Maanika Purple Floral Vintage Kantha Quilt

Maanika, meaning “ruby” in Hindi, is a beautifully preserved vintage kantha quilt with a strong sense of depth and detail.

On one side, a rich ruby corner meets a deep aubergine base, forming a striking contrast. This surface is defined by a hand-embroidered grid, where each square holds a delicate floral motif. Accents of lime and fuchsia thread bring subtle brightness, while a fine border and wider stitched edge frame the composition.

The reverse shifts into a deep terracotta tone, where larger floral forms gently emerge from beneath the surface. Glimpses of the original sari layer can be seen throughout, adding to the layered character of the piece. Fine diagonal kantha stitching in soft pink, green, and white runs across the surface, creating a quieter, more understated texture.

Designed to be reversible, Maanika offers two distinct sides, each with its own depth and balance of colour.
