جعبه جواهرات خاتم — روکش ابریشم is assembled from thousands of walnut, jujube, camel-bone and mother-of-pearl slivers set into six-pointed stars. The slivers are cut to under half a millimetre and, once glued, the surface is sanded and polished in several passes. The ترنج خاتم geometry rearranges itself as you walk around the object. The قهوه‌ای و صدفی tones are entirely natural — no synthetic dye touches the wood.

The story

To restore missing stars of an old object he has spent weeks researching museum drawings. His workshop took root in اصفهان, where the smell of jujube wood and the fret-saw define the neighbourhood. The piece took ۴۰ working days, with every gluing and polishing stage logged. Each object is signed with a coloured sliver set into a corner. The artisan's full story appears in the certificate and on their profile page.
Polish khatam with alcohol-free liquid polish and a soft cloth. Avoid extremely dry or damp rooms; humidity swings make the woods move. Never soak the surface — water seeps between the glued layers.

A piece worth seeing

The colours are beautifully natural and eye-catching. It sits perfectly in our living room.

Good quality, slightly delayed shipping

Seeing the artisan's share itemised on the invoice meant a lot; it gave me confidence in the purchase.
