Cowhide rug black and white 200×200

This is the pattern most people picture when they hear the words cowhide rug: a milky cream field with black blots of irregular outline thrown across it. The close-up shot shows that the change from black to white happens within a single row of hair, with no soft border in between. Most of the patches sit near the spine and shoulders, while the lower half and the flanks stay almost clean.

Only one piece like this exists. On the next hide the blots will fall differently and the outline will differ too, so the gallery shows the actual item that will be shipped, not a sample of a range.

Black and white graphics argue with no palette, which is why this hide goes where colour is already plentiful: next to a bright sofa, on pale laminate, on a concrete floor, or laid diagonally by an armchair. If you want the reverse effect, a dark shape on a light floor, the range also holds Midnight Breeze. Neighbouring pieces sit in the Natural hides section.
