Persian Marquetry Wall Clock – 55 cm

In the heart of Persian culture, where art and craftsmanship intertwine, there exists an ancient tradition passed down through generations—Khatam-Kari. This meticulous art form, celebrated in the historic city of Isfahan, combines wood, camel bone, and brass to create intricate geometric patterns that reflect Persia’s storied past. Paired with the vibrant beauty of Mina-Kari (Persian enamelwork), the art of Khatam-Kari transforms this wall clock into more than just a timepiece; it becomes a portal to Persian heritage.

Handcrafted by master artisans from Isfahan, this clock brings together two iconic Persian techniques in a single, harmonious design. Its body, crafted from fine wood and adorned with authentic Khatam-Kari inlay, frames an exquisite Mina-Kari dial. The enamelled dial, awash in rich blues and detailed motifs, evokes the spirit of Persian miniatures, a world of delicate beauty and symbolism. With dimensions of 55 cm in height, 50 cm in width, and 4 cm in depth, this clock has a commanding presence while remaining elegant and refined—a true centrepiece for any room.

Every detail of this clock speaks of time-honoured techniques and the devotion of Isfahan’s artisans. From the intricate Khatam-Kari patterns to the delicate strokes of the Mina-Kari painting, the craftsmanship embodies the patience, precision, and passion that have defined Persian artistry for centuries. As the clock hands move across the face, they carry the essence of Isfahan’s bazaars, where artisans have honed their skills over lifetimes, preserving a legacy that’s woven into the fabric of Persian culture.

Crafted by the skilled hands of artists committed to keeping their heritage alive, this clock is more than just a functional object; it’s a symbol of Craftestan’s mission to uplift artisan communities and honour their timeless art. Each tick of this clock is a nod to Isfahan’s legacy, a reminder of the dedication poured into every piece created in its workshops.

To own this clock is to embrace a piece of history and culture, to feel the pulse of Persia in every glance. It’s a gift of artistry and tradition, wrapped in layers of craftsmanship and meaning, bringing the soul of Isfahan into your home.
