Les armes sont celles des van Varick, de Gueldre, accolées à celles des Campominoso, d'Anvers.

Pierre Sabsout de Varick était le fils de Pierre de Varick, bourgmestre de Delft. Il épousa Lucrèce de Campomenoso (1595-1653). Lucrèce était la fille de Cipriano Campomenoso, un marchand de Gênes qui s'installa à Anvers et y connut un grand succès. Dans une lettre au magistrat de Gênes datant du 10 octobre 1576, le consul de Gênes le décrit comme un marchand bien établi dans la ville depuis plusieurs années déjà. Les archives expliquent en effet que Cipriano traitait avec des marchands italiens de Gênes ainsi que certains installés à Londres entre 1574 et 1578. La famille fut ensuite élevée à la noblesse par l'empereur Matthias le 9 september 1615.

De cette alliance naquit Pierre-Cyprien de Varick, écuyer, seigneur de Carmin et de Dieval, grand-bailli de Lille, et chevalier d'honneur au conseil souverain de Tournay, créé chevalier
par lettres du 29 mai 1652.
