Mercurial Candleholder

Mercurial Candleholder is a playful celebration of Persian marquetry (Khatam-kari)—a 700-year-old rare craft tradition. In this extremely elaborate process, hundreds of pieces of wood, metal and camel bone are carefully crafted together per square centimeter to produce intricate designs.

ZAHDEI creations have gone through a very elaborate and delicate process. To cherish your handcrafted piece for a longer time, please treat them as a piece of jewelry:

- Protect from heavy rain. Should it become wet, we advise to immediately dry it with a soft cloth

- Protect from exposure to intense direct sunlight and heat. As the product is made from natural materials continuous exposure will slightly change the colour

- Protect from sharp surfaces

- Clean with a soft cloth

ZAHDEI WORLD's idea is that at the heart of craft is playfulness, and through our products and process we wanted to recreate that space again.

This translates into allocating a dedicated budget from our product sales for play time: A space where our partners are financially supported to freely experiment and further develop their generational practice, as it has always been intended.

In this way, our artisan partners also regain their design-thinking skills, and acquire the tools to establish new sustainable markets lead purely by themselves. It also highlights that each ZAHDEI piece will be one-of-a-kind, having its own playful signature of the maker at the time of creation.
