Duck Cloth, often simply known as Duck, is a strong, closely woven cotton or linen fabric traditionally used where durability was essential. Originally employed for sails, tents and workwear, it was later adopted for upholstery, artist\'s canvases, luggage and industrial applications. Antique duck cloth is recognised for its dense weave, strength and long-lasting performance. *Related Terms*\ Canvas, Cotton, Linen, Textile, Upholstery.
