An introduction to
Khatam (Khatam-kari)
Khatam or Khatam-kari art is an ancient Persian technique of
inlaying. In fact, it is a special type of Marquetry. In this art
the surfaces of objects are decorated with very small triangles.
Khatams various designs have always been in the form of regular
geometric shapes. These geometric shapes are made by placing
small triangles next to each other. These triangles are made of
wood, metal, bone and oyster. The smaller and more delicate the
triangles, the better the inlay. In an inlay design, at least
three triangles are used to make the smallest geometric unit and
up to four hundred triangles for the largest. Inlaying is done on
both wooden and metal objects, especially copper.
How are Khatam-kari
products made?
To make the khatam layers, first thin
strips with a maximum thickness of 1.5 mm are made of wood, metal
and bone. Prismatic wires are made of these strips during a
special process. Then, by putting these wires together and gluing
them with a special glue and finally pressing them, geometric
volumes called Ghame are made. By changing the order of prismatic
wires next to each other, different designs and patterns of
Ghame will be obtained. Next, an inlay layer is obtained by
cutting thin layers with a thickness of 1 to 1.5 mm from the made
Ghameh. The inlay artist creates a custom design by using a
combination of inlay layers and pasting them on the desired
surface.
