Немного истории

Commissioned by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar in 1805, the throne was designed by Mirza Baba Shirazi and royal stonecutter Mohammad Ebrahim Esfahani. It consists of 65 marble stone pieces from a mine in Yazd. The throne's supports are carved in the shape of men, women, fairies, and demons. It was modeled after the throne of Solomon, and the terrace was named Takht-e Marmar after the throne was placed there. On 2 March 2026, the throne was damaged by the shockwave of an airstrike on Arg Square during the 2026 Iran war.
