Natural History: A Coco de Mer 1st half 20th century converted to a box with hinged lid 27cm.; 10¾ins high Coco de Mers were originally found floating in the sea, hence the name, since nobody knew where they came from and it was believed by many to grow on a mythical tree at the bottom of the sea. Famed for their resemblance to the female form, European nobles in the sixteenth century would often have the shells of these nuts polished and decorated with valuable jewels as collectibles for their private galleries. The true source of the nut was only discovered in 1768 by Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne in the Seychelles, and it is now endemic to only Praslin and Curieuse islands where it is now a protected species.
