- Paisley Pattern - The Paisley motif is a decorative design element that originated in Persia (modern-day Iran) and became popular in the West during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is characterized by a teardrop-shaped or leaf-like design with a curved upper end and a tapered, pointed lower end.
In rugs and textiles, the Paisley motif is often used as a repeating pattern or border, and is typically woven or printed in contrasting colours to create a bold and vibrant look. The motif can vary in size and complexity, from small and simple designs to larger, more intricate patterns.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, shawls woven with Paisley motifs were highly prized luxury items, and were exported from Persia and India to Europe and America. The motif also became popular in the design of carpets, upholstery fabrics, and clothing.
