Wooden Crafts of Gilan

In a green land covered with lush greenery and the ancient Hyrcanian forests, the creation of wooden artifacts is a common practice. Throughout Gilan and Mazandaran, there are hundreds of workshops and shops dedicated to crafting wooden products, ranging from tables and chairs to handmade kitchen utensils, bowls, plates, and cups.

History of Gilan Woodcraft

 In the past, the production of handmade wooden items was very popular, and local carpenters held a special status in the community. However, with the rise of factories and metal and plastic goods, this craft has seen a decline. Today, if you travel to the cities of Gilan, you will find that many carpenters have shifted their focus to creating luxurious and decorative wooden items instead of practical tools, keeping this industry alive and vibrant in various forms.

In addition to decorative items, practical tools such as chairs, tables, stools, and kitchen utensils like wooden spoons, ladles, cutting boards, and chopping boards are crafted by these local artisans and sold in local markets and upscale stores.
