Adamaszek

damask; a silk, cotton, or woollen fabric with a damask weave, where the pattern is created by the contrast of the right and left sides of the same thread, making the fabric double-faced. The fabric took its name from Damascus, the capital of Syria, where it was produced from the 12th century. Damask was mainly used for women’s and men’s clothing, upholstery, tablecloths, and bedding. In the 18th century, brocade damask in the bizarre style became popular.
