La industria textil sedera de Toledo fue la más importante de toda la submeseta sur castellana durante la Edad Moderna y, hasta mediados del siglo XVII, la de mayor significación y alcance de España. Esa laboriosidad, unida a otras de menor entidad, daba a la ciudad el caracter de inmensa colmena que latia al ritmo de los miles de telares esparcidos por sus tortuosas y estrechas callejuelas. El siglo XVII y la primera mitad del XVIII fueron de postracion y ruina. Hacia la mitad de esta ultima centuria recibio un empuje con la creacion de la Real Compañia de Comercio y Fabricas que la volvio a situar en un lugar preeminente; pero solo fue un espejismo, pues a finales de la misma torno a decaer, y a partir del siglo XIX esa continua tarea, esa inmensa actividad, ese ritmico son diligente se convirtio en profundo silencio. De todo ese quehacer solo quedan algunas de sus maravillosas creaciones en las vitrinas del tesoro de la catedral y del convento de San Clemente.
