{"product_id":"handmade-afghan-heriz-rug-309822","title":"Handmade Afghan Heriz rug - 309822","description":"\u003cp\u003eSometimes it is challenging to determine where a rug was made. The design may be familiar, but the colours are not typical, nor is the weave the usual construction. This is one of those instances where the design originates from Heriz in north-western Iran, but it was actually made in Afghanistan. The colour palette of terracotta, pale blue, and soft gold works very well with the traditional Heriz design. The quality is mid-range, and therefore, this is reflected in the price. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":14849,\"3\":[null,0],\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,255],\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":11}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Heriz\"}'\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease click the hyperlinks below if you are interested in additional information.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Relevant information on the ancient Heriz rug.\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heriz_rug\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eHeriz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erugs are predominantly woven and produced in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Heris, Iran map location\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heris\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eHeris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, in northwest Iran.
