hand-stitched cowhide rugs made in south africa

rug layouts

 

 

    solid hides have virtually no markings at all and most, especially the very pale or darker tones, are also fairly monochromatic, creating a plain-hued, uniform palette that is by no means boring the light playing off the surface makes it glow with a nacreous lustre. where there's a bit more variation in the tonal range as with the mid-hued colours such as beiges, tans, dark ivories & the lighter browns the effect is rather more of a random scattering of colour across the surface of the rug

    the uni-dom rug-layout is fashioned from either the mosaic , petite croix, pixel or jumble stitch-designs
