c. 1960 Brazilian Prata 833 Silver Cigarette Box, São Paulo Hallmarked Lion Rampant SP 148, Hardwood Inset Acanthus Engraved Lid (550g)

$650.00
Antique or vintage Brazilian cigarette box in Prata 833 silver (83.3% purity), bearing a São Paulo assay mark featuring a lion rampant and “SP 148” control stamp. The piece is finely constructed with a dense tropical hardwood inset interior, contrasting against the silver exterior. The lid is decorated with a crisply engraved acanthus border, typical of formal decorative silverwork, giving it a classical neoclassical influence despite its South American origin. The combination of European stylistic influence and Brazilian assay marking places this firmly within mid-to-late 20th century export or domestic high-grade decorative silver production. At a substantial 550 grams total weight, and measuring approximately 1.5" x 5" x 7", this is a solid, well-proportioned desk or table piece. Suitable for collectors of Brazilian silver, decorative cigar and cigarette boxes, or fine inlaid presentation objects. Marked Prata 833 with São Paulo assay system, lion rampant and SP 148. A strong example of Brazilian silver craftsmanship with both functional and display value.
