Tabatabai House, or in Persian Khan Tabatabai, is a historic urban mansion in the oasis city of Kashan in the province of Isfahan, Iran. At the beginning of the 19th century, trade in Kashan was brisk, merchants grew rich and competed in the construction of luxurious mansions. The magnificent Tabatabai house was built in 1881 by the architect Ali-Maryam Kashani for a wealthy carpet merchant. The murals and stucco molding of the building were carried out under the guidance of the most famous artist of the Qajar era, Mohammad Ghaffari, who received the title "Kamal-ol-Molk" - "Earthly Perfection" for his unsurpassed talent.→
