A short 1922 encyclopedia entry defining damask as a textile with satin, twill, or taffeta figures on a satin ground. It contrasts damask, a warp-manipulated weave made with a harness, with tapestry, a weft weave. It also covers materials (silk, wool, linen, cotton), upholstery silk damasks, linen table damasks, and the loose historical use of the term.
