Moarragh is An Iranian handicraft made of small pieces of different woods with different patterns and colour.
Moarragh (similar to abaculus, Abaciscus) is a branch of art created from arranging small parts of different materials besides each other.
Different types of Morarragh exist, e.g., Moarragh of tile, leather, wood, etc. Our work is related to Wood Moarragh. Design instructions: First, provide a piece of wood with proper length and width.
Its thickness may be about 15 mm. Other parts are mounted on it. This could be the surface of a table or buffet. Small parts of some trees, like walnut, boxtree, orrange, sour orrange, are used.
These are called to be self-color. The thickness of the particles are about 3-4 mm. They are cut into different shapes and attached to the plate. The holes between the particles are filled by polyester.
Later, the particles are rubbed to have an equisurface. No painting or artificial colors are used. All colors are natural. All lines are created by cutting the wood.
