Queen Elizabeth bedspreads and throws are woven in Lewiston, Maine at one of the Bates Mill buildings. Queen Elizabeth, also remembered as Elizabethan Court, is one of the matelasse designs offered by Maine Heritage Weavers.
The Queen Elizabeth design is an authentic reproduction 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 museum-designed bedspread.
These 100 percent cotton throws are loomed to be heirloomed on Jacquard looms similar to those used by the legendary Bates Fabrics.
These throws are available in a variety of colors and make an excellent addition to any decor. Throws and bedspreads are machine washable and will not shrink nor fade due to the quality of materials used in the manufacturing process.
