Tissue Box | Classy Khatam Marquetry | HKH7103 | Persiada

This Classy Khatam on wood tissue box with a hinged door and shiny star design is one of the most beautiful practical crafts. The inside of the box is made with beech wood and the cutter part is made with camel bone. The placement of the Khatamkari tissue box on the table is very eye-catching and evokes the feeling of traditional decor.

Khatamkari the Persian Style Marquetry is the incrustation pattern, generally star-shaped, with thin sticks of beech or Ziziphus wood, brass for golden parts and camel bones for white parts.

The Sticks are assembled in triangular beams and glued to create a cylinder. The cross-section is now a six-branch star which is cut, compressed and dried between two wooden plates, before being sliced for the last time, in 1 mm wide sections.

These sections are then plated and glued on the surface to be decorated before the shiny finish is applied.
