History of Royal Selangor

Malaysian pewter giant's transformative historical journey.

If you're curious about how industries shape national identities, "History of Royal Selangor" offers more than just a corporate tale. Through the lens of Royal Selangor, you'll delve into Malaysia's evolution, understanding how this pewter company's growth mirrors the country's own path from colonial times to present-day modernity. It's a captivating read for those interested in the confluence of history, business, and culture.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The discovery of tin in Kuala Lumpur in the late 19th century spurred a rush of miners from China to the burgeoning mining town. In 1855 a young pewtersmith named Yong Koon Seong sailed from the southeastern Chinese port of Guandong to Malaya. His journey led ultimately to the founding of one of the best-known pewter companies in the world, now known as Royal Selangor. This is a fascinating record of events in the history of Royal Selangor including the evolution and style of pewter products over the last 125 years.
