We received numerous requests for the Queen Elizabeth bedspread, once made by Bates. Now Bates' former employees have started Maine Heritage Weavers, and their heavyweight, 100% cotton matelassé spread called the Queen Victoria could pass for Elizabeth's twin. Crafted from yarn predyed for consistency, it features a center medallion, floral design, and single hand-knotted fringe. Machine wash and dry. USA.
Cotton matelasse bedspread, made by former Bates employees in the U.S., is almost identical to the highly requested Bates of Maine Queen Elizabeth bedspread.
