About Croscill
Croscill Heritage
The history of Croscill is intertwined with the history of the Kahn family, who, in the years before World War II, ran a small curtain manufacturing shop in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. In 1946, when George Kahn started the Croscill Curtain Company, he began the legacy of redefining home fashion traditions with the introduction of the innovative “Croscilla” window. For more than eight decades, Croscill has turned trends into standards and traditions into fresh ideas. Croscill has been redefining home fashions through persistent attention to detail and innovative design. Learn more about Croscill’s history throughout the years in the timeline below.
