VINTAGE PERSIAN KHATAM HAND PAINTED HUNTING SCENE WOOD QUILL PAPER DESK SET
This artifact is a Persian quill and paper holder.
The face shows a hunting scene with the figures carved out of the wood and painted with colorful ink.The border and the edge use a special Persian inlay technique called “khatam”, which uses tiny pieces of metal, ivory, and wood to create a geometric design.
Although the piece is almost purely decorative, it can be used practically, as a desktop organizer for paper and pens.
It was hand-made Iran during the qajar era (1794-1925 A.D). Shiraz is a city known for the arts and famous for its hand-made crafts, and this type of design is quite typical of the time period and region.
