DamaskWeaving
Shiny, linen damask with its subtle play of shadowy figures and patterns would decorate many a dining table in earlier days. The tablecloths, with matching small and large napkins, formed part of the trousseau of women from well-to-do circles.
One of the companies that had dedicated itself to providing beautiful, hand-woven linen ever since the middle of the 19th century was the Brabant weaving company W.J. van |Hoogerwou & Zonen. This company closed down in 1970, but its rich legacy can still be admired in the Audax Textielmuseum Tilburg. This consists not only of the original hand-weaving looms, but also an extensive archive of pattern drawings, Jacquard cards, sample books and the attractive linen itself.
Adjacent to the Damask Weaving Centre and Damask Washing facility, space has been created to include presentations of various damask tableware. See the agenda for up to date information about these presentation.
The Damask Weaving Centre is open at the following times:
From Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 - 17:00
On Saturday and Sunday from 14:00 - 17:00
