Cheetah Print Cowhide Rug

The Cheetah Print Cowhide is a handmade leather rug in an animal-print design. The design is easy to live with: enough detail to hold interest, not so much that it dictates the rest of the room.

Choose the size so the front legs of your seating sit on the rug in a living room, or so 18 to 24 inches of rug shows beyond the mattress in a bedroom.

Handmade construction means the rug was worked by artisans rather than stamped out by machine; expect a piece with character and a long working life. Each hide is naturally unique in marking and shading, so no two pieces are identical; shake it out and wipe with a damp cloth rather than washing.

Keep it looking right with a beater-bar-free vacuum, a half-turn every six months, and prompt blotting of spills. Slight differences in dimensions and colour between pieces are normal for a handmade rug.
