Beluga Whale at Sea
£420
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and whimsical naïve style contemporary painting of a maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

A white beluga whale glides through rich blue waters, while above the horizon a tall sailing ship drifts beneath a soft pink sky dotted with small clouds.

Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the painting embraces clarity over realism. Perspective is intentionally flattened, proportions are stylised, and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. This simplicity enhances its whimsical, almost folkloric quality. The composition is clean and balanced, with strong horizontal divisions that give the work a calm, meditative rhythm.

The palette is bold yet harmonious: deep blues contrast beautifully with the warm rose-pink sky, while the pale whale stands out as the focal point. Brushwork appears smooth and controlled, with areas of flat, opaque colour that emphasise the graphic quality of the composition.

This oil on board is housed in a brown painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Grove in Repose
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling abstract landscape with figures composition, painted in oil in 1946 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

The Guard
£250
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and beautifully crafted Flemish tapestry artwork from the 1970s. featuring a stylised figure in ceremonial attire. It is full of bold colour, character, and cultural flair.

The weaving technique is tight and clean, showing care in craftsmanship despite the playful design. The piece celebrates cultural attire and heritage, showcasing Flemish woven folk traditions.

The tapestry is stretched within a wooden frame using visible cord lacing, emphasising its handcrafted nature. The frame is made from smooth, light-toned wood with dowel joints and rounded edges, giving it a rustic, functional elegance that enhances the folk-art feel.

The tapestry and frame is in excellent vintage condition.

Difficult Tableau
£350
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

This painting showcases Durling’s distinctive abstract vocabulary—tactile, spatially quiet, and emotionally charged through texture and colour. It feels like a visual diary entry composed of silences punctuated by vivid moments.

Durling introduces small blocks of intense, saturated colours including jet black, fiery orange, acidic yellow, and forest green, scattered throughout the pale background like thoughts breaking through quietude. Thick, painterly textures dominate the surface. The paint is almost sculpted, making the canvas a physical object as much as a visual one. This adds emotional depth—you sense that each mark carries intention and presence.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame again complements the painting beautifully—earthy and solid, grounding the delicate and expressive content within.

Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

Things Far and Near
£350
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

This painting showcases Durling’s hallmark abstract language—minimal yet emotionally charged, textured yet airy. It’s a small piece that feels quiet but confident, introspective and balanced, like a private rhythm unfolding in colour and texture.

As with much of Durling’s work, the surface is highly textured, with thick layers of paint that create a tactile, almost geological quality. The canvas feels worked, scraped, and layered, like time embedded in paint.

The background is dominated by a soft minty green and pale pink base, giving the work a calm and gentle tone. Accents of bold black, vibrant orange-red, buttery yellow, and bright white interrupt the softness in bursts.

Despite its abstraction, this piece feels personal and evocative. There’s a delicate tension between order and spontaneity, between soft space and strong marks.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame is a perfect match for this kind of subtle abstraction. It provides a visual anchor without stealing any attention, and its rustic quality echoes the organic textures in the painting itself.

Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Geometric Collage in Raw Sienna

Sold

SOLD

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

Centred in the upper half is a soft pinkish-orange circle, and in the lower half, a deep maroon or burgundy circle, both crisply defined but softly textured. The background is a heavily textured rust-brown surface, almost like oxidized metal or aged earth. It’s speckled with natural-looking marks, scuffs, and tonal variation, creating a sense of history and suggesting time, wear, and process.

The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang, Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

The Craft of Two
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet impactful mid-century figurative scene capturing two figures seated side by side and absorbed in an activity, painted in oil onto canvas.

The figures’ forms are simplified into soft blocks of colour, giving the composition a lyrical stillness: one figure in a warm rose-brown dress, the other rendered in deeper charcoal tones. Both bend slightly forward, hands engaged over a table, suggesting companionship, focus, and the quiet rituals of everyday life.

Painted in a distinctly modernist, reductionist style, the artist has distilled the scene into broad, confident shapes rather than fine detail. The palette is muted yet harmonious: pale greys, warm browns, sandy yellows, and touches of turquoise that lift the composition. The background is kept intentionally understated, allowing the figures to hold the emotional weight of the piece.

Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and opaque: applied in thick, purposeful patches that gradually build the forms. Edges are softened, merging figure and space in a way that feels intimate and contemplative.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Garden by the Water
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet very effective charming landscape painting that captures a quiet outdoor terrace set against the gentle shimmer of a lakeside horizon, executed in oil onto board and dated 1981.

At the centre, a white table and chairs sit bathed in warm afternoon light, their forms softened and abstracted by expressive painterly strokes. Surrounding them, lush trees and shrubs frame the scene, creating a sense of intimate seclusion with just a glimpse of the expansive water beyond.

The composition blends representational elements with looser, gestural abstraction. The palette is harmonious and atmospheric – cool blues and greys of the sky and water contrast beautifully with the earthy greens and muted browns of the foliage and ground. Thick impasto brushstrokes bring exceptional texture and movement to the surface, particularly in the foliage where the paint is applied in layered, energetic swirls. The terrace furniture is rendered with creamy whites and pale yellows, catching the light and adding a striking focal point within the natural setting.

Overall, this is a wonderfully evocative piece: capturing the tranquillity of a sunlit moment outdoors, conveyed through confident colour work and richly tactile brushwork.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary white painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Farmyard Geese
£70
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1972 textile artwork is a charming and vibrant handwoven tapestry that captures a stylised pastoral scene with a distinctly mid-century folk-art feel.

At the forefront, a small group of white geese with orange beaks and feet stand together on patterned ground rendered in blocks of green, orange, grey, and ochre. Behind them, a traditional half-timbered thatched cottage is depicted in a highly geometric and simplified way—its yellow roof and blue-paned windows contrasting sharply against a bright cobalt-blue sky filled with rhythmic vertical strokes.

The composition is bordered by a narrow red frame and set against a neutral linen backing, giving it a crisp and contained presentation. The overall design is bold yet playful, with an emphasis on pattern, symmetry, and texture rather than realism.

Typical of the 1970s Scandinavian and Northern European textile aesthetic, this piece blends warmth and modernity—balancing homely rural imagery with strong graphic abstraction. The craftsmanship, use of colour blocking, and tactile quality of the woven surface all contribute to its charmingly naive yet sophisticated appeal.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Red Roosters
£75
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1973 textile artwork is a striking, handwoven wall tapestry that captures the essence of 1970s Scandinavian modernist design — bold, playful, and deeply textural.

The composition features two stylised birds facing each other in symmetrical balance, their beaks nearly touching as if in conversation or ritual. The birds are rendered in vivid shades of magenta, red, orange, and pink, set against an earthy brown and olive backdrop that enhances the vibrancy of their plumage. Their bodies are richly patterned with repeated eye-like motifs in black and white, adding a rhythmic, almost totemic quality to the piece.

Floral or feather-like forms rise vertically behind each bird, in flaming tones of violet, orange, and yellow, creating a sense of movement and vitality. The tapestry is bordered by a neutral linen mount that both softens and frames the intense colourwork.

Executed with a masterful sense of geometry and folk-inspired abstraction, the work feels both decorative and symbolic — celebrating nature, symmetry, and craftsmanship. The combination of strong contrasting hues, simplified forms, and tactile woven texture make this a quintessential example of early 1970s Nordic textile art, exuding warmth, character, and playful sophistication.

The Fruit Tree
£70
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1976 textile artwork is a beautifully expressive handwoven tapestry that captures the spirit of Scandinavian modernist design with a touch of whimsy and surrealism.

At the centre stands a stylised tree with branching limbs rendered in deep shades of indigo, teal, and plum. Instead of natural foliage, the branches bear striking, eye-like fruit in vivid oranges, pinks, reds, and purples — each orb outlined with black and white stripes or concentric shapes, giving them an almost mystical or watchful quality. Beneath, smaller tulip-like forms in turquoise, violet, and magenta rise like decorative ground flora, adding a rhythmic base to the composition.

The backdrop is composed of vertical bands of blue — from light azure to midnight — creating a sense of depth and twilight atmosphere. The entire woven section is bordered by a neutral linen mount, giving it a clean, contemporary presentation that contrasts beautifully with the saturated hues.

