BROCADE Meaning and Definition

1. Brocade is a noun that refers to a richly woven fabric typically featuring raised patterns or designs, often made from silk or synthetic fibers. It is renowned for its luxurious appearance and intricate detailing. This organic, decorative textile is commonly used in the creation of elegant garments, upholstery, draperies, and other decorative items.

   Brocade is characterized by its dense weave structure, which creates a raised, embossed effect on the surface. This appearance is achieved by incorporating additional weft threads into the fabric, which are interwoven with the regular weft to form the intricate patterns. These patterns may be floral, geometric, or abstract in nature, and are typically highlighted by contrasting colors and textures.

   Historically, brocade has been associated with royalty and nobility, as it was historically created using expensive materials and required skilled craftsmanship. It has been used for centuries in various cultures around the world, including in traditional Chinese, Indian, Persian, and European textiles.

   In contemporary usage, brocade continues to be a highly sought-after fabric for special occasions, formal wear, and interior design. It adds an opulent touch to a wide range of items, from evening gowns to decorative pillows, making them appear lavish and extravagant. Brocade remains a symbol of elegance and refinement, valued for its beauty and time-honored craftsmanship.

2. Silk stuff, woven with variegated gold and silver threads, and raised flowers.
