{"product_id":"handmade-afghan-ersari-rug-295849","title":"Handmade Afghan Ersari rug - 295849","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Ersari rug has a lovely rusty red background and a cream, slate blue, and olive green design. This traditional pattern dates back centuries, but it rarely includes cream in the guls, which gives it a lift. This is a hard-wearing, practical piece suitable for any home location. It is made using hand-spun, vegetable-dyed wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease click the hyperlinks in Gold if you are interested in additional information.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErsari rugs are \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Knotted-pile_carpet\" title=\"what are hand knotted carpets?\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehand-knotted\u003c\/a\u003e using methods passed down from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Turkmen_rug\" title=\"Who and what are Turkmen?\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTurkmen\u003c\/a\u003e people of Central Asia.
