History
ANTICA was born from necessity and serendipity. Adnan
Orali and Michael Kourosh (http://www.rugsandmore.com)
were remodeling their homes and couldn’t find
the high quality furnishings they wanted at reasonable
prices. When they discussed their mutual frustration,
they realized that they could do something about it.
Both had over twenty years of award-winning retail
experience, international connections, and European
educations and associates. They began traveling the
globe and bringing home extraordinary pieces for themselves
and friends. ANTICA became a reality.
In addition to sharing a passion for beauty and harmony,
both Orali and Kourosh do business the old fashioned
way: by building relationships.
At ANTICA, you’ll find furnishings that Orali
and Kourosh have carefully selected for the cosmopolitan
lifestyle. |
