Page 237 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

In 1920, L’École des Arts Cambodgiens was
founded in Pnom Penh as part of the National
Museum. The school is now known as the
University of Fine Arts.

The school had a “Goldsmiths and Founders”
department that taught the art of gold and silver
smithing.
It is believed that silver items from the department
were included in the offering of silver items within
the Cambodian Pavilion in the 1922 and 1931
Expositions.
