100% British Jacob Undyed Rare Breed Sheepskin Double Rug - Handmade in Somerset

Handcrafted in the rolling hills of Somerset, in view of the legendary Glastonbury Tor, by Sheepland the family sheepskin company, established in 1986. We are the only company in Somerset (if not the UK) who still make our 100% British Rare Breed Doubles by hand in our Workshop. We pride ourself on our excellent craftsmanship & stunning fleeces. Our rarest - & most coveted - sheepskin breed, the extraordinary Jacob, now crafted into an exquisitely luxurious double sheepskin rug. This is a piece for those who appreciate heritage, craftsmanship & the quiet exclusivity of owning something truly exceptional. Jacob sheep are among Britain's oldest native breeds, treasured for centuries for their unmistakable piebald markings & noble, multi-horned profile. Their history is woven into the tapestry of British rural life: believed to have been brought to the British Isles in the 1600s, their name reflects the biblical story of Jacob & his speckled flock. For generations they were kept on grand estates & parklands, admired not only for their beauty but also for their hardy nature & uniquely patterned fleece. Each Jacob sheepskin is entirely individual - a genuine expression of Britain's pastoral heritage. Finding Jacob fleeces of this calibre is rare; finding two that complement each other so seamlessly is nothing short of remarkable. After three decades of working day in & day out with British sheepskins, we know how exceptional this pairing is. Once we saw them in the Tannery, there was no hesitation - they were destined to become a truly artisan piece. This elegant double measures 194 cm 82 cm, with indulgently soft fleece & the deep, natural Jacob colouring that connoisseurs value so highly. Every stage of this rug's creation takes place on British soil. The sheep are bred & grazed in the UK, the skins traditionally processed, & the final tanning completed here in the South West using generations-old expertise. Choosing this rug means supporting British farmers, British craftsmanship & British heritage from start to finish. This piece brings quiet luxury to any interior, & looks particularly striking before a fireplace. Its natural fibres allow air to circulate, regulating temperature while offering incomparable comfort. Your rug will arrive with a complimentary sheepskin brush to help keep it looking immaculate for years to come. For those who seek authenticity, craftsmanship & the enduring beauty of true British heritage, this Jacob double is a rare find indeed. 100% British Jacob Undyed Rare Breed Sheepskin Double Rug - Handmade in Somerset
