Abbas Mirza (1789-1833), son of Fath-'Ali Shah, was born on August 26, 1789, in Nava, Mazandaran. He became Governor of Azarbaijan in 1798 at the age of 10. Abbas Mirza developed a reputation as a military commander during the Russo-Persian and Ottoman-Persian wars between 1804 and 1828. He died on October 25, 1833, in Mashhad.
Prince Abbas Mirza (1789-1833) was the second son of Fath-'Ali Shah Qajar and chosen to follow his father on the throne of Persia. Due to the fact that he died one year before his father in 1833, his eldest son Mohammad Shah Qajar succeeded Fath-'Ali Shah Qajar to the throne.
Purchased from M. Afshar, Geneva, in 2015.
