He never really revealed his zeal for adventure and went about just because \u201cthe mountains were there.\u201d As a veterinary surgeon and superintendent of East India Company\u2019s military regiment, he first made the trip to these soaring hills in pursuance of Turkman horses. While he failed there, he gathered tons of knowledge and geographical data as well as fifty mountain goats. The fleece of this variety of goat that resided in parts of Tibet and Central Asia were exported to Kashmir from which the fibre was extracted, which came to be known as Cashmere. These were later made into the finest Kashmiri shawls, famously known as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/pashmina-shawl\/\"> Pashmina Shawls<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/cashmere-wrap\/\">Cashmere Wraps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-image-2024\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pashmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/William-Moorcroft-plauqe-in-Shalimar-Gardens-Lahore-where-Moorcorft-stayed-in-May-1820-1024x723.jpg\" alt=\"William Moorcroft's plauqe in Shalimar Gardens, Lahore, where Moorcorft stayed in May 1820 - Kashmir shawl and the paisley\" class=\"wp-image-2024\"\/><figcaption>William Moorcroft's plauqe in Shalimar Gardens, Lahore, where Moorcorft stayed in May 1820<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These pashmina shawls were in great demand by the English and later by the French, who both tried to make copies of the product. Moorcroft was unable to import the cashmere wool because of Kashmiri monopoly. Later, they tried to naturalize the goat. He sent his goats \u2013 males on one ship, females on the other. Unfortunately, there were no female survivors. Similarly, the French too experimented at their end, but it also resulted in failure. By now, Moorcroft understood that England and India could reap commercial benefits from further trade with Asia. He tried his best to convince the Britishers. They gave him a reluctant nod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/editorial\/7-reasons-to-love-cashmere\/\">7 Reasons to love Cashmere<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-discovering-evidence-of-kashmiri-shawls-through-travels\">Discovering evidence of Kashmiri Shawls through travels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, he set out on his travels to Asia. He had planned to travel via <strong>Yarkand<\/strong>, but since he couldn\u2019t get permission, he turned towards Kashmir. In October 1822, he reached the beautiful slopes of Kashmir and was stationed there for ten months. He closely observed the manufacture of these pashmina shawls and employed tens of thousands of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-image-2026\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"813\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pashmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Portrait-of-a-Young-Lady-in-a-Red-Dress-with-a-Paisley-Shawl-by-Eduard-Friedrich-Leybold-1824-813x1024.jpg\" alt=\"ortrait of a Young Lady in a Red Dress with a Paisley Shawl by Eduard Friedrich Leybold, 1824 - Kashmir shawl and the paisley\" class=\"wp-image-2026\"\/><figcaption>Portrait of a Young Lady in a Red Dress with a Paisley Pashmina Shawl by Eduard Friedrich Leybold, 1824<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He was really obsessed with the shawls and could do anything to make British shawls supreme all over the world. Moorcroft consistently tried to persuade Kashmiri shawl manufacturers to move to Norwich and Paisley. He also went to the extent of commissioning a native painter from his country. This man was to imitate the characteristic motifs from the executed Pashmina shawls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cashmere shawls with motifs became popular in the West during this stage. Documents suggest that these shawls were already made in Kashmir before the <strong>Mughal conquest<\/strong>. Emperor Akbar was so in awe of these shawls. He introduced the fashion of wearing two of these shawls, stitched back to back. They were also presented as gifts to the nobles as well as other stately people. It is also believed that the sultan at Constantinople accepted a large number of Pashmina shawls in 1739 from <strong>Nadir Shah<\/strong>, the Persian invader of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/editorial\/kashmiri-shawls-during-the-dogra-period\/\">Kashmiri Shawls during the Dogra Period<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-design-sensibilities-rich-motifs-in-shawls\"><strong>Design Sensibilities: Rich Motifs<\/strong> in Shawls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 17<sup>th<\/sup> and 18<sup>th<\/sup> centuries, the first design that was observed on Kashmiri shawls was a single flowering plant. This had roots and drew inspiration from English herbals. It was prevalent in the Mughal court in the 1600s By 1800, it evolved into a cone-shaped motif, popularly known as <strong>\u2018boteh\u2019<\/strong>. It is also called the paisley pine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-2025\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"823\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pashmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Popular-motifs-druing-17th-century-europe-Kashmir-shawl-and-the-paisley.jpg\" alt=\"Popular motifs druing 17th century europe - Kashmir shawl and the paisley\" class=\"wp-image-2025\"\/><figcaption>Popular motifs during 17th century europe - Kashmiri shawl and the paisley<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Several theories exist around this motif. It is believed that it first originated in ancient <strong>Babylon<\/strong> when it was shaped like a drop. It was used as a symbol to represent the growing shoot of a date palm. The palm was symbolic of food, shelter, clothing and came to be known as the <strong>\u2018Tree of Life\u2019<\/strong>. It had branches extending and later being considered a symbol of fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/black-white-pashmina-shawl\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pashmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Untitled-design-42-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Black And White Paper Mache Pashmina Shawl\" class=\"wp-image-4360\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Kashmiri Pashmina shawl hosts prominent motifs of paisleys in the labyrinthine Papier Mache work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the growing demand for Kashmiri shawls in Europe, several men weavers in Kashmir worked together to create a shawl. It would take anywhere between one and a half months to several years to create it. The British officials observed this rising trend and imitated these shawls both in Norwich as well as Paisley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-buti-much-in-favour\">The Buti - Much in Favour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also the <strong>buti<\/strong>, a similar motif that is smaller in size but is often seen in Indian and Iranian shawls. It might be solitary or be accompanied by several leaves but doesn\u2019t have a root structure. They sometimes appear in staggered rows, on the palla of a doshala. It was a favourite during the 1700s and in the 1800s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/blue-pashmina-shawl-palla\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pashmina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Untitled-design-43-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lapis Blue Handcrafted Pashmina Shawl\" class=\"wp-image-4361\"\/><\/a><figcaption>A Pashmina shawl hosts embroidery butis in a minimal pattern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is certainly a lot more to shawl design other than paisley. This was the predominant motif. The <strong>buti<\/strong> is versatile in nature and found application in several textiles. Sometimes, it was scaled down. It is often termed as \u201csemi-naturalistic\u201d in historical accounts and some say it comes from a characteristic tree in Kashmir. Another possibility is the Iran connection, and since Pashmina shawls were being exported there, the influence can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were several innovations that were introduced. This coincided with the rise in demand in the Western market. It was also matched up by the creativity of the artisans. It was further accentuated with a stunning border, which also had elements of the <strong>floral<\/strong> meander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/shop\/embroidered-pashmina\/\">Embroidery<\/a> does permit a greater field of design and these have distinct affinities. In fact, some of these motifs were also incorporated in floor spreads, wall hangings, or coverings of some kind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pashmina.com\/editorial\/5-types-of-hand-embroideries-that-are-done-on-pashmina\/\">5 Types of Hand Embroideries for Kashmiri Shawls<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evolved into a cone-shaped motif, also called the Paisley pine, the Kashmiri Pashmina shawls were highly sort after by the Europeans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[107,105,68,91,106],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.7 (Yoast SEO v17.7.1) -
