About Royal Selangor
In 1885, a young pewter smith named Yong Koon arrived in Malaya from the Chinese port of Shantou, armed with little more than a set of tools and a determination to succeed. Today, Yong Koon’s humble enterprise is Royal Selangor, the world’s foremost name in quality pewter. Pushing the Boundaries Our designers and artisans continuously expand the limits of pewter design while staying true to our heritage of craftsmanship. Joining us on this journey are like-minded design collaborators such as the award-winning Erik Magnussen and Freeman Lau as well as cultural organizations such as the British Museum.
Symbols of Sporting Achievements
