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 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.
