Damask is a magnificent fabric of ancient oriental origins that has charmed the world for centuries with its lightness and iridescent brightness. Let’s discover its characteristics and its use.<\/p>\n
Damask is a magnificent woven fabric, in which the complex interweaving between the threads of wefts and warps allows the realization of decorative designs in the fabric itself during weaving. The simplest weave is composed of a single warp and weft, but more complex ones can also be found.<\/p>\n
It is characterized by an iridescent brightness, obtained from the different way in which light reflects on the surface which, thanks to the satin weave, has an effect of a shiny background and opaque design on one side and of shiny decoration on an opaque background on the other. It thus becomes a double face fabric, but usually the straight side coincides with the opaque design.<\/p>\n
This effect is enhanced through the use of silk, but you can find damasks in cotton yarns, mixed silk or artificial fibers. The very large designs, not in relief and usually floral, are very rich in details and, even if monochrome – warp and weft are in fact the same color – stand out on the background thanks to the contrast between shiny and opaque parts. Silk also enhances another feature of this luxury fabric, perhaps the main one, namely its soft lightness.<\/p>\n
Usually, damask is monochrome, but it can also be found in two colors thanks to the use of different colors for warp and weft.<\/p>\n
Damask lent itself to be brocade, which means embellished with elaborate embroideries in precious yarns, gold and silver, or silk, later giving life to “brocade” fabrics.<\/p>\n

This fabric was already known in ancient times in the East. Born in China, through trade it reached India, Iran, Byzantine Greece, Persia and Syria. Just in Syria, the city of Damascus became the main center for the development of this fabric, by perfecting its production and creating new ornamental patterns, so that its name was identified with that of the city.<\/p>\n
In the 12th century or so, it was the flourishing trade with the East of Venice and Genoa that brought Damascus to the West. These important Italian textile centers then began to produce it<\/a>, and by the 15th century it was one of the most beloved fabrics of the wealthiest clientele. Its workmanship and silk composition made this precious fabric an elite product.<\/p>\n Like all textiles – damask was also produced with the so-called “al tiro” loom, introduced in Italy by the Arabs between the 10th and 11th centuries, which was equipped with strings, operated to move the various warps. In the 19th century, the use of the Jacquard loom simplified its production, reducing its cost and promoting its spread.<\/p>\n The ornamental motifs of the damask are recognizable by the contrasting sheen created by the satin of the obverse and the satin of the reverse, and usually recall floral themes with stylized figures.<\/p>\n The designs of the damasks in our catalog<\/a> are classical in style and depict mythological elements as in Grottesche Craquel\u00e9<\/a> and Fenice, animal subjects as in Termidoro<\/a>, or floral and naturalistic motifs as in Craquel\u00e9 31089<\/a>, Damask 31026<\/a>, Bizar<\/a> and Giardino Craquel\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left”

tessuto di antichissime origini orientali che per la sua leggerezza e\u00a0 luminosit\u00e0 cangiante ha affascinato il mondo per secoli. Scopriamo le sue caratteristiche ed il suo utilizzo.<\/p> Il damasco \u00e8 un magnifico tessuto operato, in cui il complesso intreccio tra i fili di trame e orditi consente di realizzare i disegni decorativi nel tessuto stesso nella fase di tessitura. L\u2019armatura pi\u00f9 semplice \u00e8 composta da un solo ordito e una sola trama ma se ne possono trovare anche di pi\u00f9 complesse.<\/p> \u00c8 caratterizzato da una luminosit\u00e0 cangiante, ottenuta dal diverso modo in cui la luce si riflette sulla superficie che, grazie all\u2019armatura a raso, ha un effetto di fondo lucido e di disegno opaco da un lato e di decorazione lucida su fondo opaco dall\u2019altro. Diventa cos\u00ec un tessuto double face ma solitamente si fa coincidere la parte dritta con il disegno opaco.<\/p> Tale gioco di lucentezze \u00e8 esaltato dall\u2019utilizzo della seta, ma si possono trovare damaschi in filati di cotone, misto seta o fibre artificiali. I disegni molto grandi, non in rilievo e solitamente floreali, sono ricchissimi di dettagli e, anche se monocromi, ordito e trama hanno infatti lo stesso colore, risaltano sul fondo grazie al contrasto tra parti lucide ed opache. La seta valorizza anche un\u2019altra caratteristica di questo tessuto pregiato, forse quella principale, ossia la sua morbida leggerezza.<\/p> Solitamente, il damasco \u00e8 monocromo, ma se ne possono trovare anche bicolore grazie all\u2019utilizzo di\u00a0 colori diversi\u00a0 per ordito e trama.<\/p> Il damasco si prestava ad essere broccato, ossia impreziosito con elaborati ricami in filati preziosi, oro e argento, oppure di seta, dando poi vita ai tessuti \u201cbroccati\u201d.