Patterned fabric named for a Mideast capital (6)

I believe the answer is:

damask

(Other definitions for damask that I've seen before include "Fine linen with woven pattern" , "Type of table linen" , "Reversible fabric - type of rose" , "reversible material" , "Silk or linen material woven with pattern on either side" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
