Item Details
Description
AN 18TH CENTURY FRENCH CARVED COQUILLA NUT SNUFF BOX modelled as a big nosed male wearing a tricorn hat. 57 grams. 8.5 cm x 4.25 cm. Note: The coquilla nut is in fact the fruit of the Brazilian Palm, which is closely related to the coconut palm. The nut is 3-4 inches long, and has a very hard, richly streaked brown shell that is capable of taking a fine polish. It is a source of palm oil. The tree also offers up a stiff, wiry leaf fibre that is used for making brooms and rope. Coquilla nuts were routinely converted into a variety of highly ornamental articles.
