In the next steps, these pieces are riveted together in order to make the desired object. Having cut the pieces, prepared pieces are filed and washed and put beside each other based on the original design.ĭifferent products are made and decorated by this method, but since proper space ought to exist for sawing, lattice working is done more on flat surfaces. Those parts of the design which must be cut first are drilled so that the jigsaw can pass through it. Sheets which are used for lattice working can have different thicknesses such as 8mm sheet and thinner, 1mm sheet, 2mm sheet and etc. In the next step, based on the thickness of used sheet and delicacy of design, a jigsaw proportional to the cut point is used. This action, in addition to keeping the design, causes that jigsaw to move easily on the designed lines.

In order to prevent it from being wiped during the cutting, the craftsperson embosses the main lines on the metal surface by semi-shape steel chisel. Our wooden lattice panels are available in two colours, a. After selecting metal plate proportional to the type of artistic work which the craftsperson wants to make, it is divided into parts and then the design is transferred on the metal surface by a design copy maker. This product has various names: wooden lattice grille, mission trellis, wooden grid panel etc. Nowadays, moshabbak or metal inlaid working is more prevalent in Isfahan and Tehran. Like other methods which are applied in metal industries, the antiquity of this artistic style goes back to humans first experiences related to metals like iron and copper. This word has been derived from Arabic infinitive of shabaka and it means lattice work. Moshabbak (lattice working) is a kind of decorative work which is performed on the surface of metals like gold, silver and copper.
