Coco De Mer Or 'coco Fesse' On Base - Seychelles Islands - 20th Century
Sea coconut (Lodoicea maldivica) - natural sculptural nut
Exceptional coco de mer, the emblematic seed of the Seychelles, famous for its naturally sculptural and evocative shape. This piece features a distinctive bilobed silhouette, with generous volumes and harmonious curves, giving it a strong aesthetic presence.
The finely textured surface reveals beautiful brown shades with natural variations and a satin patina. Organic striations and irregularities testify to the authenticity of this rare seed, from the Lodoicea maldivica palm tree.
Mounted on an unobtrusive pedestal, it is showcased as a genuine natural objet d'art, both decorative and a curiosity. The coco de mer has long been sought after for its unique and symbolic character, somewhere between botanical rarity and collector's item.
