Cataloguer’s note

Written by Sellingantiques from the dealer’s photographs and listing
  • Period1920 - 1940

This vintage Lohori Kantha throw dates from the 1930 period and originates from the Bengali region of India, created from old saris and fabrics using minute hand stitches. The textile displays a bold chevron pattern in striking red and black tones across two joined pieces of plain fabric, finished with a detailed striped border. Measuring 122 cm in width and 203 cm in length, the piece is in very good condition with strong colours. It serves as a blanket, quilt, throw, or wall hanging, functioning as a decorative focal point when placed over furniture or displayed upon a wall in a home interior setting today.
