with inlay inside. I can only find small with inlay and large with felt or velvet. Has anyone seen large boxes with inlay? Did Dubai Mall..anywhere else?

have you tried antique museum (it is a shop, not a museum, and you have to bargain hard)

thanks Irooni!! when are you coming back? I will dig up some pictures :) http://www.persianmemories.com/boxes/khatam/kh326.html . This box is simple, does not have the picture painted on the top, very nice. It is the Khatam on the inside I am looking for, not the felt or velvet. http://www.persianmemories.com/boxes/khatam/kh335.html . This size I am also looking for, simple with the Khatam inlay inside. So, that is 2 boxes. Can you email me if this would work? do you still have my email? I should have added that I have looked in the Wafi Souk, Dubai Mall Souk and souk where the restaurants are and other places I cannot remember names of....they have the very small boxes with inside Khatam but nothing bigger than 6 or 8 inches. So it would be great if you could bring back 2 but if you cant, thats ok :) edited by SueB on 23/09/2011 <em>edited by SueB on 23/09/2011</em>

SueB, could you post a picture or explain it a bit more? If you didn't find it here, I will be happy to bring one back with me for you.
