This exquisite Persian artwork is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship, combining intricate Khatam marquetry with a hand-painted miniature scene on faux ivory.

The artwork is signed by the artist, adding authenticity and collectible value. Surrounding the painting is a meticulously crafted Khatam frame – an ancient Persian technique of inlaying delicate pieces of wood, bone, and metal to create intricate geometric patterns. The fine precision of the Khatam work showcases the artisan’s mastery and elevates this piece to a museum-quality decorative item. Khatam is a traditional Persian form of marquetry, where tiny slivers of wood, bone, and metal are hand-inlaid to create detailed geometric patterns. It is an art form that dates back hundreds of years, where each piece is assembled with incredible patience and precision, making Khatam both a visual and cultural treasure. Dimensions: 16" x 14"
