Chandeliers632 viewsSupposedly ostrich eggs were put on the chandelirs to keep them free of cobwebs by repelling spiders. I don't know why ostrich eggs would repel spiders, and I didn't see any myself. I suspect that nowadays the cobwebs are taken care of by the cleaning crew.

Chandeliers725 viewsEvery room in the Palace seemed to have at least one incredibly elaborate and expensive Bohemian glass chandelier. Some had more than one. I'd hate to have to pay the electric bill.
