100% Undyed Rare Breed Icelandic Sheepskin Double - Black & Ivory Handmade in Somerset

Black & Ivory - 214 cm 88 cm There are sheepskin rugs, & then there are rugs like this. Handcrafted in our small Somerset workshop, Black & Ivory is one of the most dramatic Icelandic double sheepskin rugs we have ever created. Measuring an incredible 214 cm 88 cm, it is, without question, the largest Icelandic double sheepskin rug we have ever made. With over two metres of wonderfully wild Icelandic fleece flowing from end to end, it has a presence that is impossible to ignore. The colouring is entirely natural & completely undyed. Rich black fleece contrasts beautifully against striking ivory & cream sections throughout the rug, creating a bold monochrome appearance that feels almost too perfect to be natural. Yet every shade, marking & pattern has been created by nature alone. No dyes, no bleach, just the remarkable character of genuine rare breed Icelandic sheepskin. Made from two exceptional Icelandic fleeces, each skin was individually selected & carefully hand matched before being stitched together here in Somerset. The long flowing fibres create incredible movement throughout the rug, giving it an untamed appearance that feels both luxurious & authentic. Creating any Icelandic double is a challenge. Creating one of this size is something else entirely. Finding two fleeces with the length, character & visual impact required to create a rug of this scale took years, making it a particularly special achievement for our workshop. Since establishing our family workshop in 1986, we have worked with thousands of sheepskins, yet this remains the largest Icelandic double we have ever successfully created. Icelandic sheepskins are prized for their wonderfully long outer fibres & soft insulating undercoat beneath. The result is a fleece with extraordinary texture, depth & movement, unlike any other breed of sheepskin. As the light moves across the rug, the contrasting black & ivory fibres seem to shift & change, revealing new details from every angle. Whether draped across a sofa, laid beside a bed or placed in front of a fire, this extraordinary rug is guaranteed to become the focal point of any room. This is a true one-off. The natural markings, character & balance of these fleeces can never be repeated, making Black & Ivory a genuinely unique piece of handcrafted homeware. From our family workshop in Somerset, this rug represents everything we love about working with natural materials: traditional craftsmanship, exceptional fleeces & creating something beautiful slowly & carefully by hand. 214 cm 88 cm including the fur. A complimentary sheepskin brush will also be included with your rug purchase to help keep the fleece looking beautiful for years to come.

If you have any questions about the colouring or are after something in specific, you can email us at [email protected] & we'll do our very best to help! We do our very best to take these photographs in natural light & we do not alter the colouring post production. However as much as we try to give a clear reflection on the colouring, sheepskin is a natural product & in some lights tones may appear differently, this is the beauty of buying such a unique sheepskin. 100% Undyed Rare Breed Icelandic Sheepskin Double - Black & Ivory Handmade in Somerset
