The Bulgarian's aesthetic sense and concept
of the world brands him create art come out of any material - wood
and clay, wool and copper, silk and silver.
Applied crafts have step by step issued from the narrow frame of
strictly domestic life to become an art which breeds art: Bulgarian
embroidery with its intricate geometric figures, Bulgarian rugs
and carpets with their alive colours, exquisitely painted Bulgarian
ceramics, fine adorned Bulgarian fretwork and superbly fashioned
Bulgarian jewelry.
The Samovodene Market in Veliko Turnovo,
the Permanent National Exhibition of Folk Art in Oreshak near Troyan
and the Etura architectural and ethnographic building complex close
Gabrovo are all original museums of the resuscitated beauty of Bulgarian
handicrafts.
You are bound to discovery your own particular memento derived
from Bulgaria here - a small carved wooden wine vessel, a Troyan
clayware set, a fleecy Rhodope rug, an master piece of silver jewelry,
a finely embroidered silk blouse of a colorful carpet.
Or you can just choose a phial of attar of roses by owning the
intoxicating aroma of the all Valley of Roses.
