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 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.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Cast bronze frame with verdigris in the recesses: natural ageing over decades.
Slotted brass screws fixing the mounts: early twentieth-century assembly.
Hand-bent brass pins linking the crystal drops: traditional chandelier construction.
Modern wiring and brass bulb holders: safe update to the older core.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This 1920 Louis Revival ballroom chandelier is made from clear cut crystal and patinated dark brown bronze. The structure incorporates an upper cone and a lower bag-shaped basket formed from chains of crystal beads and emerald cut shaped glass, mounted to a dark metal band adorned with raised foliate leaves. Fourteen radiating S-scroll candle arms carry individual candle lights fitted with glass drip trays, while the lower basket contains additional internal lighting. The piece terminates at the base in three graduated rows of teardrop crystals, suspended beneath a decorative top finial. Measuring 105 cm high by 92 cm wide and 92 cm deep, the chandelier provides substantial illumination for large reception rooms, dining spaces, and high-ceilinged halls. It suits grand interior settings requiring authentic period lighting with historic provenance.

FAQs

Originating in eighteenth-century France and revived in the early twentieth century, tent chandeliers feature an upper cone or tent of strung crystal beads tapering upwards, paired with a lower basket construction anchored by a metal band.

Traditional construction combines hand-cut lead glass or crystal droplets wired onto a cast bronze, brass, or wrought iron armature, often featuring turned candle sleeves and glass drip pans.

Authentic period examples typically exhibit hand-pinned crystal beads with subtle structural variations, patinated bronze or brass frameworks, cast metal decorative accents, and original wire pin connections.

A substantial crystal chandelier serves as a focal point above a dining table, in a formal entrance hall, or positioned centrally within a high-ceilinged drawing room to balance traditional ornament with contemporary proportions.

Dust individual drops regularly using a soft microfibre cloth; for deeper cleaning, apply a specialist crystal cleaning solution sprayed onto a cloth rather than directly onto the metal framework to prevent oxidisation.
