Chenille and Matelasse Woven Bedspreads
ByChenille (candlewick) and matelasse woven bedspreads are manufactured from the highest grade cotton on dobby Looms, in Lewiston, Maine. The same city where Benjamin Bates began Bates Manufacturing in 1850.
Produced at Maine Heritage Weavers, which began by Bates Fabrics employees over 7 years ago, coverlets, throws and bedspreads are woven on similar looms as Bates. Both candlewicks and matelasses are woven and are available in many colors, both solids and two-tones.
Heritage is one of the oldest designs in the vintage matelasse collection. Formerly named Heirloom, Heirtiage is a repeat pattern of a circular and leaf design and is in the “loomed to be heirloomed” collection.
In addition to bedspreads, which are finished with a knotted or scallop string fringe, coverlets with pom-pom fringe and matching pillow shams and throws are offered. Color choices include solid white or antique and two-tone colors of linen, wedgewood blue/white, french blue/natural and sage/natural. Free swatch cards are available at 1-800-552-2837. Products are machine washable and are woven with fade-resistant dyed yarn and will not shrink more than 3 percent due the quality of manufacturing materials.
