Post-modern Pewder Candlestick holder by Royal Selangor, Pair

About the Item

Post-modern pewter candlestick holder pair by Royal Selangor featuring a geometric cylinder with a floating glass guard in the center. The candlestick takes from the sweep of Memphis based design popular through the 80s and early 1990s. Measures: 7.5" Tall X 4" Diameter Signed: "Selangor Pewter EM" Malaysia, 1980 Royal Selangor was founded in 1885 by Yong Koon in his little shop called Ngeok Foh, Yong Koon handcrafted pewter objects mainly for ceremonial use, such as joss stick holders, incense burners, and candle holders for altars of Chinese homes and temples. The pewter objects sold by Yong Koon were polished with "stone leaf", a wild tropical leaf of a fine, abrasive nature. With the arrival of British colonials, the offering expanded to include tankards, ashtrays, and tea services. The brand was then known as Selangor Pewter. In the 1970s, the company started exporting, first to Singapore and Hong Kong and then to Australia. Towards the 1980s, the market expanded into Europe and later into Japan. In 1992, the company changed its name to Royal Selangor to reflect its endorsement from Sultan Salahuddin, the Sultan of Selangor, dropping 'pewter' from its company name as its product range had expanded to include items from other materials.
