Extra large cowhide rugs are truly magnificent, often measuring around 7.5' x 8' or even larger, with dimensions typically expressed in square meters. These stunning rugs bring a unique touch of natural beauty and sophistication to any home. You'll find them incredibly soft underfoot, instantly imbuing your living space with an unmistakable aura of comfort and coziness. One of the best parts is how easy they are to care for, ensuring lasting beauty with minimal effort. To help your large cowhide rug maintain its pristine condition for years to come, we recommend placing it in an area with lower foot traffic.
Should you notice any slight curling on the edges of your cowhide, a simple trick is to lightly mist the affected area with water, then place a heavy object on top overnight to gently flatten it out. For more stubborn curls, an exacto knife can neatly trim away any really curled spots. Dry household climates or high-traffic zones can sometimes contribute to this curling, so keep that in mind. It's also worth noting that natural cowhides will inherently possess a few unique characteristics, and sometimes a tannery may have made small, professional repairs due to the extensive and intricate tanning process required for these massive hides. These natural variations and minor repairs only add to the authentic character and story of your extra large cowhide.
Pets absolutely adore cowhides too! They make a fantastic, warm spot for your furry friends to lounge, especially on cold floors, adding to the overall comfort of your home.
We take great pride in sourcing our cowhides from non-rainforest regions in Brazil and Colombia. Each large cowhide rug undergoes a thorough quality inspection upon arrival and is then priced accordingly, reflecting its individual beauty and grade.
It's important to us that you know all of our cowhides are by-products of the meat industry. If these hides weren't carefully tanned into beautiful rugs, they would most likely be discarded as waste. Our tannery shares some fascinating statistics: only about 6% of cows processed for meat have their hides tanned for rugs, and of those, a mere 3% exhibit colors and patterns beyond the common black and brown. Choosing a large cowhide rug is not only a stylish decision but also a sustainable one.
