This luxurious clock is a combination of 3 fine art of Iran, Khatamkari, Minakari, and Tazhib. The basic part of the clock is painted by turquoise Blue Minakari and the frame is made by classy Khatamkari with 4 wooden relief decorated with green and blue Tazhib.
➡️ What is Khatamkari the Persian Style Marquetry?
Khatamkari (Persian 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.
