Cowhide rug chestnut 200×190 Chocolate Contrast

The colour here is visibly redder than on the other brown hides: not ginger and not chocolate, but mahogany, like freshly polished red wood. The dark speckling sits over the base tone and thickens towards the spine, while the white areas come out on the flanks as broad tongues with ragged edges.

The format is the most modest among the large ones, 2 metres by 1.9. That is roughly the area covered by an armchair with a floor lamp or by a small double bed, which is why this hide is often taken for a bedroom or a study rather than a living room. It is also the most affordable of the large formats at $1389.

If you want the same red range with a bigger field, look at Wild West. Choosing a hide for a sleeping area is easier in Bedside rugs.

The exact size and the outline belong to this hide alone and no second one can match them: on the next animal the white tongues will fall elsewhere. The figures state the distance between the furthest points, not the side of a rectangle. On laminate and tiles the hide slides, so an underlay is bought separately.
