A radiant sun disk on its headboard and a consort of <a href="/facts/Fath-Ali_Shah_Qajar/fw2jNgu5">Fath-Ali Shah Qajar</a> give the throne each of its names respectively. The throne has the shape of a platform, similar to the <a href="/facts/Marble_Throne/zKF1IDcw">Marble Throne</a> in <a href="/facts/Golestan_Palace/pYJrjbJG">Golestan Palace</a>. The <a href="/facts/Naderi_Throne/pM0ydClc">Naderi Throne</a> was constructed later and has the appearance of a chair. Since 1980 it has been displayed at <a href="/facts/Central_Bank_of_Iran/uSnqbgyG">Iran's Central Bank</a>. </p>
