Finding the perfect **extra large cowhide** rug means understanding that their sizing is typically by square meter, so actual dimensions can vary. Generally, these stunning rugs measure around 7.5' x 8' or larger, though some might be slightly smaller, each offering a unique footprint for your space. Cowhides are truly exceptional rugs for any home, providing a wonderfully soft feel underfoot and imbuing your living space with an unmistakable sense of comfort and coziness that's hard to replicate. Plus, they're generally very easy to care for, making them a practical and beautiful choice. To help your **large cowhide** maintain its pristine condition for years, it's best placed in areas with lower foot traffic.
Should you notice any curling along the edges, don't worry, it's an easy fix! We recommend lightly misting the affected edge with water, then placing something heavy on top overnight to gently flatten it out. For more stubborn or really curled spots, a simple, precise cut with an exacto knife can easily remove the issue. This curling can sometimes be attributed to dry indoor climates or areas in the home that experience particularly high foot traffic. It's also worth noting that cowhides, by their very nature, will typically have a few natural imperfections. Sometimes, small repairs might have been expertly completed by the tannery; this is quite common given the massive size of cowhides and the long, complex tanning process involved. These minor details, however, absolutely do not detract from the unique character and natural beauty of each hide.
Pets absolutely adore cowhides too! They make a fantastic, warm spot for your furry friends to lounge, especially on cold floors, significantly contributing to the overall comfort of your home for everyone, including **Angus Oliver**'s furry companions.
Our commitment to quality and ethical sourcing is paramount. Our cowhides are exclusively sourced from non-rainforest regions in Brazil and Colombia. Upon arrival, each **extra large cowhide** undergoes a thorough inspection for quality before being carefully priced to reflect its individual attributes.
It's important to us that our customers understand the origin of our products. All of our cowhides are valuable by-products of the meat industry. Without this tanning process, these hides would most likely be discarded as waste. In fact, our tannery has shared that a surprisingly small percentage—only 6 percent—of cows slaughtered for meat have their hides tanned for rugs. And of that small portion, an even tinier 3% are the unique colors and patterns beyond the common black and brown, making each one a truly special find.
