USA Woven Heirloom Bedspreads
Posted by: | CommentsUSA woven heirloom bedspreads, including our popular matelasse designs "Cape Cod" and "Heritage" are woven at Maine Heritage Weavers on Jacquard looms similar to those used by the legendary Bates Fabrics. Many of the employees of Maine Heritage Weavers began their careers as Bates Fabrics and Bates of Maine employees years ago.
These elegant one hundred percent cotton coverlets, bedspreads and throws are available in many designs including our very popular Queen Elizabeth which has been woven in Lewiston, Maine for over 50 years. Queen Elizabeth is an authentic vintage reproduction bedspread of an original handwoven masterpiece dating back to the first Elizabethan Era before becoming popular in Colonial America. Elegant center medallion and flowers woven in an intricate "puffed" pattern give grace and clarity to this classic design. It is woven in solid white and antique colors and two-tone colors include: french blue/antique, white/antique (linen), sage/natural and wedgewood blue/white.
Heritage, another vintage favorite features a repeat pattern of circle and leaf design and is also available in standard bedspread and coverlet sizes with pom-pom fringe.
Our popular matelasse designs include Cape Cod, Queen Elizabeth and Tuscany are available as well as candlewicks such as Martha Washington’s Choice and American Tradition from Maine Heritage Weavers which is located in Lewiston, Maine, in one of the former Bates Mill buildings. Swatch cards are free to help customers choose the perfect color coverlet, throw or bedspread.
We proudly carry matelasse and candlewick bedspreads from Maine Heritage Weavers.
Terry-Loop Martha Washington’s Choice Bedding
Posted by: | CommentsTerry-loop Martha Washington’s Choice bedding including throws, bedspreads and coverlets are prime examples of the finest USA woven chenille type (candlewick) bed coverings. Still very popular in America and still made in America, candlewick bedspreads such as Martha Washington’s Choice, John Adams and American Tradition can be referred to as “chenille”, "hobnail" or “terry loop” style.
This luxurious woven style has a needlework effect that produces a 3-D effect through patterns of French knots, or uncut loops forming a fabric pile. Martha Washington’s Choice bedspread is a prime example of terry-loop (also known as hobnail, chenille or candlewick) cotton construction. American Tradition is a lighter weight design and more suitable for warmer climates.
