SEARCHING FOR A ZEBRA RUG: FOUND FROM FORSYTH

Zebra rugs have become part of the traditional design landscape. Adding a bit of exoticism and the impression of worldly travel, the vivid jolt of black and white can break up a room with just the right amount of pattern. Designers ranging from Todd Romano to Ryan Korban work with the varied animal print. Many faux options exist, which are ideal for those that do not want a former living creature in their home, but those that are in pursuit of finding true Zebra hides that are in good condition and beautifully made can search endlessly for the real thing.  When Anna Anglim of Forsyth Art reached out to me, I knew you would enjoy learning about her Zebra hides and pillows. Working with Burchell Zebra hides from Africa that are expertly tanned and finished, Forsyth is a go-to source for Zebra with both pillows and throw rugs.  If you have searched for the real thing, your pursuit ends with Forsyth.
