Before the 12th century, Damask was brought from the Asian region to the western world through generations of trades. It was when it reached the land of Damascus, capital of Syria, that the fabric was named as such. Damask fabrics are very elegant and beautiful to look at. As soft as they are, the fabric is also versatile. They are used for robes, jackets, upholstery and curtains. The patterns of the fabric can be appreciated on either side because it is reversible. This makes damask curtains especially exquisite. The fabric is usually made from silk but later times saw Damask made from linen, cotton, wool and even synthetic. However, the synthetic ones have a different feel to them, thereby decreasing their aesthetic value and fetch less price in the market. The silk ones are the most preferred kind but the manufacturing of such needs such a delicate process, more so centuries ago. The invention of the Jacquard loom in the 1900s made the production of silk Damask flourish. Now these looms are already computer-controlled which makes the weaving of the materials faster and easier.
