DAMASK

DAMASK, a silk stuff, with a raised pattern, so as that the right side of the damask is that which hath the flowers raised or fattened.

Damasks should be of dressed silk, both in warp and woof; and, in France, half an ell in breadth: they are made at Chalons in Champagne, and in some places in Flanders, as at Tournay, &c. entirely of wool, $\backslash frac\{1\}\{2\}$ of an ell wide, and 20 ells long.