The piece exudes both harmony and imagination: its bold abstraction and graphic patterning are softened by the tactile warmth of wool. The artist transforms a simple motif — a tree — into something symbolic and joyous, evoking themes of growth, mystery, and interconnectedness.

It’s a quintessential example of 1970s Scandinavian textile art — modernist yet folk-inspired, decorative yet poetic, bursting with colour and life.

Autumn Branch
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1971 textile artwork is a beautifully understated handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet elegance of nature through a refined modernist lens.

The composition centres on an arching branch adorned with elongated leaves in a radiant autumnal palette—burnt orange, rust, amber, and ochre—balanced by softer greens, olives, and hints of yellow. The branch stretches diagonally across the weave, creating a gentle sense of movement and rhythm, as if caught mid-fall in a soft breeze.

The background is a textured grey wool, its natural tones lending warmth and subtle depth that allow the vivid leaves to stand out in rich contrast. The tactile weave enhances the sense of organic softness, inviting both visual and physical appreciation. Mounted neatly on a neutral linen backing, the piece has a restrained, naturalistic harmony.

Though simple in subject, the artwork demonstrates a sophisticated command of colour and form. The stylised leaves and rhythmic composition reflect a distinctly Scandinavian modern aesthetic—one that celebrates craftsmanship, seasonal change, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.

It’s a serene and timeless 1970s textile piece—calm, contemplative, and beautifully evocative of autumn’s fleeting beauty.

Buds Against Blue I
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a beautifully handwoven tapestry depicting a stylised still life of flowers in a jug — a subject deeply rooted in Scandinavian folk and modernist traditions, interpreted here with bold simplicity and a painterly sense of form.

A light blue jug with sweeping, fluid curves anchors the composition, its elongated handle and spout rendered with sculptural elegance. From it rises a lively arrangement of green leaves and yellow buds, their shapes softly abstracted and harmoniously layered. The artist’s use of tonal greens — from olive to mint — against touches of ochre and white creates a balanced rhythm of light and movement.

The background is a deep, velvety navy that enhances the vibrancy of the floral forms, bordered by a rich teal frame that adds structure while maintaining a sense of softness. The initials “LW” woven subtly into the lower left corner suggest the maker’s personal touch, adding to the tapestry’s charm and individuality.

Executed with refined craftsmanship and a keen eye for colour harmony, this piece exemplifies 1970s Scandinavian textile art — where natural motifs, handwoven tactility, and modern abstraction coexist beautifully.

Elegant yet homely, it captures the quiet poetry of everyday life — turning a simple vase of flowers into a timeless composition of texture, colour, and warmth.

Vikings
£80
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1972 textile artwork is a bold and richly stylised handwoven tapestry depicting a Viking ship — a motif that beautifully blends Scandinavian heritage with the modernist textile aesthetic of the 1970s.

The central form of the ship is simplified into sweeping, geometric curves: a strong, arching hull rendered in earthy greens and blues, with a rhythmic row of circular shields in warm ochres, oranges, and reds adorning its side. Upright black forms rise from the ship, evoking both oars and masts, giving the piece a sense of vertical balance and quiet power.

Above, a stylised sail unfurls, composed of vivid stripes in red, orange, and gold against a cream field, framed by a band of deep blue that mirrors the sea below. The interplay of bold primary and secondary tones — red, blue, yellow, and green — is masterfully balanced, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

The piece is mounted on a neutral linen backing, which enhances its sculptural quality and allows the saturated colours to stand out with clarity.

This tapestry captures both motion and monumentality: it feels ancient and modern at once, echoing the spirit of Nordic mythology and craftsmanship while embracing the clean abstraction and rhythmic design sensibilities of 1970s Scandinavian art.

A striking tribute to cultural identity and artistry — strong, symbolic, and beautifully woven.

Wildflowers
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a delicately handwoven tapestry depicting a bouquet of wildflowers rendered in a charmingly naïve yet expressive style.

Set against a soft sky-blue background, the composition features a lively arrangement of blooms — bright red, golden yellow, violet, and deep blue — emerging from fine green stems and leaves. The flowers vary in size and orientation, creating a natural sense of movement as though freshly gathered from a meadow. The stems subtly twist and overlap, giving the piece a graceful, organic rhythm.

