Gently used Colonial style California King Indigo blue and ecru woven bedspread coverlet features a pattern similar to an antique woven bedcover from Colonial America: there is a basic cross pattern with a darker basket-weave pattern imposed on top and set diagonally on the bedspread. It has a fitted rectangular shape with piping along the edge of the mattress with a drop length of 18 inches, has fitted box pleat corners, and is long enough for a generous pillow tuck for a neat and tailored look. When I washed it, the blue “flowed” like a flow-blue plate, and ecru traditionally represents the natural color of unbleached linen or raw silk. The lining took all the punishment from the dye, & is now a mottled blue, but the top is as nice as ever. It’s an amazingly stunning and beautiful bedspread. I believe I didn’t dry it in a dryer, but hug it out to dry. (Besides, the colonials did not have dry cleaning- so their woven bedcovers probably all had a bit of flow-blue effect if they used indigo dye.) This antique-style bedspread is perfect for those looking for an elegant and classic bedding option. Measurements: Feels like a weighted blanket: weighs 17 pounds. From Piping - the drop is 18 inches. From piping to head of bed, it’s 98 inches. Box pleats at two lower corners of the bed are 4 inches deep on each side. There is not a white ruffle at the hem- what you’re seeing is a separate bed skirt. Pillow tuck is 23 inches. No Label- so fabric content and care instructions are not available.

ABOUT INDIGO DYE. Colonial Americans heavily relied on indigo to create deep, colorfast blue dyes. It was a highly lucrative cash crop, particularly in South Carolina and Georgia, where enslaved Africans were forced to use their agricultural knowledge to cultivate and process the crop. Indigo was so valuable that it was called "blue gold" and was even used as currency to trade for goods and services. Great Britain relied heavily on these colonial indigo exports to dye uniforms and royal robes.
