Persian Khatamkari Wall Clock with Hand-Painted Miniature Scenes – Late 20th Century

Decorative Persian wall clock crafted in an elegant octagonal form, richly adorned with fine khatam marquetry and hand-painted miniature panels.

The frame is extensively covered with intricate geometric khatam mosaic work composed of delicate star-pattern arrangements. Four hand-painted panels depict traditional Persian scenes, including equestrian figures and courtly characters, executed in vivid colors.

The central section features a domed glass cover protecting an embossed metal dial with stylised numerals and ornate hands, creating strong visual depth and a distinctive decorative presence.

The reverse shows a later quartz movement replacement. The movement has not been tested and is therefore sold as decorative/untested.

A highly decorative example combining Persian craftsmanship, miniature painting, and traditional geometric marquetry.

Condition:
Good overall decorative condition with minor age-related wear. There are small surface cracks and minor losses to parts of the khatam decoration, visible in the photographs.

Carefully packed and shipped securely.
