Squirrel pelts Our Squirrel pelts are superb quality. They are imported from Russia and the North of Europe and are grays. Imported from Novgorod as far back as the 11thC Squirrel was a huge commodity. Brought in by their thousands and initially a very high class fur. By the late 13thC to early 14thC they had fallen out of favour for items such as Lynx, Polecat and Mink. Originally called Vair, the lighter underbelly was highly prized and was known as minivair. The fur trade and the the Furriers Guild of Britain was founded on the trade of squirrel pelts. £9 per pelt |