The tapestry is bordered by a simple dark brown edge, which frames the scene and contrasts gently with the pale background. Mounted on a neutral linen base, the overall presentation feels both rustic and refined, characteristic of Scandinavian or Northern European textile design from the period.

The handwoven texture adds a tactile warmth to the piece, with each coloured thread contributing to the impression of a lovingly crafted, one-of-a-kind artwork.

Balancing simplicity and elegance, this piece captures the essence of 1970s modern folk art — a celebration of nature through stylised form and harmonious colour, evoking a quiet, nostalgic beauty that remains timeless.

Under the Sea
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970 textile artwork is a playful and colourful handwoven tapestry that encapsulates the cheerful modernism of Scandinavian design from the era.

At its centre swims a stylised fish, depicted in bold geometric forms and bright hues of orange, yellow, lilac, and coral pink. Its body is segmented with rhythmic stripes, and a round blue eye pops vividly against its pale face. The fish’s form, while simplified, conveys a lively personality — it seems almost animated as it glides across the composition.

Surrounding it is a softly variegated blue background suggesting water, with hints of movement rendered through gentle tonal shifts. Black, linear motifs rise vertically on either side, resembling underwater plants or reeds, grounding the fish within its aquatic world. Above, a few horizontal yellow dashes evoke the glimmer of sunlight filtering through the surface.

Mounted neatly on a light linen backing, the piece balances playfulness with craftsmanship. The artist’s use of strong contrast, simplified forms, and tactile weaving brings warmth and charm to a simple subject.

This tapestry beautifully captures the optimism and stylised naturalism characteristic of early 1970s Nordic textile art — an enchanting fusion of folk whimsy, mid-century abstraction, and childlike joy.

Yellow Posies
£50
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1976 textile artwork is a warm, handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet beauty of nature through a distinctly 1970s Scandinavian modernist sensibility.

Depicting a cluster of stylised yellow and ochre blossoms, the piece radiates a gentle autumnal glow. The flowers — rendered in tonal variations of golden yellow, mustard, and amber — are scattered rhythmically across a richly textured brown background. Subtle greens emerge from below, suggesting stems and foliage, grounding the composition with natural balance.

The artist’s approach is both abstract and organic: the blooms are simplified to essential rounded forms, their soft edges blending harmoniously into the earthy backdrop. The interplay between light and dark tones gives the flowers a quiet luminescence, as though illuminated by late afternoon sunlight.

Mounted neatly on a neutral linen border, the tapestry exudes an understated elegance. Its palette of browns, yellows, and greens evokes a deep connection to the natural world — a hallmark of Scandinavian textile art from the era, where craftsmanship and nature coexisted seamlessly.

Peaceful and contemplative, this 1976 work feels like a woven ode to the changing seasons — warm, tactile, and full of quiet life.

Silver Moon Folktale
£50
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a captivating handwoven tapestry that merges myth, fantasy, and modern abstraction into a richly coloured composition typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

At its centre stands a regal female figure — possibly a queen or an ethereal spirit — distinguished by her long flowing blue gown, slender form, and small golden crown. Her dark hair and serene, pale face draw the eye immediately, creating a striking focal point amidst the surrounding geometry of colour. She appears to stand on a circular stage or pedestal, her form tapering elegantly as it rises, evoking both poise and stillness.

Above her, a luminous sphere — perhaps a moon or an orb of light — glows softly, while behind her, a tapestry of vertical colour blocks in purples, blues, and greens forms an abstract forest or curtain-like backdrop. The angular, overlapping shapes lend the piece a rhythmic sense of movement and depth, as if the scene is unfolding in a dreamlike theatre.

The palette — a harmony of cool blues, violets, teals, and greens — creates a mystical, nocturnal atmosphere, enhanced by the softness of the woven texture. Mounted on a light linen backing, the work feels both structured and ethereal.

This tapestry beautifully embodies the 1970s Nordic modernist aesthetic — combining storytelling and symbolism with bold design and craftsmanship. The result is an enchanting, almost fairy-tale-like image that feels timeless, mysterious, and quietly majestic.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Poppy
£40
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a graceful handwoven tapestry depicting a single red poppy in bloom — a simple yet striking celebration of natural beauty, rendered in the understated modern-folk style typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

The tall, vertical composition enhances the elegance of the subject: a slender green stem rises confidently from the bottom edge, supporting a vibrant red flower with delicate gradations of crimson, orange, and coral. The poppy’s dark centre provides a point of contrast and visual depth, while a smaller, unopened bud gently bends alongside, adding a sense of life and continuity.

