Vintage Canadian Wooden Snowshoes with Babiche (c. 1930–1950)

This pair of antique snowshoes comes from Canada and represents one of the most iconic designs used by explorers, hunters, and indigenous communities in the north during the first half of the 20th century.

Handcrafted from solid ash wood and woven with traditional babiche, they retain their original structure and leather bindings that preserve the historical character of the piece. The slender and elegant "beavertail" shape was designed to provide stability in deep snow, making these snowshoes both functional and beautiful.
