Woven Bedding from The Bates Mill Store
posted in Matelasse Throws |At the Bates Mill Store we carry the finest woven bedding made in America. Vintage Jacquard bedspreads, coverlets and throws made in the USA 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.
Bedding woven by Maine Heritage Weavers, USA, is a prime example. This small textile company was started by several Maine craftsmen and women, former employees of Bates of Maine and Bates Fabrics, the world renown manufacturer of Bates style throws, shams, coverlets and bedspreads in both terry-loop and 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.
100% cotton decorative matelasse throws are available in a variety of colors and colonial designs, such as Cape Cod and Heritage. Free fabric swatches of their popular candlewick and matelasse bedding are available at www.batesmillstore.com.
