Khatam Gift Set in Traditional Ghalamkar Box

🧿 This exquisite gift set is a celebration of traditional Persian artistry and craftsmanship. It features two timeless treasures:

• A 25 cm copper vase masterfully adorned with Khatam Kari—an intricate Persian marquetry technique that involves embedding delicate pieces of wood, brass, and camel bone into mesmerizing geometric patterns.

• A hexagonal wooden candy dish with three lids, also inlaid with Khatam patterns, showcasing the same precision and elegance on a natural wooden base.

Both items are tastefully nestled inside a handmade Ghalamkar fabric box (42 x 33 cm), crafted from cotton textile hand-printed with detailed floral and paisley motifs using carved wooden blocks—a hallmark of Isfahan’s textile heritage.

⚜️ The Khatam Kari on copper reflects a unique fusion of durability and elegance. Copper provides a warm, lustrous foundation that enhances the brilliance of the inlay work, while the precise arrangement of tiny inlaid pieces reveals the artisan’s patience and mastery. This form of decorative art, which flourished during the Safavid era, continues to be a symbol of Iranian identity and fine taste.

⚜️ On the other hand, Khatam Kari on wood offers a more organic and subtle charm. The natural grains of the wood beneath the inlay patterns give each piece a distinctive warmth, making them not just decorative, but collectible.

🎁 Whether you’re gifting it for a wedding, a diplomatic occasion, or simply displaying it in your home, this gift set conveys a deep appreciation for Persian heritage and aesthetic refinement.
