NEWYDD PLATE
Plas Newydd was the home of two Irish women, Eleanore Butler and Sarah Ponsonby. It was not customary in 1780 for two women to leave their families and countries in order to escape their destiny as "daughters of a good family" and settle together. We discover today the universe of these two aesthetes who surrounded themselves with beautiful objects. Large mirrors, carved dark wood fireplaces and sophisticated furniture give their homes a Gothic feel. Many poets and intellectuals came to visit the "demoiselles de Llangollen".
