Maanika | Vintage Kantha Quilt
Maanika, our rare and radiant Vintage Kantha Quilt, named after the Hindi word for Ruby. A timeless piece that carries the depth, beauty, and craftsmanship of generations past.
On one side, Maanika reveals a striking contrast of colours, a rich ruby corner giving way to a deep aubergine canvas. This side is an intricate masterpiece, featuring a hand-embroidered grid where each square holds a delicate floral motif. Accented with lime and fuchsia pink embroidery, and finished with a fine fuchsia border and a wider, intricate hand-stitched edge, this side is a true celebration of artistry and heritage.
Turn it over, and you'll discover a deep terracotta base where the large floral motifs softly emerge from the other side, creating a beautiful layered effect. There are glimpses of the saree layer beneath, adding depth and charm to the quilt’s story. Across this side, delicate diagonal stitches in pink, green, and white weave a soft, understated texture.
Maanika is a very well-preserved vintage kantha, a rare find that brings warmth, history, and soul into your home. Whether laid across a bed, draped over a reading corner, or simply admired as a piece of living art, Maanika invites you to embrace the beauty of craftsmanship that transcends time.
