Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Khatam kari is a fine and meticulous marquetry work, the oldest examples of which date back to the Safavid period (1501-1730).
This technique is an inlay work that consists of creating patterns, most often star shapes, by inlaying thin wooden, brass, and camel bone sticks. Ivory, gold, or silver can also be used. Through a clever assembly, we arrive at the basic unit of the final decoration: a six-pointed star contained in a circle or a hexagon.
The finish is done by lacquering.
The edges and the central diamonds are made of ivory.
Wear and tear, but good general condition given the fragility of the work to preserve it over time.
Persia, 2nd half of the 19th century.
