Golden Lily Percale Cotton Bedspread - Herbal Green

This is the Golden Lily bedspread, a quilted throw-over worked in 100% cotton and carrying the William Morris Golden Lily print across its face. The pattern is the draw here: a dense, flowing tangle of lilies and blooms in soft creams, sage greens and warm rust tones, one of the most recognisable florals from the Morris archive. The face is a garment-washed slub cotton, which gives it a slightly textured, lived-in hand rather than a crisp finish, and the reverse is smooth percale cotton in a tonal damask-style pattern, so the piece is genuinely reversible and works either way up. It measures 260 x 260cm, generous enough to drape over a double or king bed and hang well down the sides.

A bedspread like this sits on top of your existing bedding as a top layer, so it earns its place either as a made-bed finish during the day or as an extra layer of warmth at night. The busy floral face is the one to show when you want the room to feel full and characterful; the quieter damask reverse suits a calmer, more pared-back look. It pairs naturally with plain sage or cream linens, and the rust notes in the print give you a warm accent colour to pick up in cushions or a lampshade. At 260cm square it is a room-anchoring piece rather than a small accessory.

The bedspread is quilted throughout, with the stitched channels holding a pure cotton wadding filling in place, and a contrast flat piped trim runs around the edge. Cotton wadding breathes well and sits comfortably without the slick feel of a synthetic fill. Being all cotton, face, reverse and filling, it washes and wears as cotton does: it softens with use and takes a wash readily. Turn it over from time to time to enjoy both patterns, and lean into the wider Morris florals if you are building a heritage-led scheme.

Is this bedspread reversible?

Yes. One side carries the Golden Lily floral print and the other a tonal damask-style pattern, so you can use either face depending on the look you want.

What is the bedspread filled with?

It has a pure cotton wadding filling held in place by the quilting. Cotton wadding breathes well and gives a comfortable weight without the feel of a synthetic fill.

What size bed does the 260 x 260cm size suit?

At 260cm square it is generous enough to lie over a double or king bed and still drape down the sides, so it works as a top layer rather than a fitted cover.

What is the difference between the slub face and the percale reverse?

The slub cotton face has a slightly textured, relaxed feel from the garment washing, while the percale reverse is smoother and crisper, giving you two different hands in one piece.

Does it come with matching pillowcases or a duvet cover?

This listing is for the bedspread on its own. The Golden Lily print appears across a wider Morris range, so coordinating pieces may be available separately.
