunning bright green, adding a layered richness to the design. Hand-stitched with bright pink, white, and black thread, every detail sings with joyful energy.
Turn it over, and you are met with a deep, jewel-like purple. Hints of turquoise and cream ripple through the purple, creating a soft, fluid texture across the fabric. A beautiful section at the top showcases ornate motifs in fuchsia and lime green, featuring delicate florals and intricate patterns that make this quilt all the more special. Though there are a few patched kantha repairs, they only add to the character of this remarkably well-preserved vintage piece.
Bahar is a quilt that brings the vibrancy of springtime into your home. Whether draped across a bed, folded at the foot of a sofa, or simply admired for its artistry, it is a piece full of life, beauty, and history.
