This woven silk fabric with a floral repeat was designed in about 1880 by Bruce J. Talbert for Warner and Ramm. Talbert, an architect and furniture designer, was interested in Asian art and produced textile designs for several firms, including Warners, J. S. Templeton and J. W. & C. Ward. The pattern shows the influence of Japanese design in Britain at this time. The characteristic Japanese simplicity of line and colour is also seen in the work of E. W. Godwin and Christopher Dresser.
Founded in 1870 by Benjamin Warner, who trained at the Spitalfields School of Design, in London, the silk weaving firm of Warner & Sons has operated under several different names, and was called Warner & Ramm between 1875 and 1882
