Queen Elizabeth Matelasse Bedspread
Description
The Queen Elizabeth Bedspread was first introduced by Bates in 1953, in commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. The design was also inspired by an intricate quilt originating from the Elizabethan Era, so the name was fitting in more ways than one.
This vintage-inspired matelassé bedspread was the first of its kind to be woven on a mechanical loom, and it has been in continuous production for over 60 years (second in age only to the our classic Martha Washington’s Choice Bedspread).
This cotton matelassé bedspread commands attention with an elegant center medallion and structured framework surrounded by soft florals. The iconic design has also been known in the past as the "Elizabethan Court."

The bedspread arrived just as described and I'm very pleased with the quality and beauty. Thank you!
We are very pleased with our Bates spread! Do you have a video that shows how it’s made & how long it takes to put this beautiful heirloom.
As always, Bates makes the most quality spreads. They're beautiful, timeless and elegant.
I have had Bates spreads for over 30 years and just ordered two new ones. They have quiet charm that’s so appropriate for antique beds in a New England home.
Beautiful and skillfully made I am proud to give this as a wedding gift.