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.25\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Damasco-CraquelA\u00a9-Giardino-090-33077-small.jpg\" alt=\"Damasco Giardino Craquel\u00e9 pesca | Tessitura Bevilacqua\" title_text=\"Damasco Giardino Craquel\u00e9 pesca | Tessitura Bevilacqua\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" align=\"center\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" _builder_version=\"4.9.4\" max_width=\"600px\" hover_enabled=\"0\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Damasco Giardino Craquel\u00e9 pesca | Tessitura Bevilacqua\" _builder_version=\"4.9.4\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12px\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" hover_enabled=\"0\" z_index_tablet=\"500\" text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_vertical_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_blur_tablet=\"40px\" box_shadow_spread_tablet=\"0px\" border_style=\"solid\" saved_tabs=\"all\" locked=\"off\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p> Damasco Giardino Craquel\u00e9 - pesca<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.25\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"par 2 e 3 \" _builder_version=\"4.9.4\"]<\/p> Questo tessuto era noto gi\u00e0 nell\u2019antichit\u00e0 in Oriente. Nato in Cina, tramite i commerci raggiunse l\u2019India, l\u2019Iran, la Grecia Bizantina, Persia e Siria. Proprio in Siria, la citt\u00e0 di Damasco divenne il centro principale per lo sviluppo di questo tessuto, raffinando la sua produzione ed elaborando nuovi motivi ornamentali, tanto che il suo nome venne identificato con quello del tessuto.<\/p> Nel XII secolo circa, furono i floridi commerci con l\u2019Oriente di Venezia e Genova a portare il Damasco in Occidente. Questi importanti centri tessili italiani cominciarono poi a produrlo<\/a> e nel Quattrocento era uno dei tessuti pi\u00f9 amati dalla clientela pi\u00f9 facoltosa. La sua lavorazione e composizione in seta rendevano questo tessuto pregiato un prodotto d\u2019\u00e9lite.<\/p> Come tutti i tessuti operati, anche il damasco veniva realizzato con il cosiddetto telaio \u201cal tiro\u201d, introdotto in Italia dagli Arabi tra il X e l\u2019XI secolo, che era dotato di lacci, azionati per muovere i vari orditi. Nel XIX secolo, l\u2019utilizzo del telaio Jacquard ne semplific\u00f2 la produzione, riducendone il costo e favorendo la sua diffusione.<\/p> I motivi ornamentali del damasco si distinguono per il contrasto di lucentezza creato dal raso del diritto e il raso del rovescio, e solitamente richiamano temi floreali con figure stilizzate.<\/p> I disegni dei damaschi del nostro catalogo<\/a> sono di impronta classica e raffigurano elementi mitologici come nel Grottesche Craquel\u00e9<\/a> e Fenice<\/a>, soggetti animali come nel Termidoro<\/a>, o motivi floreali e naturalistici come nel Craquel\u00e9 31089<\/a>, Damasco 31026<\/a>, Bizar<\/a> e Giardino Craquel\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.25\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Damasco-Fenice-179-31061-anteprima.jpg\" alt=\"Damasco Fenice 179-31061-anteprima | Tessiture Bevilacqua\" title_text=\"Damasco Fenice 179-31061-anteprima | Tessiture Bevilacqua\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" align=\"center\" align_tablet=\"center\" align_phone=\"\" align_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" _builder_version=\"4.9.4\" max_width=\"600px\" hover_enabled=\"0\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"damasco fenice blu\" _builder_version=\"4.9.4\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12px\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" z_index_tablet=\"500\" text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=\"0px\" header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=\"1px\" box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_vertical_tablet=\"0px\" box_shadow_blur_tablet=\"40px\" box_shadow_spread_tablet=\"0px\" border_style=\"solid\" saved_tabs=\"all\" locked=\"off\"]<\/p> Damasco Fenice - blu<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.25\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"par4\" _builder_version=\"4.9.4\"]<\/p> Il damasco veniva utilizzato per arredare palazzi nobiliari e residenze regali, per la decorazione di chiese, per abiti sacerdotali e paramenti liturgici, per l\u2019abbigliamento maschile e femminile.<\/p> Nel XV e XVI secolo, periodo di massimo splendore dell\u2019arte tessile a Venezia<\/a> il damasco era la tipologia di tessuto preferita per i lussuosi abiti estivi<\/a> delle classi pi\u00f9 agiate.<\/p> Anche nell\u2019epoca del Barocco e del Rococ\u00f2, con splendidi motivi ornamentali e impreziosito con decorazioni ricamate in filo d\u2019oro e d\u2019argento o di sete policromi, era tra i tessuti pi\u00f9 amati per arredare palazzi e dimore di nobili, per le sua leggerezza e lucentezza.<\/p> Ancora oggi i damaschi vengono utilizzati soprattutto nel campo dell\u2019arredamento per cuscini, poltrone e tendaggi oltre che dalla Chiesa per realizzare paramenti liturgici e abiti sacerdotali ma anche nell\u2019abbigliamento.<\/p>The Designs of Bevilacqua Luxury Damask Fabrics<\/h2>\n
