Online Store > Collections > Year of The Tiger
Royal Selangor heralds the Year of the Tiger with a collection that pays homage to the gallant beast. This exquisitely-crafted collection showcases the beautiful creature in various majestic poses that celebrate the good tidings of the New Year.
The limited edition Year of the Tiger plaque continues the tradition of earlier zodiac inspired pieces crafted by Royal Selangor. It shows a magnificent tiger that emerges from a deep winter slumber, roaring with all its might to herald the arrival of spring. Its sharp claws and fangs, as well as its domineering aura are featured in the plaque. Seen as a custodian of wealth and a protector from evil, the tiger is much admired as an icon of leadership, energy and courage. The plaque has a limited release of only 1,000 pieces worldwide.
Figurines of the tiger are also offered as part of the collection. The medium sized figurine displays the vigor and vitality of a prowling tiger while the small figurines (including a 24K gold version) feature a playful tiger cub. Mounted on a wood base in teak finish with an engraving plate for easy customization, they make excellent gifts for the season.
The Year of the Tiger collection includes a tea caddy steeped in auspicious connotations. Swirling tendrils of the calabash (or 'hulu' gourd) paired with the formidable tiger represents the wish for continuous wealth throughout the year. An auspicious Chinese phrase featured on the tea caddy also reinforces the good wishes and blessings of wealth. A motif of the tiger in pewter decorates the wooden cap of the tea caddy and creates a nice contrast. Also included in the collection is a set of chopsticks and chopstick rests which bear the delicate motifs of the tiger. |
