The coco fesse or coco de mer is a fascinating object. Contrary to what one might think, it is not a nut, but the largest seed in the plant kingdom, that of the sea coconut palm. The coco fesse is specific to the island of Praslin, which makes it the emblem of the Seychelles.
Poached for its supposed aphrodisiac virtues or for its original appearance, it is now forbidden to bring it back from trips to prevent its disappearance.
The trade of coco fesse is now regulated, a light green stamp attached certifies its controlled origin.
Moreover, some of them are sometimes sold at auction, raw, carved or polished, in major auction houses such as Drouot, Christie's, Artcurial or Bonhams.
The coco fesse is an imposing and heavy object with irregular shapes. It always requires custom-made mounting.
Its height generally varies between 20 and 40 cm. Its weight and rarity also justify creating a suitable custom-made support for it. The custom-made base must be both solid and discreet for a successful display.
Thanks to our custom-made base service, we offer you the opportunity to choose together the shape, color and finishes of your base for a coco-fesse. Visit our workshop-boutique in the heart of the Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen

Whether for the polished coco fesse or the raw coco de mer below, we have created custom-made steel supports.
Their common points?
A straight central axis and a matte black painted finish.
Their particularities?
The first rests on a central element in the lower part (more suitable for small and medium sizes), the second is supported from below by metallic elements. This type of custom-made support allows the presentation of heavy and imposing objects.

The custom-made brass base is distinguishable from other bases by its curved foot and its multiple finishing possibilities.
The patina can be tinted and varnished, speckled, with a golden appearance, etc. This material is also more malleable, and we offer an original chrome finish for an even more luxurious result.
The coco fesse is the subject of craftsmanship and popular and local art. It can be transformed into sculptures, boxes, dishes, bowls, which represents an additional difficulty when creating the base.

The custom-made brass base can adapt to these specific curves. This custom-made support allows the box to be displayed open or closed. Art enthusiasts, you like to take care of your objects and works of art and also display them tastefully and safely.
