Authentic cowhide adopts a fresh leopard print for fashion-forward flair. A variance in color and pattern is to be expected, and speaks to the one-of-a-kind nature of this rug. Chromium-free processing ensures eco-friendly tanning without the use of dyes. Each hide reflects its own unique character in a range of natural hues, so no two hides are the same. Handcrafted of naturally dyed hair-on-hide (Argentina) Item Weight (Lbs.): 9.0 Size is approximate; we recommend use of a rug pad (not included) Made in Argentina Please note: Rugs (especially wool rugs) are prone to a natural shedding process. With regular vacuuming, the shedding will decrease over time. Hand-knotted rugs tend to shed less than hand-tufted rugs, and flatweave rugs will shed less than those with a deeper pile, but all rugs will shed more in high-traffic areas than they do in lower-traffic spaces.Unfortunately, we cannot provide rug swatches at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. We recommend using a rug pad with every indoor rug to prolong its beauty by minimizing everyday wear and tear and providing a little breathing space to help prevent fiber damage. A pad also helps stabilize the rug, reducing slippage on hard floors. Shipping Direct from Vendor, usually ships within 45 business days.