The background is a soft, heathered mix of greys and creams, creating a tactile neutral surface that allows the colours of the flower to stand out vividly. A subtle yellow inner border frames the design, drawing the eye inward and giving the piece a quiet, sunlit warmth. Mounted on a pale linen base, the presentation feels both modern and organic.

The overall effect is serene and timeless — a study in restraint and harmony. Each woven thread contributes to the tapestry’s handmade charm, where simplicity of form and richness of texture coexist beautifully.

This work encapsulates the spirit of 1970s Nordic design: nature-inspired, soulful, and crafted with a deep respect for the tactile poetry of the woven medium.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Variegated Poppy
£40
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a charming handwoven tapestry featuring a single red poppy, rendered with the clarity and simplicity characteristic of Scandinavian modern-folk design.

The elongated vertical format gives the composition an elegant, almost poetic presence. Rising gracefully from the base, a slender green stem branches into an open poppy blossom at the top — its rich red petals softly variegated in tone, with a dark central core lending definition and depth. Beside it, a small, unopened bud bends tenderly, adding a note of natural rhythm and gentle asymmetry.

The flower stands against a subtly textured neutral background woven in pale greys and off-whites, creating a calm backdrop that enhances the vividness of the red and green. A fine yellow border runs along the edges, giving the tapestry a touch of warmth and framing the design with understated precision.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

The Hidden Cove
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very atmospheric and expressive costal composition, painted onto canvas by British artist Nicky Knill Jones.

The painting captures a serene and intimate stretch of coastline, where a rugged cliff descends into a secluded bay. The composition leads the viewer’s eye from the grassy, windswept foreground down to the white surf curling against the rocks, and out across the vivid turquoise sea.

The brushwork is loose and expressive, giving movement to the sea and texture to the land. Shades of teal, sea green, and cobalt blue dominate the palette, evoking freshness and clarity, while subtle earthy tones add contrast and depth to the coastal terrain.

The painting evokes a sense of discovery and peaceful isolation, as though stumbling upon a quiet, unspoiled corner of nature. It’s a contemplative, windswept scene that invites viewers to pause and take in the rhythm of the sea.

This painting is beautifully presented in a white tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Quiet Expanse
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very atmospheric contemporary abstract composition, painted onto canvas by British artist Nicky Knill Jones.

The painting captures the serene, meditative quality of a wide, open coastal scene. Soft brushstrokes and a muted palette of pale blues, greys, and sandy beiges evoke the stillness of a tidal flat or beach at low tide, where sea and sky blend almost imperceptibly on the horizon.

The composition is horizontal and spacious, with distant, darkened headlands framing the scene and guiding the viewer’s eye gently toward the center. The foreground is rendered in translucent layers, suggesting wet sand and shallow pools reflecting the soft light above. There is a sense of vastness and calm, where time seems suspended.

Overall, the painting conveys peaceful solitude and the quiet grandeur of nature, using minimal detail and harmonious tones to evoke a deeply contemplative atmosphere.

This painting is beautifully presented in a white tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Green Pears on Table
£750
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and characterful still life composition executed in tempera on board in 1979, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The painting presents a neat arrangement of five bright green pears – four whole and one sliced open to reveal its pale, almost translucent interior. The fruits are evenly spaced across a deep brown tabletop, their rounded forms casting bold, graphic shadows that anchor them to the surface. Scattered leaves add a touch of organic movement, their linear veins painted in stylised strokes.

The palette is wonderfully restrained yet vivid: fresh greens for the pears, muted earthy browns in the background, and stark black accents used for shadow and seed detail. The brushwork is clean and deliberate, with flat planes of colour and minimal blending, giving the piece a graphic, almost poster-like quality. Each pear is painted with a confident simplicity, allowing form and silhouette to take precedence over realism.

This still life celebrates simplicity and bold shape, making it a striking decorative piece with strong visual character.

This painting on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks and paint loss as shown.
