Queen Elizabeth woven bedspreads by Maine Heritage Weavers are manufactured in Lewiston, Maine at one of the Bates Mill buildings by former Bates Fabrics employees.  Queen Elizabeth, also remembered as Elizabethan Court, is one of the most popular matelasse designs offered by Maine Heritage Weavers. 

Our popular Queen Elizabeth design is an authentic vintage 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.

The Bates Mill Store carries the finest U.S. woven bedspreads and throws available.

American woven vintage Jacquard throws and bedspreads are becoming more and more difficult to find in view of the fact most throws are now woven in manufacturing facilities located in Portugal, China, Italy and other far away countries. One exception, however, is bedding woven by a Maine, USA, based company, Maine Heritage Weavers.

This small textile company was started by several Maine craftsmen and women, former employees of Bates Fabrics, the world renown manufacturer of Bates style throws, shams, coverlets and bedspreads in both terry-loop (candlewick) and trapunto (matelasse) construction. Maine Heritage Weavers operates out of the same buildings that housed the Bates operation located along the Androscoggin River in Lewiston, Maine many years ago.

These 100% cotton decorative luxury throws are available in a variety of colors and colonial designs, such as Martha Washington's Choice and Heritage. To order free fabric swatches of their popular candlewick and matelasse bedding call 1-800-552-2837.
