Caran d'Ache Varius Snakewood Silver Plated Rhodium Coated Fountain Pen

The Varius snakewood recognisable by its colour and its very fine grain, unique wood design comes from a rare tropical species 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 confer a unique appearance and an exclusive appeal to each one of the pens. The vivid grain of the wood, and the brilliance of the silver plate coated with rhodium, reveal a character that is untamed and powerful, yet elegant and original.
 It presented a special challenge to Caran d’Ache craftsmen: since it is a living material that alters over time, it has to be carefully stabilized to remain in perfect condition throughout the life of the instrument. Combined with silver-plating rhodium-coating, snakewood design pen barrel gives the collection a highly distinctive natural beauty.
The fountain pen comes with screw cap design, with flexible clip. It fitted with 18ct. gold nib with rhodium-coated. Cartridge/converter refilling system.
