About the Item
Khatam kari is a fine, meticulous marquetry technique whose earliest examples date back to the Safavid period (1501-1730). This technique involves inlaying fine wood, brass or camel bone rods to create motifs, usually star-shaped. Ivory, gold or silver can also be used. By skilful assembly, we arrive at the basic unit of the final decoration: a six-pointed star contained within a circle or hexagon. The finish is lacquered. The edges and central lozenges are in ivory. Usual wear, but good condition considering the fragility of the work to be preserved over time.
Persia, 2nd half of the 19th century.
