THE ART OF KHATAM
Khatam is an ancient Persian technique of inlaying. It is a version of marquetry in which artisans decorate the surface of wooden articles with delicate pieces of wood, bone and metal, precisely cut into intricate geometric patterns.
A khatam trinket box this size is ideal for rings, cufflinks or earrings, and it makes a generous-feeling gift without the grand price. The same chovgan design comes in larger sizes in the Chovgan Khatam Kari Jewellery Boxes, and you can browse every style in our Persian jewellery box collection.
