The Sardar Mofakham Mirror House is a Qajar-era mansion in Bojnord, North Khorasan province, Iran, built during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar by the city's mayor, Mofakham. Constructed in brick and tile with mortar, the house showcases *ayeneh-kari*, a distinctive Persian decorative technique in which finely-cut mirrors are assembled into intricate geometric patterns to ornament the interior. Now recognized as part of Iran's National Heritage, the building stands as a notable example of Qajar domestic architecture and the sophisticated decorative arts of nineteenth-century Iran.
