Miskin Manor
is a historic Grade II listed Tudor-style country house located in Pontyclun, South Wales, set in 25 acres of award-winning landscaped gardens.
The estate's history dates to the 10th century, with the current Victorian manor house originally built in 1864.
It is known for period features, especially the Minstrel Hall with its gallery, and lush Victorian and Edwardian terraced grounds.
Chandelier
The word chandelier appeared in the English language in the late 14th century, borrowed directly from the 12th-century Old Spanish. This was a new spelling of the 10th-century French word chandelabre, which comes from the Latin candelabrum, itself from the Latin candela (meaning candle).
The earliest candle chandeliers were used by the wealthy in medieval times.
The world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, is located in the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul. It has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons. Dolmabahçe has the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world, and one of the great staircases has balusters of Baccarat crystal.
