Cowhide rugs are beautiful accents for the home or
office. Cowhide rugs come in different patterns and sizes, making each one
unique. Please scroll down to information and tips on buying cowhide rugs on
eBay or anywhere else.
Cowhide Rug Savvy
First off, exactly what is a cowhide rug? There is
not a set-in-stone definition for a "cowhide rug" but most people use the term
to describe the tanned hide of a bovine (cow, steer, or bull) that is the right
size to be considered a rug.
Most often a cowhide rug will still have the hair on, but now always. If the hair has been left on and the
hide has been tanned properly the hair will be soft to the touch and comfortable
to sit on or for bare feet to walk on. |

Caring For Your Cowhide Rug
- To remove dust, dirt, etc. you can take your cowhide rug outside and
shake it or wipe it with a dry or damp (not wet) cloth. If your cowhide rug
has hair you can also brush it. If it has hair you should wipe or brush it
in the direction of the hair. You can also vacuum your cowhide rug when you
vacuum the rest of your rugs and carpeting.
- As with any rug, rotate your cowhide rug once in a while so that it
wears evenly.
When shopping for a cowhide rug on eBay...
- Make sure the seller tells you if the rug is new or used. Most of the
ones we have seen have been new but don't take this for granted.
- Make sure you know the size of the rug in exact measurements and take
into account the shape of the rug. Some cowhide rugs are fairly symmetrical
while others have pronounced points. If a rug has prominent points, and
it was measured from point-to-point, the main area of the rug may be smaller
than the measurements make it sound.
- Look closely at the rug to see if you like its shape. Each cowhide rug
will be very different in size and shape.
- Hide can be heavy to ship so know where the cowhide rug is being shipped
from and what the cost of shipping will be.
- Many of the cowhide rug sellers on eBay - but not all - will accept
returns. If you are in doubt that the cowhide rug you are looking at is
right for you be sure you know whether or not the seller will accept returns
and what conditions must be met to make a return.
