About the Item
Brazilian Modernist Silver Card Holder by KUKAS, São Paulo, Mid-20th Century
Origin: São Paulo, Brazil
Maker: KUKAS Manufacturas
Period: Mid-20th Century
Material: Silver (hallmarked “87” for purity), engraved
Dimensions: 31,5 x 31,5 x 2 cm
Description
A sleek and elegant Brazilian Modernist silver card holder or ticket wallet, crafted by KUKAS Manufacturas in São Paulo during the mid-20th century. The piece is made in high-purity silver, stamped with “87”, indicating a silver content of 87%, which was a common regional standard prior to full adoption of .925 sterling conventions.
The surface is plain and unadorned, emphasizing a minimalist design ethos in line with Modernist aesthetics, while the craftsmanship reflects the quality and precision associated with KUKAS — a respected silversmithing manufacturer active in Brazil during the postwar period.
The reverse bears a clear maker’s mark reading:
“87 KUKAS / S. PAULO / manufacturas”, confirming its origin and authenticity.
Ideal for collectors of Latin American modernist silver or for use as a refined accessory in contemporary settings.
Condition
Very good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The engraved hallmarks remain crisp and legible.
