Abstract
This article closely examines Anglo-Japanese textile design and manufacture at Warner & Ramm in the 1870s and 1880s in order to demonstrate the dynamism of the concepts of luxury, novelty and exoticism (particularly with reference to Japan) in textile production and consumption in Victorian Britain. It contrasts the manufacture and consumption of Warner's luxury hand-woven silks in the Japanese style with the wider production and consumption of Anglo-Japanese textiles associated with the Japan Mania.
