inlaid work original
inlaid work original is one of the precious arts of Iran, which is known as one of the difficult and complex handicrafts, and its production and manufacture requires precision and patience. Since the ingredients of Khatam work are mainly wood and glue, and these materials get damaged with the passage of time, there is not enough information about the history of this art, but some masters of Khatam-making believe that Khatam was the miracle of Prophet Ibrahim. In the poems of the poets before the 9th century, wherever the name of Khatam is mentioned, it means a ring, and only one verse of inlaid work original, a poet of the 11th century, means the art of making a Khatam, cast a hundred patterns on my bones, it is as if the lips of Lal are tied to Khatam Wholesale of Iranian handicrafts

Arts or Khatam are nicknamed. In making Khatam, small triangles are made of wood (jujube, orange, betel, ebony, beech, etc.), bone (camel, elephant ivory), metal (gold, silver, copper, brass, etc.), glue (wood or sirish) are used, the small side triangles are glued together to form a larger star and the work continues in the same way until a large surface of the inlay is produced, then it is cut into thin sheets of 2-3 mm thickness. They are laminated and glued on the surface of the structure, such as a box, photo frame, etc., and the surface of the work is coated with killer or semi-polyester and polished Wholesale sale of Iranian backgammon

Then they stick them to the surface of the desired container and make the final payment. After the complete completion of the drawing and transfer of the seals to the surface of the desired object, various types of polished oil are applied on it so that the surface is waterproofed and not damaged over time
