The history of this art in Iran dates back to Safavid era, and afterward it turned to one of the most popular arts in Qajar Period.

In this descriptive-analytical article, the author seeks to answer the questions that when was the Mirror Works of Shrine of Imam Reza (A. S. ), and in particular, the Dā ral-Sī yā dah portico done? Who and with what roles has been involved in Dā ral-Sī yā dah Mirror Works? What styles and patterns have been used in Dā ral-Sī yā dah Mirror Works? The findings indicated that the use of Mirror Works in the Shrine of Imam Reza (A. S. ) goes back to the late Safavid and early Qajar Periods and one of the earliest documents related to the Mirror Works of Dā ral-Sī yā dah belongs to the late thirteenth century AH. Along with the artists, officials have been involved in performing the Mirror Works of Imam Reza’ s (A. S. )shrine and they have used plaster works, sandblasting (Jī vitarā shī ), colored glass, Qur’ anic inscriptions, traditions, God’ s and Imams’ names, paintings, Candlestick, vase, flower and leaf designs, and geometric patterns, especially strap work, for decorating the Dā ral-Sī yā dah mirrors.
