The wood of the Brosnum tree, found in Guyana and Surinam, has a tiger red-brown appearance that resembles a snake and gives it its English name, Snakewood. Its contrasting colours, unique veining and rich variations make it a highly prized material for use in expensive turned objects. Untamed and powerful, the Varius Snakewood is also elegant and original, a perfect complement to the great adventure of writing. Its unique style is simultaneously simple and sophisticated, revealing the multiple facets of a strong personality. It is highlighted by the incomparable sparkle of metal fittings coated in rhodium, a treatment that provides excellent protection for writing instruments. The rarity of this metal, and the difficulty of extracting it, make it 10 times more expensive than gold.
Silver-plated and rhodium-coated body, cap and trims. "CdA" identification on cap. Rhodium-coated 18 carat gold nib: M. Ink pump or cartridges.
