The original weave, older than Christianity, was lost when textile machinery replaced skilled weavers. Bates Fabrics had recaptured this weaving art and former employees continue this tradition. Candlewick(terry loop) bedspreads like Martha's Choice are as popular as they were when introduced by Bates over 60 years ago. Taught by our parents and grandparents, the early craftsmen who designed and manufactured the famous Bates Fabrics Bedspread Line, we used the same skills to create this Colonial American reproduction featuring garlands and stylized flowers. The terry loops create a handwoven effect with luxurious knotted fringe on 3 sides(ball fringe on coverlets) and rounded corners on the bottom. Macine wash and dry. Made in the USA. Available in White and Antique. In 1850, Boston Industrialist Benjamin Bates formed Bates Manufacturing Company, a textile mill in Lewiston, Maine. This textile mill contributed largely in the transformation of a small agricultural village to a large industrial city. In less than ten years, this had become one of the largest textile producers in New England. The company, in various forms and under various owners, would continue to do business for almost 150 years, developing a national reputation for its elegant bedspreads and other stylish fabrics. After Bates closed, a group of former Bates Manufacturing employees who learned from their parents and grandparents, the early craftsmen of the legendary Bates Fabrics' candlewick and matelasse bedspread line, how to weave and finish bedspreads loomed for beauty with the quality and durability of an heirloom. Bedspreads are 100% Cotton. Preshrunk. Machine washable(gentle cycle), tumble dry(low heat). Do not bleach. MADE IN THE USA!!!QUEEN Bedspread measures 102"x116".
