Colonial Rose Cotton Matelasse Bedspread
Description
The Colonial Rose Bedspread features an all-over floral and palm leaf pattern that carefully balances the organic with the geometric.
This cotton bedspread was originally introduced in the 1950s as a classic matelasse but was later transitioned into production as a flat jacquard quilt called "Brittany" in the 1970s. Flat jacquards, lacking the signature “puff” of a matelasse bedspread, did not take off in popularity and so the pattern was discontinued.
In the early 2000’s, Bates resurrected this vintage bedspread as a lightweight matelasse in an effort to provide an affordable option for those customers seeking the quality of the matelasse bedspread but in a lighter weight fabric.

Customer Reviews
I’m redecorating my guest room, and this colonial-style bedspread is the perfect complement to my Eldred Wheeler twin canopy bed. It pairs beautifully with the heirloom patchwork quilt my great-great- aunt, Eva Bowdoin of Castine, Maine, made in the 1930s. I’m planning to make a French knot sham cover to complete the look. I love my Colonial Rose Cotton Matelasse bedspread.
I recently purchased my fifth bedspread set from the Bates Mill Store. These spreads are top quality, and if you order over the phone, the associate can direct you to exactly the product that suits your needs. Bates bedspreads are beautiful, and I will never buy another brand for myself nor for my adult children’s homes.
This is such a pretty bedspread, and it is comfortable to sleep under. I used to fight with my former bedspread to the point I quit making the bed daily. But, I love this bedspread. Making the bed is quick, easy, so I do it daily and smile. This bedspread makes me happy every day.
This is my 4th Bates Mill bedspread. The pattern is so pretty. It looks beautiful.
I am very pleased with this bedspread (king size Colonial Rose Cotton Matelasse Bedspread). It’s the perfect weight, beautiful to look at (even the reverse), and so comfortable to sleep under. The wait was worth it.
