Textile Museum

In the Damask Weaving Mill you can have your precious damask laundered, pressed and folded. The damask weaving mill, dating from 1852, is the last hand-operated weaving mill in which pure linen damask is produced according to traditional methods. Because of its many supplies to the Royal Household the mill was given the predicate 'Purveyor to the Royal Household'.
