Naser al-Din Shah's slide
Naser al-Din Shah's slide was a slide in the subterranean baths of the Negaristan Palace in Teheran. The ''Encyclopedia Iranica'' notes that Western visitors commented on "the royal palace of Negārestān and salacious reports about its slide used for erotic purposes".〔''Encyclopedia Iranica'', France viii. Travelogues of the 18th-20th Centuries, citing J. de Pontevès de Sabran, ''Notes de voyage d'un hussard: un raid en Asie'', Paris, 1888, pp. 138-40〕
==Association with Fat′h-Ali Shah Qajar==
John H. Waller, commenting on Qajar Dynasty art, mentions that such a slide was used by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar and his harem:
Beyond range of the artists' canvases were even jollier scenes; Fath Ali Shah, it was said, happily whiled away the hours as, one by one, naked harem beauties swooped down a slide, especially made for the sport, into the arms of their lord and master before being playfully dunked in a pool.〔John H. Waller, ''Beyond the Khyber Pass: the road to British disaster in the First Afghan War'', Random House, 1990, p. 59.〕
The slide was described by Edward Granville Brown in his account of Negaristan Palace in Teheran:
a beautiful marble bath () furnished with a long smooth ''glissoire'', called by the Persians ''sursurak'' ("the slide"), which descends from above to the very edge of the bath. Down this slope the numerous ladies of Fath-'Ali Shah's harem used to slide into the arms of their lord, who was waiting below to receive them.〔Edward Granville Brown, ''A Year Among the Persians: Impressions as to the Life, Character, & Thought of the People of Persia, Received During Twelve Months' Residence in that Country in the Years 1887-1888'', CUP Archive, 1926, p.105.〕
The story circulated that the Shah lay on his back awaiting each of his many concubines. Ervand Abrahamian writes that according to legend, "Fath'ali did so every day naked so that his wives would slide down naked over him."〔Ervand Abrahamian, ''A History of Modern Iran'', ''South Asia Bulletin'', Volume 28, Issue 2, South Asia Association, University of California, Los Angeles, 2008.〕
