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.

Beautiful, gorgeous, and eye-catching

The service was quick. The noruz set was beautifully crafted and way more appealing in real life than the picture. Loved it and will definitely purchase more soon

Quality Handmade Items

My latest order from the Persis Collection was their minakari clock with Persian/Arabic numbers, which got here a few days ago. It arrived the same day as the replacement they had offered me for a minakari decanter I had previously ordered that had arrived damaged. Both pieces are hand-painted, and the intricacy of the design is incredible. They really brighten up the room, and also go well with a Mahmoud Farshchian print I have, as he uses those same celestial blue colors in his art. Thanks again to Arya for the great customer service!

Quality product and excellent service

I ordered the Norooz collection, painted ceramic eggs, mirror, etc. Good value, completed and complimented my table decorations. I received it very quickly and the service delivered is excellent. The first delivery was delayed and as soon as I mentioned it they sent me another set via express post. Thank you and I will be a returning customer and recommend them.
