FAQs

The Coco de Mer, or Lodoicea maldivica, is the worlds largest seed species native to the Seychelles, historically collected as prized Wunderkammer objects during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These botanical specimens consist of a thick, fibrous outer husk that hardens into a dense, woody shell, which is frequently hollowed and hand-polished for display.

Authentic historical specimens exhibit natural patination, dense polished surfaces, distinct growth seams, and structural wear consistent with organic aging rather than resin moulding.

A Coco de Mer serves as a dramatic sculptural centrepiece when placed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, complementing dark wood furniture and library settings.

Keep the organic shell in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and central heating sources, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth.
