Story Behind the Art: The boteh—known in Farsi and recognized globally as the paisley motif—is one of the most iconic, symbol-rich designs in Persian rug history. Appearing in both highly intricate and minimally geometric variations, the boteh resembles a teardrop or curved leaf and has been interpreted as a symbol of fertility, life, rebirth, and the paradise garden central to Persian artistic philosophy. Scholars connect the motif to elements such as the pinecone, cypress tree, or even a stylized flame or seed of life. Whether complex or simplified, the boteh remains a defining feature in Oriental rug design, adding cultural meaning, visual identity, and timeless historical depth to the pieces that showcase it.
