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.
As a large wooden jewellery box it holds necklaces and bracelets as comfortably as rings, which makes it a favourite wedding and anniversary gift. For the same size with gilded tazhib painting, see the Large Tazhib Khatam Kari Jewellery Box, or browse the whole Persian jewellery box collection.
