FAQs

Khatamkari is an ancient Persian technique of marquetry and inlay, originating centuries ago in Shiraz and Isfahan, where intricate geometric patterns are formed using fine rods of wood, bone, and metal.

Authentic pieces are crafted by assembling delicate triangular rods made from woods such as ebony, teak, and walnut, combined with camel bone, brass wire, and sometimes ivory.

Authentic pieces feature microscopically precise geometric tessellations made from actual bundled materials rather than printed veneers, often displaying slight natural irregularities upon close examination.

Placed on a coffee table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, the intricate geometric patterns serve as an eclectic focal point that adds texture, warmth, and global heritage to modern spaces.

Keep inlaid items away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent the wood and bone from expanding, contracting, or losing the adhesives that secure the microscopic mosaic rods.
