Pink and green Triangles Nakshi Kantha Cushion

These large cushions are made from a beautiful vintage Nakshi Kantha quilt in a pretty and vivid green and pink. 

Nakshi Kantha is a Bengali tradition which dates back hundreds of years and originated from Bangladesh and eastern India. Traditionally, threads are extracted from coloured saris and are used to hand embroider motifs, usually inspired by the beautiful surroundings of the outside world.

Kantha, meaning: “patched cloth”, refers to both the tradition of producing these unique, quilted blankets, as well as the craft and stitch itself which is a small, straight running stitch in embroidery.
