Damask is a richly woven reversible fabric distinguished by its intricate patterns, traditionally featuring floral, botanical or geometric motifs. Originally produced from silk in the city of Damascus, damask later became widely woven in linen, cotton and wool. Antique damask has long been used for upholstery, curtains, table linens and wall coverings, remaining synonymous with quality, elegance and traditional craftsmanship. *Related Terms*\ Jacquard, Linen, Silk, Textile, Upholstery.
