There is a time when everything has come to life, the trees have regained their greenery, and summer awaits like a promise on the horizon. This time is known as "between bird cherry and lilac," and it often coincides with celebrations and festivities of various kinds. It might be a school graduation, a confirmation, or perhaps even a wedding.
What could be more fitting for such occasions than Gifts for Summertime?
Auktionshuset Kolonn presents 65 suggestions for things to wrap, give away, and turn into gifts that bring joy—and also become memories to treasure.
A simple yet delightfully elegant bouquet holder might be just such a gift. Perhaps the schnapps spoon by the 18th-century silversmith Sigismund Novosadi is the perfect choice to bring along. Or the Tutti Frutti vase, the four volumes of One Thousand and One Nights, the wristwatch from Omega? Suddenly the choices become difficult as you stand in front of Kolonn’s display cases. The Dutch silver box, the Karin Björquist bowl, and the salt shakers don’t make the decision any easier.
But if it's for a wedding—what could be more perfect than the glass bridal crown?
