Couristan 9904-0002 - Mirage Vibrations Sunrise Rug
Become enchanted with the Mirage Collection by Couristan. Inspired by unique
Transitional designs, the combination of deep, rich colors and intricate
patterns creates a rug of exceptional beauty and brilliance. While most rugs are
woven from top to bottom, fringe to fringe, Mirage rugs are “cross-woven” or
woven sideways, on Wilton looms. This technique allows for the use of up to 24
colors creating ultra fine detail and a beautiful “abrash” effect. These subtle
color variations commonly found in handmade rugs are a direct result of
cross-weaving. Mirage’s lush fringe is not added or sewn on, but is actually a
continuation of the strong backing yarn of the rug, subsequently, all Mirage
rugs are hand finished. A unique drop stitch effect and multi-point weaving add
to the texture and dense pile that is characteristic of this 100% New Zealand
semi-worsted wool area rug collection. Let the mystique of the Mirage Collection
transform everyday rooms into magical places.

Category/Decorating Tip:
Modern Classic - This collection of area rugs is rich in texture and color. In choosing fabric
let the palette of the rug be your guide. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns with
them, patterns only enhance the total look of the room. In a contemporary
setting, you may want to try adding leather or suede. Textured fabrics with a
lot of surface interest in solids or jacquard patterns would also be a good
choice.
Note: Please be aware that actual colors may vary from those shown on

About Couristan Rugs
For over 75 years Couristan, Inc. has been a powerful name in the area
rug and broadloom industry. Owned by the Couri family for two generations
and operated today by brothers George G. Couri, Chairman and Ron J. Couri, CEO
and President, the company prides itself on having the most exquisite handmade
and power-loomed floor coverings available from anywhere around the world.
Founded in 1926 by brothers Basil J. Couri and George J. Couri, and
appropriately named "Couri Brothers," the company began its humble beginnings by
importing fine handmade area rugs from Persia. According to Ron Couri,
Couristan's CEO and President, importing area rugs from Persia was a difficult
task. "I remember listening to my father and uncle's travel stories. First they
took a ship to England, then another to the continent. Once in Europe they took
the Orient Express and then drove through the desert to Persia. They finally
arrived 32 days later. It was quite an adventure."
The first area rugs imported by the company were a few shipments of Sparta Rugs
from Smyrna. At the time, the company began affixing "Couristan" trademark
labels to the back of each and every rug it imported. This mark was composed
from the family's surname "Couri" and the frequently used suffix "stan",
referring to the region of small weaving villages in which the company imported
its rugs from. The company would quickly begin to broaden its horizons, as well
as its area rug offerings by importing rugs from India in 1927.
In the 1930's, Couristan began importing handmade hooked rugs from China
and braided rugs from Japan. At the time nearly 99 percent of the total
production of Japan's floor coverings were being exported to the United States.
According to Ron Couri, Couristan was regarded as one of the country's largest
importers of Japanese braided rugs from the 1930's to the 1960's. During that
time there wasn't much of a market for Oriental-design products in the United
States, but through Couristan's ingenuity and extensive design development, the
company was able to create a substantial marketplace for handmade Oriental
area rugs.
