Where the Shah Sits,
The throne of the Shah of Persia is the most valuable one in the whole world, and its enormous dimensions and exquisite decorations would inspire a multimillionaire with awe.
It is of pure white marble, and is no less than 18 feet in depth by 10 feet wide. The actual seat is mounted on a large platform of the same material, and is upheld by fourteen spotless ivory pillars, carved in the shape of men and women; while the whole is covered with pictures worked in the purest gold leaf. Ascending to the platform is a staircase of solid gold.
