The Tabatabai House is a historic house museum in Kashan, Iran. It was built around 1880,[1][2] during the reign of the Qajar dynasty,[3] for the affluent Tabātabāei family.[4] It is one of the prominent historic houses of Kashan and Iran, together with the Āmeri House, the Borujerdi House, and others.[5]
Architecture
The Tabātabāei House was designed by Ustad Ali Maryam,[6] who later designed the nearby Borujerdi House,[4] and it has been restored.[5] It covers nearly 5,000 square meters and includes 40 rooms, four courtyards, four basements, three windcatchers, and gardens.[citation needed] It consists of the biruni ("exterior", the public area) and andaruni ("interior", the private quarters) features of Iran's traditional residential architecture,[2] and is decorated with stone reliefs, stucco, and stained glass.[5][3]
