My guess this is a relatively recent and non-functional production. The top does not seem to agree with the style, it looks almost like a door knob.It is nailed to the shaft, and this is unlikely to be original... The koftgari is uneven, pretty basic and too intact to be truly old.
Overall, I think it is a Qajar or, more likely, Pahlavi-era bazaar piece.
Am I being too paranoid?
