The Grace of Copper with Khatam Inlay

A Fusion of Warmth and Precision

Khatam Kari, the ancient Persian art of marquetry, meets the timeless allure of hand-hammered copper in a rare and refined union. This elegant fusion blends the earthy glow of copper with the delicate geometry of Khatam—meticulously assembled from slivers of wood, bone, and metal to form dazzling mosaic patterns. Rooted in the royal ateliers of Safavid Persia, this hybrid craft is a modern ode to Persian mastery and imagination.

Crafting Harmony: A Layered Legacy

Creating a Copper with Khatam Inlay piece is a feat of precision and patience. The process begins with shaping copper into smooth, refined forms—often bowls, vases, or trays—through traditional hammering and polishing. Separately, skilled artisans design Khatam panels by arranging hundreds of tiny inlaid pieces into symmetrical stars and polygons. Once perfected, these intricate panels are delicately affixed to the copper surface, then sealed and lacquered for protection and lasting brilliance.
