Which fabric is noted for a large design and matte luster?

• A. Bird's eye pique
• B. Jacquard Upholstery
• C. Tapestry
• D. Damask

Answer: (B)

Large-scale patterns come from the jacquard weaving process, which lets the loom control individual warp threads to create intricate designs that span across the fabric. When used for upholstery, the result is a fabric with a substantial, eye-catching design and a more subdued, matte sheen rather than a shiny surface. Bird’s eye pique has a small, repeating texture, not a large pattern. Tapestry often features rich, pictorial motifs and a heavier texture, but isn’t defined by a matte luster. Damask shows patterns with a noticeable sheen from the satin interweave, so it’s typically more lustrous.
