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 and camel bone rods to create motifs, most often star shapes. Ivory, gold and 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.
Finishing is by varnishing.
The edges and central lozenges are in ivory.
Wear from use, but good overall condition given the fragility of the work to preserve it over time.
Persia, 2nd half of the 19th century
