CURTAIN DATE

CURTAIN DATE
The textile and weaving techniques that developed in Mesopotamia gave birth to words that have been settled as textile terms in many languages ​​today. The Arabic word "macrame" is used in many languages. Words such as muslin and damask (damas / damask work) come from the places where they are made, namely Mosul and Damascus.



Curtains were widely used in ancient Egypt. During the Ancient Greek and Roman periods, printed linen fabrics were used for the decoration of temples and interiors. According to historical sources, the window curtain was used by Latins for the first time. However, during this whole process, including in the Middle Ages, the windows were designed in very small sizes and generally closed with wooden shutters. The word voile used today comes from the curtain system called "velum", which is used by the Romanians who come to watch shows in big ceremony areas to protect them from the sun. From the 6th century onwards, silk production in Byzantium and its provinces reached considerable levels. Byzantine silk fabrics were woven and used on looms in Istanbul and Corinth. In this period, extremely colorful fabrics rich in pattern and composition were produced. In this process, the foundations of the roller blind that we use today in curtain understanding were laid.

In our country, during the Ottoman period, Italy, France and candlestick fabrics were brought and used in palaces. In traditional Anatolian houses, the windows are small, buldan cloth, sea cloth and kanefçe embroidered calicos are used. During the Republic period, Bursa, Denizli, UÅŸak and Adana developed in fabric and weaving. All kinds of fabric produced in our country and Sümer Bank factories established by Atatürk have met all kinds of textile and home textile needs of our people. Today, our country is in a leading position in the curtain sector. All kinds of curtains and textile products produced in our country are sold all over the world.




The curtain is a curtain that is stretched to prevent the view of the interior from the outside and to ensure that the light does not enter. Although the curtain was used to prevent the appearance of something like this simple definition when it first appeared, its purpose today is changing more and more. Curtains, which have become an indispensable part of home decoration, have become an important element that decorates the house.
