Mina

Mina is defined as a clear coating, which can be stabilized by heat on copper. Delicate and intricate designs are then hand painted on the surface of the mina creating these beautiful pieces in vase, plates, dishes and all other interiors.



Khatam

These delicate pieces are made by decorating the surface of wooden articles with different types of wood, camel bone and various types of metal including gold, silver, brass, copper and aluminium, precisely cut into geometrical shapes. This form of art dates back to the 16th Century and originates from what was then the capital of Persia, Isfahan.
