Khātam is an ancient Persian technique of inlaying. It is a version of marquetry where art forms are made by decorating the surface of wooden articles with delicate pieces of wood , bone and metal precisely-cut intricate geometric patterns.

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.

Great products, tolerable website

I would give the products themselves a 5/5. Great products (looks and feel) and also great presentation upon delivery. The only somewhat negative aspect of the Persis experience is that the website is quite a bit buggy, and the prices that you see when scrolling through products rarely match the actual price that is displayed when you click on the product, which is a bit misleading. Edit: The products are not always great, I bought the immortal necklace and the length and look of the necklace were completely different than what was advertised, and the pendant was bent.
