Framed Persian Miniature Painting in Moorish Micro Mosaic Inlaid Marquetry Frame – Indo-Persian Artwork Stunning Middle Eastern Persian miniature painting, exquisitely hand-painted and framed in a vintage Moorish micro mosaic inlaid frame. This collectible piece showcases the refined elegance of Islamic art, merging the rich traditions of Persian miniature painting with the intricate craftsmanship of khatam marquetry. The finely detailed painting depicts a 19th-century royal polo scene, featuring royal princes dressed in traditional Maharaja attire riding horseback in vivid, vibrant color. The square-shaped frame is masterfully handcrafted using the ancient Persian technique of khatamkari, a meticulous form of micro mosaic inlay. This time-honored art form utilizes tiny slivers of wood, bone, and metal to create delicate geometric and floral Moorish designs—reminiscent of works found in the Doris Duke Islamic Art Collection and other notable museum holdings. The micro mosaic inlay, also known as Sadeli work, is a rare and highly sought-after craft, especially when combined with the luminous detail of a Persian miniature. This piece is a true testament to Indo-Persian artistry, offering both visual opulence and historic significance. Features: * Antique handcrafted Moorish frame with geometric Islamic design * Persian miniature painting on shell with royal polo scene * Museum-quality Indo-Persian craftsmanship * Frame dimensions: 13" x 9.25" * Ideal as a collector’s piece, wall décor, or focal point in any sophisticated interior * A rare fusion of Islamic, Persian, and Indian decorative arts circa 1950s. Perfect for collectors of Islamic art, Middle Eastern antiques, or enthusiasts of fine marquetry and micro mosaic inlay, this piece brings historical richness and unparalleled craftsmanship to your space.

Antique Persian Khatam Micro Mosaic Inlaid Jewelry Box with Miniature Polo Scene, circa 1940s This exquisite Persian Khatam Kari trinket box is a rare example of masterful micro mosaic marquetry, handcrafted in the 1940s using the ancient Persian art of inlay. Featuring an intricately detailed geometric design and a miniature hand-painted equestrian scene on the lid, this museum-quality piece is a stunning representation of Indo-Persian and Moorish craftsmanship. Khatam Kari, or Persian marquetry, is a centuries-old decorative art that flourished during the Safavid dynasty. It involves the meticulous inlay of thousands of tiny pieces of wood and bone into intricate, repeating geometric patterns—each symbolic of harmony and cosmic order. The top of this box is adorned with a finely rendered painting of royal figures on horseback, possibly princes engaged in a ceremonial game of polo, echoing the refined court culture of the 19th-century Persian and Mughal aristocracy. The box’s micro mosaic surface is covered in richly detailed star and polygon motifs typical of Khatam and Sadeli mosaic traditions. These patterns require precise mathematical planning and exceptional artisanal skill, resulting in a surface that is as intellectually complex as it is visually stunning. Details: * Origin: Asia Indo-Persian * Date: Circa 1940s * Materials: Inlaid woods, camel bone, hand-painted miniature * Style: Islamic Art, Moorish, Anglo-Indian, Micro Mosaic * Dimensions: Height 1.5 in. x Width 6.5 in. x Depth 4.25 in. * Condition: antique condition with minor wear consistent with age These boxes were traditionally used to store writing instruments or jewelry, and today they serve as timeless collectors' pieces, suitable for display or thoughtful gifting. Comparable examples can be found in major Islamic art collections, including the Doris Duke Museum of Islamic Art. Keywords: Persian Khatam Box...
