Persian Arts - Handcrafted Traditions

Persian Arts

Handcrafted traditions from Iran's master artisans

We work with skilled craftspeople across Iran to bring you authentic pieces that tell the story of three beautiful art forms: turquoise inlay, enamel painting, and marquetry.

Our Story

These aren't just decorative objects – they're pieces of living history. Each art form comes from a different region of Iran, where families have passed down their techniques for generations. We connect directly with these artisans to share their incredible work with the world.

Every piece takes weeks or months to complete by hand. The turquoise comes from ancient mines, the enamel fires are heated to exact temperatures, and the marquetry involves placing hundreds of tiny pieces with precision that would make a watchmaker proud.
