About Bulgarian Revival Woodcarving
Bulgarian National Revival woodcarving is the dense iconostasis relief of the Debar, Samokov, Tryavna and Bansko schools — sun-rosettes and vine lattice cut deep into dark stained walnut, raised crests catching gold leaf above near-black shadowed recesses.
This design system translates that hand-chiselled ecclesiastical surface into the digital field: a walnut ground that is never cream, gilding confined to raised highlights, and old-world liturgical serifs that carry the weight of the church interior.
