The Haft Tan House is a Qajar-era mansion located in District 12 of Tehran and designated as an Iranian national heritage site. Characteristic of Qajar architectural tradition, the house employs a rich palette of traditional materials including aina-kari (mirror work), tile, plaster, brick, and wood—elements that exemplify the ornamental sophistication of nineteenth-century Persian domestic design. As a cultural property of national significance, the house represents the residential grandeur and decorative craftsmanship valued by the Iranian nobility during the Qajar dynasty.
