United States 
Largest fur companies of that period
As we‘ve already mentioned in our last piece of the blog, the boom of fur lasted throughout the years 1800-1850. At that time both women and men wore fur clothing. That uprising was partially due to shipping of fur from America and Canada in extremely huge quantities. One of the largest-scale fur companies of that time to be mentioned were “North West Company” set up in 1783 and “Hudson’ Bay Company” set up in 1670. The company “Misouri Fur Company” should also not be left out which is known to have exported the greatest quantity of beaver fur to Europe.
One more large company was established in Siberia; it was set up by the Russian family Stroganav. Their fur export extended even beyond the Urals up to the Bering Strait, reaching Alaska and even America. However, as we’ve noted before, this fur fashion was interrupted in the middle of the 19th century with its subsequent emergence only in 50 years.
