Americana Cotton Matelasse Coverlet

This is the only bedding I buy now, I have been buying for years. You can't beat the quality, absolutely beautiful, but more than that it holds up. I have 3 big tomcats and they are rough on the bedding and it still looks good, not matter how many claws get sunk into it. It washes well and I love it's made in US. Can't go wrong with ordering, well worth the price.

My grandmother had the "Queen Elizabeth" bedspread on her bed. I became nostalgic & purchased one for my Victorian bed. I love the look so much, my next purchase was the "Americana Coverlet". Bates Mill products are washable & look great! . Plan on vacationing in Maine during Sept. Would love to visit the store.

In 1948 my mother started a "tourist" home here in Hyde Park, NY, and a Bates' salesman stopped by to see if we needed any bedspreads. I remember my mother purchasing a brown striped one for one guest room and a double bed & single bed green with white raised dots on it, with a white balled fringe around the bottom. We had that for many years and it was enjoyed by many guests visiting our area. My home was built around 1850, and I have lived in the same house since 1940 all my life, and in 1996 after retiring, I opened a "Guest House" again for visitors to Hyde Park, NY. I've met many people from all over the world. As I was one of the lucky kids to have met Eleanor Roosevelt several times, I often have guests interested in Eleanor, or another neighbor Lorena Hickok, one of ER's friends, who are writing books about them. They love hearing my stories and make reservations to stay here. You can find my website on: www.CostellosGuestHouse.com and it will show you photos of our home and guest rooms. I haven't met a Bates' salesman in a long time, but do get your catalog and have seen and ordered your merchandise online! I also ordered a couple king-size bedspreads through the years for my bed. I remembered your name and recently ordered a new white twin bedspread for my canopy guest room. I hope to see you someday when you visit our area. Your bedspreads are known for their quality, and I'm glad to know you are still in business!

I have been looking for a coverlet that would look vintage. I found it! This coverlet looks beatiful in our 1921 Craftsman
home. The customer service was excellent too!
