Apparently, it was a shoemaker who first used the expression "between bird cherry and lilac" (mellan hägg och syren in Swedish). He wanted a few days off in the early summer warmth and therefore hung a sign on the door with the text "Closed between bird cherry and lilac." And now we're almost there, in perhaps the most delightful time of the year. The sun finally provides some real warmth, and trees and bushes are just bursting with green. It's no wonder it's a time for celebrations. School graduations, higher-level exams, confirmations, perhaps a few baptisms. Just in time for the festivities, Stockholm Auction House presents the themed auction "Time for Gifts." Welcome to explore nearly 250 lots that all make excellent beautifully wrapped presents for all kinds of significant occasions.
A blue-turquoise vase with generous shapes by Stig Lindberg might be suitable for the newly graduated student. Perhaps an Omega Pie-Pan for the confirmand? And why not a bridal crown from Hälsingland in the turn of the century for the wedding?
But those are just three suggestions from an abundant selection during the time for gifts.
Welcome!
