Mirrored interiors of Iran palaces and holy places

Abstract

Typical mirrored interiors of Iran from the eighteenth to the beginning of nineteenth century are discussed in this article. Aesthetic, plastic, architectural and design peculiarities of such places in the Persian tradition are researched using examples of the Golestan and Saadabad royal complexes in Tehran, religious sights of Qazvin (the holy place Hossein Imamzadeh grave mosque and Friday mosque); the mausoleum of the descendant of Abraham, the prophet Keydar in Ostan-e Zanjan; the Sayed Alaeddin Hussein mosque, the Shah Cheragh mosque (blue or mirrored mosque), and Ali Ibn Hamzeh mausoleum in Shiraz. Peculiarities of the addition of mirrored sculptural elements, precious stones and silver plates to amalgamated glass in such complexes are clarified.

Streszczenie

Lustrzane wnętrza irańskich pałaców i świętych miejsc
W tym artykule omówiono typowe lustrzane wnętrza Iranu od XVIII do początku XIX wieku. Cechy estetyczne, plastyczne, architektoniczne i projektowe takich miejsc w tradycji perskiej są badane na przykładach królewskich kompleksów Golestan i Saadabad w Teheranie, zabytków religijnych w Kazwinie (mauzoleum Hossein Imamzadeh wraz z meczetem piątkowym); mauzoleum potomka Abrahama, proroka Keydara w Ostan-e Zanjan; meczet Sayed Alaeddin Hussein, meczet Shah Cheragh (niebieski lub lustrzany meczet) i mauzoleum Ali Ibn Hamzeha w Shiraz. Artykuł wyjaśnia specyfikację dodawania lustrzanych elementów rzeźbiarskich, kamieni szlachetnych i srebrnych płytek do amalgamowanego szkła w takich kompleksach.
