The Bulgarian company sells its produce to British and other royal families in Europe, as well as to a series of emblematic museums worldwide. Carpets made in the village of Kostanovo adorn more than 200 palaces in the UK. In Mariana Nikolova’s words, the unique Bulgarian carpets have the potential to become part of the European cultural heritage.
