Elegant USA Woven Matelasse Throws
posted in Matelasse Throws |Elegant USA woven cotton throws, bedspreads and coverlets made in America 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, and that is decorative vintage bedding woven by a Maine, USA, based company, Maine Heritage Weavers. This textile company was started by several Maine craftsmen and women, former employees of Bates Fabrics, the world renown manufacturer of Bates style throws, bedspreads, shams and coverlets in both terry-loop (candlewick) and trapunto construction.
Operating out of the same buildings that housed the Bates Company, Maine Heritage Weavers is llocated along the Androscoggin River in Lewiston, Maine. The company began over 7 years ago by former employees of Bates Fabrics and Bates of Maine.
These 100% cotton decorative elegant throws are woven in a standard 54" by 72" size and are offered in a variety of colors and designs, such as Heritage, shown above. These high quality vintage cotton throws can be used as decorations for couches, beds, chairs and in some cases for wall hangings. Most of all, however, these throws and blankets are used to snuggle in when reading a good book, watching televison, or for just being warm and comfortable.
