SMSP cowhides typically range between 7' x 6' and 7' x 7' in size, making them a substantial and eye-catching addition to any room. These large cowhide rugs offer more than just visual appeal; they provide a luxuriously soft feel underfoot, instantly elevating the comfort and coziness of your living space with their unmistakable aura. Generally, caring for your cowhide rug is straightforward. To ensure your beautiful cowhide lasts for years to come, we recommend placing it in a low-traffic area, preserving its natural beauty and integrity.
Should you notice any curling on the edges of your cowhide, a simple fix is to lightly mist the affected edge with water and place a heavy object on it overnight to flatten it out. For more stubborn or really curled spots, an exacto knife can be used to carefully trim them away. Factors like dry household climates or high-traffic areas can sometimes contribute to edge curling. It's also worth noting that cowhides will naturally exhibit a few minor imperfections; small repairs may have been expertly completed by the tannery during the long and complex tanning process of these massive hides. This doesn't detract from the unique character of your large cowhide; in fact, it often enhances its authenticity, a hallmark of Angus Oliver quality.
Pets absolutely adore cowhides too! They're fantastic for placing on cold floors, providing a warm and comfortable spot for your furry friends while contributing to the overall comfort of your home.
Our cowhides are responsibly sourced from non-rainforest regions in Brazil and Colombia. Each cowhide undergoes a meticulous quality inspection upon arrival and is priced accordingly, ensuring you receive a premium product.
All of our cowhides are valuable by-products of the meat industry. Without the tanning process that transforms them into stunning cowhide rugs, these hides would most likely be discarded as waste. Our tannery informs us that only about 6 percent of cows processed for meat have their hides tanned for rugs, and of that small percentage, only 3% of the cowhides feature colors and patterns beyond the common black and brown, making each patterned large cowhide truly special.
