Note:
The local glassworks and grinders in Naliboki Urzecze belonged to the Radziwill family and existed from 1722 to 1864. Workers were also recruited from Germany, especially from Saxony. A larger number of comparable chandeliers from the second half of the 18th century can be found in Nieborów Castle, which, according to a Polish art historian, are secured by invoices for the manufacture. The Manufactory exported such chandeliers mainly to Northern Germany, where they can be found in various castles. (12205011) (13)
