Isfahan Handicrafts

July 25, 2018 , IRAN , ESFAHAN

A Khatam artist is working in his shop in Isfahan, Iran. 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-Kari or Khatam-Bandi refers to the art of crafting a khatam. Common materials used in the construction of inlaid articles are gold, silver, brass, aluminium and twisted wire.
