Looking for an impressive centerpiece for your living space? Our **extra large cowhide** rugs, typically around 7.5' x 8' or even larger, are sized by square meter, so actual dimensions can vary slightly. These stunning cowhides aren't just floor coverings; they're an experience, offering an incredibly soft touch underfoot and instantly elevating your home with an unmistakable aura of comfort and coziness. They're surprisingly easy to care for, too. To ensure your beautiful cowhide lasts for years, we recommend placing it in a low-traffic area of your home.
Should you notice any curling on the edges, a simple fix is to lightly mist the affected area with water, then place something heavy on it overnight to flatten it out. For more stubborn or really curled spots, you can easily trim them away with an exacto knife. Curling can sometimes occur in dry climates or very high-traffic areas. It's also worth noting that cowhides will naturally have a few minor imperfections. Small repairs might have been made by the tannery during the long and complex tanning process – after all, these are massive hides! These natural characteristics and subtle repairs only add to the unique character of your **large cowhide**.
Pets absolutely adore cowhides! They make a fantastic, warm spot for furry friends to relax on, especially when placed on cold floors, helping to maintain comfort throughout your home.
Our premium cowhides are ethically sourced from non-rainforest regions in Brazil and Columbia. Each **extra large cowhide** undergoes a thorough quality inspection upon arrival and is priced accordingly to reflect its individual beauty and condition.
We're proud to share that 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 informs us that only about 6% of cows processed for meat have their hides tanned for rugs, and of that small percentage, only 3% are colors and patterns other than the traditional black and brown. This means you're not just getting a rug; you're getting a sustainable piece of natural art for your home, perhaps even an **Angus Oliver** quality piece.
