Father's day: June 15

Symbolic gifts

Sometimes the story behind a gift makes it extra special. For example, Vincent van Gogh made the painting The Almond Blossom when his brother had become father to a son named Vincent Willem. The gift underlines the strong bond they had. Large, flowering branches against a blue sky of the almond tree symbolise young life and announce spring. Those sensitive to symbolism and interested in antiquity will find the Egyptian swallow capturing their imagination. The diligence of the swallow can be seen as a symbol of father's boundless energy. After all, fathers do a lot for their children. Butterflies are loved by many people. Apart from metamorphosis, the butterfly symbolises happiness, freedom and love.

Men of the time

A beautiful set of cufflinks is a great gift for dads who like to look stylish. But fashionable does not mean fashionably late. At Antique Style, you can find several decorative clocks that are great for a classic or country interior. A beautiful fireplace often forms the heart of a classic interior. A perfect place to show off a clock or Art Deco candelabra.
  

The outdoorsman

Some dads are always busy around the house. Chores, gardening, tinkering with the car, etc. For this target group, a gift that can be enjoyed outdoors is nice. That way, dad will think of you every time he comes home when he sees the striking door knocker. For some, the outdoors is inseparable from the love of animals. Numerous items at Antique Style are inspired by all kinds of animals in beautifully stylised shapes. But more loose and humorous interpretations are also represented for fathers who are always in for a joke.
