The Dream Workshops of Persian Art of Khatam

Persian Marquetry, a Complex Handicraft called Khatam.
.
Khatam is a beautiful and unique art form that reflects the rich cultural heritage and aesthetic sensibility of Iran. In this video, we visited several Khatam workshops to see the process of making this art step by step. By just looking at the art you cannot tell that this is the process behind it.
.
Khatam is one of the oldest and most refined handicrafts in Iran. This Persian art dates back to at least the 15th century. This art was originally used to decorate royal palaces, mosques, shrines, and furniture. However, later became more accessible to the public. It was then that Khatamkari was applied to various objects such as Quran boxes, frames, mirrors, chessboards, musical instruments, and more. This Persian art reached its peak of popularity and perfection during the Safavid dynasty (about 400 years ago) when it was patronized by the royal court and the nobility.
.
For more information about Khatam, you can visit our website.

Hope you enjoy watching this video.

There is a similar artwork in Japan called Yosegi. Difference is that they use only wood of different colours to make the design.

In Spain, we call it "taracea". Nowadays, it only survives in two cities in the world: Damascus (Syria) and Granada (Spain).

Loud background music, or any music, especially while you are spiking, is a very bead idea.

[@Killi219]

I'm wondering how it's even possible to cut wooden strips that thin. Did you see how they do that?

[@Narcis_Complex]

Do you mean before they bundle them with bones and stuff?

[@Killi219]

@@Narcis_Complexyes! I am woodworker myself but I really wonder how they do that. Especially since the angles need to be perfect too!
