From the 19th-century the full Persepolitan form of the column was revived, initially by [[Parsee]]s in India<ref>Grigor, Tallinn, [http://krcama.org/product/identity-politics-in-irano-indian-modern-architecture-by-talinn-grigor/ ''Identity Politics in Irano – Indian Modern Architecture''], book summary, and also [https://books.google.com/books?id=stfWE8aAlz8C&pg=PA53 her article on Parsee patronage here]; see [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Modern_Achaemenid_architecture Category:Modern Achaemenid architecture] on Commons for many examples</ref> and [[Eclecticism in architecture|eclectic architects]] in Europe, and only later used in public buildings in Iran under the [[Pahlavi dynasty]] (from 1925),<ref name=Wilber>Wilber</ref> though the former royal palace in the [[Afif-Abad Garden]], of 1863, tentatively uses some elements of the capitals.

[[Reza Shah]], the first Pahlavi [[Shah of Iran]], promoted interest in the Achaemenids in various ways to foster [[Iranian nationalism]] and support the legitimacy of his regime.<ref>Amanat, Abbas, ''Iran: A Modern History'', 438–439, 2017, Yale University Press, {{ISBN|0300112548}}, 9780300112542, [https://books.google.com/books?id=88Q3DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA438 google books]; Grigor, 65, 68 note 35</ref>  Significant buildings in [[Tehran]] were supervised as to the authenticity of their style by European archaeologists, especially [[André Godard]], [[Maxime Siroux]] (both also architects), and [[Ernst Herzfeld]], who had been brought to Iran to dig, curate, and train students. These include the police headquarters and the [[Bank Melli Iran]] headquarters.<ref name=Wilber/>

Though the [[Islamic Republic of Iran]] prefers buildings that refer to [[Islamic architecture]], miniature Persian columns support the [[Scholars Pavilion]] donated to the [[United Nations Office at Vienna]] in 2009.<ref>{{cite web|title=Monument to Be Inaugurated at the Vienna International Centre|url=http://www.unis.unvienna.org/unis/pressrels/2009/unisvic167.html |publisher=UNIS|accessdate=29 November 2016}}</ref>
