A sale so close to Valentine's Day could only end with a very romantic lot. The symbols are as follows: the quiver filled with the arrows of love, ready to be used by Cupid. A large flame, symbolising the fire of love and ardent love. The heart above it all is king! These symbols can be found on the upper register of the Flanders hearts, heart-shaped pendants given out on Mother's Day in Antwerp on 15 August.
