(The rugs pictured on this page are 57 to 59 inches in diameter and are the exact ones that we send.)
All of our "laced" cowhides come from Brazil, the country that unquestionably produces some of the finest quality cowhides in the world. Each one of these beautuful rugs is painstakenly hand made by some of South America's finest leather craftsmen, artistically "lacing" together small pieces of cowhide. Being extremely durable, they make for ideal accent floor rugs or wall hangings. When one considers that the area of these 58" rugs is equal to the workable area of one whole cowhide and that they are hand made by master craftsmen, it's easy to understand how these exquisite rugs could easily cost much more in stores.
The leather is very supple and soft, unlike so many other cowhides on the market today that can actually be quite stiff. In addition, our manufacturers do not use any of the tanning solutions that can produce the unpleasant smell that many other cowhide products commonly have.
