    Description

    Big Kente cloth panel that I bought from my Mali salesman to show/sell in my upholstery/soft furnishings shop.
    It measures 129" in length (just over 3.5 yds) x 89" wide.
    I love working with textiles from around the world - just look at the fabulous ottoman, pillows and chair that I worked from the other panel I bought from him!  I love the softness of this Kente cloth, which someone else told me was likely a more modern, machine made (jacquard loom) piece - but the hundreds of narrow panels and squares are still whip-stitched by hand into this big piece.
    I'm downsizing my shop and need to clear inventory of all my collected textiles. Please purchase or make your best offer for this wonderful cloth.  Sent free shipping in the US with USPS Priority Mail.
