About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive, large antique continental silver mounted coconut cup; an addition to our diverse silverware collection.
This impressive antique silver mounted coconut cup has a circular rounded form onto a circular pedestal foot.
The antique coconut bowl is embellished with four exceptional carved cartouches, each depicting a swagged heraldic blazon, ship or entwining snake design.
The decoration to the bowl incorporates geometric panels and cross hatching textures.
The upper portion of this antique coconut cup is encircled with the original sterling silver border to the rim.
The plain coconut vessel surmounts a fine and impressive carved wood pedestal and circular foot.
Note: Coconut cups were popular in the late 15th and early 16th centuries as it was believed that the shell of the coconut would act as a natural defense against poison.
