About the Item

19th Century carved coconut container featuring intricate dragonfly motifs on both the coconut shell and the silver banded closure. The coconut is skillfully incised with geometric and botanical patterns, while the central silver mount is finely repoussé and chased with detailed dragonflies amid foliage, adding a refined decorative touch. The two halves of the container separate to reveal a smooth interior, making it both a functional vessel and a decorative object. This piece combines natural materials with skilled silversmithing, reflecting 19th-century craftsmanship and an appreciation for nature-inspired design.
