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.
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.
These handcrafted artworks are more than decorative pieces—they are storytellers of Iranian identity. The warm, inviting tones of copper reflect the vitality of Persian hospitality, while the intricate Khatam patterns evoke spiritual harmony, order, and celestial geometry. Each item carries the legacy of generations of artisans, preserving both the soul of ancient craftsmanship and the vision of contemporary Persian artistry.
Whether placed in a living room, offered as a memorable gift, or collected as a cultural treasure, Copper with Khatam Inlay items bring a touch of Persian soul into any space. Their radiant surfaces and refined detailing echo stories of past and present—uniting tradition with modern sensibilities.
Experience the elegance of Persian Khatam artistry, enriched by the warmth of copper. Let each piece be a celebration of heritage, beauty, and grace.
