Royal Selangor size guide: how to choose the right size
1

Sleeves først — alltid

Hvert kort skal i syrefri sleeve før noe annet. Fingeravtrykk og mikroriper er den vanligste verdikilleren, og de kommer i det øyeblikket du håndterer kortet ubeskyttet.

Toploader eller binder

Kort du skal omsette eller gradere går i toploader; samlinger du blar i går i binder med sidelastede lommer. Aldri topplastede lommer i ringperm — kortene glir ut.

Skrin, mørke og stabilt klima

Oppbevar mørkt, tørt og stabilt: 40–55 % luftfuktighet og unna yttervegg. Treskrin med lokk beskytter mot både lys og støv — og ser bedre ut enn pappesker.

Forseglede bokser: ikke rør seglet

Uåpnet vare med intakt segl er verdt mest. Oppbevar boksen i original krympeplast, gjerne i beskyttende case, og løft aldri i plasten.

Online shopping makes it easy to miss the size. A piece that looks large and impressive in a product photo can actually be surprisingly small — or vice versa. Here's our guide to sizes and measurements for the most common categories in the Royal Selangor range.

Measurements in the online store

All product pages on Dano.no contain exact measurements in centimeters and weight in grams.

Pewter has weight

A Royal Selangor product weighs noticeably more than cheap alternatives — and it's part of the experience.

Mugs: 300–600 ml

Standard tankard holds 600 ml, small holds 300 ml. Tumbler glasses are 200-250 ml.

Figures: 8–35 cm

Figure sizes vary from miniatures of 8 cm to large collectors' pieces of 35 cm.

Picture frames

Royal Selangor picture frames are listed in the photo size they hold (not total frame size):

  • Small (4×6 inches / 10×15 cm): Compact and personal. Fits on a nightstand, shelf or desk.
  • Medium (5×7 inches / 13×18 cm): The most popular size. Balanced and versatile.
  • Large (8×10 inches / 20×25 cm): Statement size. Requires some space, but gives maximum effect.

Beaker and drinking-vessel

  • Shot beaker (30 ml): Classic tin shots. Small enough for the collection shelf, big enough to be functional.
  • Drinking cup (200-400 ml): Equivalent to a normal drinking glass. Good for whisky, beer and everyday drinks.
  • Tankard (500-600 ml): The classic pewter bowl for beer and cider. Holds a large pint of foam.

Figures and collectibles

Figures vary greatly. As a rule of thumb:

  • Mini/bookmark: 5-10 cm height. Fits in your pocket and as a companion to a book.
  • Standard figure: 10–20 cm. Most common for HP, SW and Marvel figures. Fits on a shelf without dominating.
  • Large figure: 20–30 cm+. Statement collector's item. Requires dedicated space.

The sizes of Royal Selangor products are consistent and well documented. You won't be surprised.

Candlesticks and decor

Candlesticks are specified in number of lights (1, 2 or 3 lights) and total height. A standard simple candlestick is typically 15–20 cm high and fits most standard candles.
