Декоративната украса на къщата „Клианти“ в Стария Пловдив
Decorative Trimming on the Klianti House in Old Plovdiv

Summary/Abstract: In 2005 the Klianti House was included in the international UNESCO project "Restoration of Cultural Monuments in Ancient Plovdiv Re­ serve", financed by the UNESCO Japan Trust Fund. The project leader on the Bulgarian side is architect Vera Kolarova. In the Ancient Plovdiv Architectural Reserve, the Klianti House is the most interesting in terms of its architecture and decoration. This text presents its decorative trimming in the context of its differences from other remaining Revival Era houses in Plovdiv. In order to clarify its characteristics, ties are sought with monument s from the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century in the territory of the Ottomai1 Empire on the basis of comparative historical and artistic material. The house is unique in its drawn wood ceilings and built-in cupboards, in its engraved images on glass, in its polychromatic and gold-leaf sculptural decoration. It is the only one of its type preserved in Bulgaria and dates from the end of the 1820s and the beginning of the 1830s.
