“The Paisley is an important part of Indian
Traditional Craft and culture. It has gone
through numerous changes and formation
to be the part of race. The designers are still
using the motif worldwide.”
by Ms. Jasleen Dhameja, a well known curator of Indian textiles and
author of renowned books, (cited on 5th June 2011 in a conference on Traditional Textiles
of India at Delhi)

Introduction and History…….
• Boteh is a Persian word meaning ‘bush’,
‘shrub' or ‘flower bud’.
• In Kashmir the name used to describe this
motif is buta or buti.
7/28/2014

• According to the historians and researchers –
Sultan Zein-al- Aabedin brought the buta motif
from Iran to India in Kashmir around 15th
Century- staring point of journey of buta

Development of the motif:

shawls- 16th to 18th century
• A single flowering plant

• This design gradually developed into an
upright spray of flowers
• By around 1800 became the stylized
cone-shaped motif known as the boteh,
which we now tend to call the Paisley
pine.

According to John Irwin former curator of Indian Collection at Victoria
and Albert Museum
“The floral butta motif became harder and
formally stylized in the mid-18th century, and
westerners eventually dubbed the design
"cone" or "pine". Paisley later became part
of the vocabulary when wool shawls crafted
in Paisley, Scotland (close copies of Kashmir
patterns) took off.”

printed, rather than woven
• Being able to purchase printed paisley rather
than woven paisley brought the price of the
costly pattern down and added to its
popularity.

were Britain and France.

PAISLEY’S TEMPORARY DEMISE…….
The paisley shawl showed a decline in early
1870’s because of various reasons:
7/28/2014
Pearl Academy, Delhi
49
One of which is that by
1870 a woven Jacquard
shawl could be bought
for £1.
Like any other luxury
good, once the shawls
were inexpensive
enough that every
woman could afford to
own at least one; no
one wanted to wear
them
7/28/2014

• The introduction of the
“bustle” in the late 1860s
also caused paisley’s
decline.
