[1] The throne was made by the order of Fat'h-Ali Shah Qajar (1772–1834) and is seen in paintings of his era.
The throne was kept in Golestan Palace but it was later transferred to the National Treasury of the Central Bank of Iran.
It was intended to be portable, to be carried along when the Shah traveled to his summer residences.
Among the 26,733 jewels covering the throne, there are four spinels on the backrest, the largest of them weighing 65 ct.
Diaries written by travelers who visited Fat'h-Ali Shah's court at the time also mention a throne similar to this one, though the throne may have been refurbished by Naser al-Din Shah Qajar.
