revival. They represent a traditional Egyptian craft responding to the emergence of mass
tourism from the late nineteenth century onwards. Rather than reflecting how Western art
and design adopted pharaonic imagery, khayamiya reflect how Egyptian craftsmen responded to Egypt’s pharaonic heritage, and in some ways encouraged Western visions of Egypt
centred around pharaonic history, in light of the commercial opportunities of tourism. This
discussion outlines the history and context of khayamiya, before exploring the emergence
of pharaonic-style pieces for the western market and their subsequent significant impact on
twentieth-century British design and fashion.
