KHATAM DISH

Persian craft of Khatam. Khatam is a type of marquetry, which involves the art of decorating a surface with small pieces of wood, bone, metal, and other materials.

To create a Khatam bonbon dish, skilled artisans start by selecting a wooden base for the dish. The base is then covered with a layer of glue and a thin sheet of bone or ivory is glued onto the surface. The bone is then cut into small pieces of various shapes and sizes and arranged in intricate geometric patterns.

In addition to bone or ivory, the Khatam technique also involves the use of other materials such as brass, copper, and silver. These materials are also cut into small pieces and arranged in patterns to create a stunning and intricate design.

Once the pattern is complete, the dish is sanded and polished to create a smooth surface that highlights the beauty of the Khatam design. The dish may also be coated with a protective layer of lacquer to help preserve the intricate design and protect it from damage.

Khatam bonbon dishes are typically small, decorative pieces that are used for serving small sweets or candies. They can be used as an elegant addition to a coffee or tea service, or simply as a decorative piece for display in a living room, dining room, or other space in the home.

The intricate and delicate patterns of a Khatam bonbon dish make it a beautiful and unique piece of home decor. The skill and artistry required to create such a piece are a testament to the long tradition of fine craftsmanship in Persian culture, and the use of natural materials such as bone, wood, and metal add an element of warmth and richness to any room in the home.

Iranian Art Calligraphy Cup…

I love my Iranian art calligraphy cup! The design is elegant and unique, and the quality of the ceramic is excellent. It shipped fast and came in perfect condition. Using this cup feels like a small daily luxury.
