| Burchell Zebra (Equus Brchellii) |
| Animal Interiors’ Zebra Skins are professionally tanned and finished Plains
Game Zebra out of South Africa. They are legally obtained and exported with
required documents and imported into the US via US Customs, USDA, and US Fish
& Wildlife where we are licensed FWS and USDA importers. |
|
| When choosing one of our Zebra hides or rugs, it is important to understand the
strict grading criteria that we employ. This knowledge will assist our
customers in selecting a hide or rug that will best serve their needs.
Zebra hides and rugs are available as a "Grade A" , "Grade B", "Grade C"
or "Manufacturing Grade" skin. These grades are determined by the amount
and extent of blemishes found on the hides due to the effects of the Zebra's
natural, wild and often thorny environment. All our Zebra skin hides are fully
matured adult sizes, unless otherwise noted. Each Zebra is as different as
fingerprints with no two Zebras looking the same. They range in colors from
browns to black striping to yellowish creams to bright whites. A further
description of each grade is outlined below. |
|
|
| GRADE A+ Select/ Trophy Grade: About the top 5% of
all skins. Large Size. No to very little visible scars. No Hairslip. These are
basically as good as it gets. |
| |
| GRADE A Large and medium sized skins. Very few
markings. No Hairslip. These are the top 20% of the Zebra skins we obtain and
are hand picked for superb color and quality. |
 |
| GRADE B Zebra skin rugs are of an "excellent" quality with very fine
blemishes. The blemishes are hardly visible and do not detract
from the beauty of the hide or rug. Large and Medium skins. |
| |
| GRADE C Zebra skin rugs are "very good" quality with more noticeable
blemishes such as scratches or scars. However, these rugs can
still be displayed and their beauty enjoyed. Whole range of sizes—most of these
are mature Zebras. |
| |
| "MANUFACURING GRADE" Zebra skin rugs have a greater amount of
imperfections and are perfect for manufacturing purposes, however, these Zebra
skin rugs and hides can still be stylishly displayed . |
| |
 All the above Zebra skin rugs are
available with or without a black or Brown felt backing and border, however, we
do offer alternative colored borders to suit our clients’ decorating themes. We
are also beginning to offer colored Zebra rugs where the light striping is in a
color of choice to meet our customer unique needs.
We can also offer the Zebra skins without the head on them as well.
Our Zebra rugs and hides are extremely easy to care for due to our expert
tanning and preparation procedures, thereby assuring durability and longevity
of all our hides and rugs for many years of enjoyment.

| We fully 100% guarantee all our Zebra skin hides & rugs, as
well as all other products we sell. |
