Couristan has been a well known player in the carpet industry for

A two generation family ran business that was started by two brother
ins 1926. Basil Couri and George Couri who named the company Couri
Brothers. It began by importing fine handmade area rugs from Persia.
The quality of the carpet was so important to these brothers that
they made the long trip to Persia which took 32 days just to ensure
they had the finest quality rugs to send home.
Some of their first shipments came from Smyma and were Sparta Rugs
which then had their Couristan label attached to them. The name
Couristan was derived from the company name Couri and the small
region where the weaving villages were located called stan.
It wasn't long after when the company began to expand it's market
and by 1927 they were importing rugs from India for resale. In the
1930s Couristan began to import hooked handmade Chinese rugs and
Japanese braided rugs.
During the 1950s Couristan began importing quality broadloom rugs
as well as a variety of area rugs. Each year their lines continued
to grow and expand.
