Now kept in the national treasure of the Central bank of Iran, this gemmed and enameled throne was made during Qajar era. Also called Naderi, the throne has no relation to Nader Shah but the Persian word Nader that means "rare and unique" in Persian. The throne was made by the order of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar and is seen in many paintings of his era. The throne was kept in Golestan Palace but it was later transfered to the National treasure of the central Bank of Iran. This throne was used in the coronation ceremony of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi for the last time.
