The Sultan Begum Shojaei House is a Qajar-era mansion located in District 12 of Tehran, Iran. Built in the distinctive architectural style of the Qajar period, the residence exemplifies the decorative traditions of nineteenth-century Persian domestic architecture through its use of aina-kari (mirror work), glazed tilework, plaster ornamentation, and brick construction. These materials combine to create the characteristic elaborate interior and exterior embellishments that define Qajar mansions of the era.
