Very unusual markings, its fantastic!
Extra Large Cowhide Rugs are measured by square meter, so their exact dimensions can vary. Typically, you can expect them to be around 7.5' x 8' or a bit larger or smaller, making them a significant statement piece for any room. These beautiful rugs bring an unmistakable aura of comfort and coziness to your home, feeling incredibly soft underfoot. They're also generally very easy to care for. To ensure your extra large cowhide lasts for years, it's best to place it in an area with lower foot traffic.
If you notice any curling on the edges, a simple fix is to lightly mist the edge with water and then place something heavy on it overnight to flatten it out. For really stubborn curled spots, you can even carefully trim them away with an X-Acto knife. Dry indoor climates or high-traffic zones can sometimes contribute to this curling. Keep in mind that cowhides will naturally have a few unique characteristics; small repairs might have been made by the tannery during the long and complex tanning process, given the massive size of these hides. This in no way detracts from the inherent beauty and character of your large cowhide rug.
Pets absolutely adore sleeping on cowhides! They're fantastic for placing on cold floors, providing a warm and inviting spot for your furry friends and adding to the overall comfort of your home.
Our cowhides, including the impressive extra large cowhide options, are responsibly sourced from non-rainforest regions in Brazil and Colombia. Each cowhide is thoroughly inspected for quality upon arrival and priced accordingly, ensuring you receive a premium product from Angus Oliver.
All of our cowhides are by-products of the meat industry. If these hides weren't tanned into stunning rugs, they would most likely be discarded as waste. Our tannery shares that only about 6 percent of cows slaughtered for meat have their hides tanned for rugs, and of that small percentage, only 3% are colors and patterns other than traditional black and brown, making each one a truly special find.
