France – Art Nouveau
Around 1900
Damask is a silk fabric, monochrome, with a satin weave, characterized by a contrast of shine between the background and the design formed by the weave.
Damask or damask is a fabric whose patterns are woven and not embroidered. These two methods are not mutually exclusive. Indeed on the sheets, tablecloths and damask napkins, the monogram of the masters of the house is often embroidered.
In the case of damask and unlike embroidery, the patterns are discreet. There can only be two colors in damask fabrics: that of the weft thread and that of the warp thread. But most damask linens and fabrics are single-colored.
