Display your coco de mer with our steel stand

How to display a coco de mer?

Create a custom base for this emblem of the Seychelles

The coco de mer is a fascinating object. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a nut, but the largest seed in the plant kingdom, that of the sea coconut palm. The coco de mer is specific to the island of Praslin, making it the emblem of the Seychelles.

Poached for its supposed aphrodisiac virtues or its unusual appearance, it is now forbidden to bring it back from trips to prevent its disappearance.
The trade of coco de mer is now regulated, a light green stamp affixed attests to its controlled origin.
Furthermore, some of them are sold at auction, raw, carved or polished, in major auction houses such as Drouot, Christie's, Artcurial or Bonhams.

The coco de mer is an imposing and heavy object with irregular shapes. It always requires a custom base.
Its height generally varies between 20 and 40 cm. Its weight and rarity also justify creating a suitable custom support for it. The custom base must be both solid and discreet for a successful display.

Thanks to our custom base service, we offer you the opportunity to choose together the shape, color, and finishes of your base for a coco de mer.

Examples of custom steel supports for coco de mer

Whether for the polished coco de mer or the raw coco de mer below, we have created custom steel supports.
What do they have in common?
A straight central axis and a matte black painted finish.
Their peculiarities?
The first rests on a central element at the bottom (more suitable for small and medium sizes), the second is supported from below by metal elements. This type of custom support allows the presentation of heavy and imposing objects.

Example of a custom brass display stand

The custom brass base is distinguishable from other bases by its curved foot and its multiple finishing possibilities.
The patina can be tinted and varnished, mottled, gold-colored, etc. This material is also more malleable, and we offer an original chrome finish for an even more luxurious look.

The coco de mer is the subject of local craftsmanship and folk art. It can be transformed into sculptures, boxes, dishes, bowls, which represents an additional difficulty when creating the base.
