Salty#3❤️ 90" x 81" Extra Large Cowhide Rug

Cowhides make beautiful rugs for your home, offering a unique blend of rustic charm and sophisticated elegance. They feel incredibly soft underfoot, instantly imbuing your living space with an unmistakable aura of comfort and coziness. Generally, these rugs are very easy to care for, making them a practical yet luxurious addition to any room. To help your large cowhide last and maintain its pristine condition, it's a good idea to place it in a low-traffic area where it won't experience excessive wear, preserving its natural beauty for years to come.

If you notice any curling on the edges, a simple trick is to lightly mist the affected edge with water and then place something heavy on it overnight to flatten it out, restoring its smooth appearance. For more stubborn or really curled spots, you can simply and carefully trim them away with an Exacto knife for a neat finish. This curling can sometimes be caused by dry indoor climates or areas with high foot traffic. It's also worth noting that cowhides will naturally have a few unique characteristics, including minor imperfections. Sometimes, small repairs may have been expertly completed by the tannery during the long and complex tanning process, especially since large cowhide pieces are involved. These natural variations and subtle repairs don't detract from the hide's inherent character; instead, they add to its authenticity and unique story, making each Angus Oliver rug truly one-of-a-kind.

Pets absolutely adore cowhides too! They make a fantastic, warm spot for your furry friends to sleep, especially on cold floors, helping to maintain comfort throughout your home for all its inhabitants and adding another layer of cozy appeal.

Our cowhides are responsibly sourced from non-rainforest regions in Brazil and Colombia. Each large cowhide is meticulously inspected for quality upon arrival, ensuring you receive a premium product, and then priced accordingly to reflect its unique characteristics and condition, guaranteeing excellent value for such beautiful rugs.

Importantly, all of our cowhides are by-products of the meat industry. If they weren't expertly tanned into these beautiful rugs, they would most likely be discarded as waste. Our tannery shares some fascinating statistics: only about 6% of cows slaughtered for meat have their hides processed for rugs. Even more exclusive, only 3% of those cowhides feature colors and patterns beyond solid black or brown, making our unique selections, like those you might find at Angus Oliver, truly special and a rare find for those seeking distinctive home decor.
