Dealer in textile fabrics (6)

I think it could be either:

draper

mercer

'dealer in textile fabrics' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mercer that I've seen before include "Textile dealer (historical)" , "Old tradesman" , "Dealer in textile fabrics" , "Dealer in textiles or dry goods" , "Dealer in fine cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
