Antique early 1900s French trench art cane
This unique walking stick was hand carved by a French soldier during the First World War. Coiling around the shaft is a finely carved snake, a powerful symbol often associated with vigilance, danger, and survival.
To escape the relentless stress and monotony of wartime life, soldiers often turned to creativity, repurposing available materials into what is now known as trench art. These deeply personal objects were made using limited tools and resources, resulting in raw, expressive works that reflect both hardship and resilience. Each piece tells a human story shaped by uncertainty, longing, and endurance.
This cane carries a tangible sense of history and would make a striking centerpiece in any World War I or military collection.
After more than a century, the cane remains in good condition and shows only minor signs of use. Over time, it has developed a beautiful natural patina that enhances its character and authenticity. The surface has been treated with antique wax, providing a protective layer and a subtle, soft sheen.

Vintage 40s traditional wooden snowshoes
These iconic “bear paw” snowshoes were handmade by Snocraft Inc. in Norway, Maine. They were issued by the U.S. Army during the Second World War to the 10th Mountain Division, which fought in the Italian Alps.
Their design was inspired by traditional Native American craftsmanship and features classic rawhide latticework stretched over wooden frames.
These snowshoes would make striking decorative pieces above a fireplace or displayed on the wall of a cabin, lodge, or man cave.
After more than 70 years, they remain in worn condition and show clear signs of age and use. They have been carefully cleaned and treated with antique wax to provide a protective layer and a subtle glossy finish. All leather parts have been treated with grease.

Antique 30s mountain boots
These leather mountain boots were made in the French Alps in the 1930s. They feature studded soles, originally designed to provide grip in mountainous terrain and suitable for early mountaineering use.
Today, they make a striking decorative piece and would be a perfect addition to a rustic interior, cabin, lodge, or store display.
After nearly a century, the boots are in worn condition. Over time, they have developed a rich patina that only adds to their character and charm. Due to their age and stiffness, I do not recommend wearing them; they are best suited for decorative purposes only. Please note that two lace hooks are missing on the top of the left boot.
