Violin & Flowers
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and atmospheric mid-century still life depicting a beautifully balanced arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

A richly toned violin lies gently across a tabletop, its warm reddish-brown body catching the light with a subtle sheen. Behind it, a patterned ceramic vase holds three full white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals captured with beautifully textured, expressive brushwork. The surrounding interior, rendered in soft muted tones, provides a calm and understated backdrop that allows the objects to take centre stage.

The painting is executed in a refined realist-impressionist style, marked by a balance of clarity and softness. The earthy greens, warm browns, and creamy whites create a soothing, cohesive palette, while the contrast between the polished surface of the violin and the delicate, layered petals of the chrysanthemums adds visual richness. The brushstrokes shift thoughtfully throughout: crisp and tactile in the flowers, smooth and controlled along the violin, and gently blended in the background – giving the work depth and atmosphere without drawing attention away from the central arrangement.

This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometry in Grey
£540
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mesmerising mid-century geometric abstract painting composed of layered angular forms that appear to float and overlap within a carefully balanced composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artist explores spatial tension through a series of intersecting planes – rectangles, trapezoids, and irregular polygons – that shift in opacity and tone, creating a rhythmic sense of movement and depth.

Rendered in a restrained monochromatic palette of cool greys, whites, and deep charcoal, the work exudes a quiet architectural precision. The translucent layering of shapes introduces a sense of transparency and lightness, while the hard-edged forms retain a strong graphic clarity.

The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with even application of paint that emphasises the structural purity of the design rather than gestural expression. The artist’s refined control of tone and balance reflects the mid-century fascination with form, proportion, and visual harmony.

This oil on canvas comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It is on stretched canvas so is ready to hang but if you would like us to help you with framing, you can contact us here.

By the Blue Horizon
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and minimalist mid-century coastal landscape capturing the stillness of a solitary figure by the sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is anchored by vast horizontal bands of sand, sea, and sky – the painter reducing the scene to its essential forms and tonal contrasts. A woman in a red sunhat and blue swimsuit sits under a teal umbrella, her figure small against the expansiveness of the beach and ocean, evoking both solitude and quiet contemplation.

Rendered in a simplified modernist style, the artist has employed broad, smooth brushstrokes and a restrained palette – warm beige and brown tones for the sand, deep cobalt for the sea, and a luminous cerulean for the sky. The brushwork softens toward the horizon, creating a gentle gradient that enhances the feeling of distance and calm.

The painting’s simplicity and geometric balance are characteristic of mid-century coastal modernism, where atmosphere and mood take precedence over detail.

This oil on canvas is presented in a well-suited wood frame with a linen-lined border the complements the painting’s coastal tones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Lily of the Valley with Pears
£905
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

This beautifully composed painting centres around a striking turquoise vase filled with lily-of-the-valley, their delicate white bells rising in elegant contrast against a backdrop of bold modernist colour blocks. Arranged on a vivid red tabletop, four stylised green pears add balance and rhythm.

The interior behind the arrangement is rendered through geometric planes of earthy brown, charcoal, plum, and cerulean blue, evoking walls, textiles, and an arched doorway while maintaining a flattened, abstract sensibility.

Executed in tempera, the work exhibits smooth, matte surfaces with crisp, clean edges. The artist embraces a distinctly modernist, slightly naïve style: simplifying forms, minimising perspective, and emphasising bold, graphic colour fields. The brushwork is controlled and even, lending a refined clarity to each element within the composition.

This tempera on board is presented in an ornate, richly detailed gilt frame that elevates the work with a sense of classical elegance. The artwork is further enhanced by a deep burgundy velvet mount, which provides a luxurious contrast and subtly intensifies the colours within the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has tiny areas of wear the corners, consistent with age.

Patterns of a Summer Afternoon
£815
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and playful abstracted mid-century still life that transforms everyday objects into rhythmic shapes and patterns, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

At the heart of the composition appears a wide-brimmed box beside a compact dish, set against a fragmented tabletop filled with textiles and geometric designs. The artist plays with perspective, flattening and tilting planes to create a patchwork of dynamic, interlocking forms that pulse with colour and texture.

The painting exemplifies the modernist fascination with form and balance: where representation gives way to feeling. Its visual language recalls both cubist structure and the spontaneity of mid-century Scandinavian abstraction, with domestic motifs rendered through bold simplification.

A harmonious palette of yellows, teal, olive green, dusty pink, and cream is punctuated by rhythmic strokes of red and blue. The brushwork is confident yet playful: thick, directional strokes build texture and depth, while smoother planes of pastel create moments of calm. The artist’s handling of paint is distinctly expressive, leaving visible brush trails that add vibrancy and movement across the canvas.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has light scuffing to the lower half but is otherwise in good condition.

Still Life with Sardines
£535
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century still life painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1961.

This composition brings together a humble yet vibrant assortment of fresh sardines, prawns, and sliced onions arranged across a softly rumpled cloth. The artist has captured the immediacy of a kitchen table moment: the silvery shimmer of fish, the warm glow of onions, and the deep coral tones of prawns – rendered with expressive confidence.

The work sits firmly within the mid-century modernist tradition. It blends realism with painterly abstraction, allowing objects to remain recognisable while being interpreted through bold, gestural forms.

A muted, earthy palette dominates the scene: soft greys, warm taupes, and sandy neutrals form the backdrop. These subtle tones are punctuated by sharper highlights: the metallic blues and whites of the fish, the pale yellows and greens of the onions, and the rich vermillion hues of the prawns. Together, they create a balanced and atmospheric harmony

Broad, confident strokes shape the background and cloth, giving it a textured, almost sculptural feel. The food items themselves are rendered with more deliberate yet still loose brushwork – quick flicks and decisive marks bring out the glistening skin of the sardines and the curved forms of the prawns. The overall surface has an energetic, spontaneous quality that enhances the painting’s rustic charm and authenticity.

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

View Across the Lake
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and contemplative modernist style painting that captures the tranquil beauty of a lake as seen through an open window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1988.

The composition draws the viewer’s gaze outward – from the soft shadows of the window frame to the vivid expanse of blue water and rolling green hills beyond.

Executed in a modernist style, the artist has simplified the forms into broad, confident planes of colour, creating a rhythmic interplay between interior and exterior light. The palette is dominated by cool tones of azure, teal, and pale green, balanced by creamy whites and muted beiges that evoke the warmth of sunlit stone.

The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, laid down in short, directional strokes that convey texture and the quiet movement of light and air. This technique lends the work both structure and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary light wooden frame with a soft, natural finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Branches in a Blue Vase
£895
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking and expressive mid-century still life, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

The painting depicts a cluster of slender and elegant branches with fresh green leaves arranged in a patterned blue vase, placed against a softly muted background. The composition is both simple and dynamic: balanced by a small yellow form in the lower right, perhaps a lemon, which introduces a bold contrast of colour and geometry.

Rendered in thick, confident brushstrokes, the artist’s impasto technique gives the surface a rich texture, while the interplay between earthy browns, cool blues, and mossy greens evokes an organic harmony. The background, layered in sage, light yellow and beige tones, creates a sense of depth without overt detail, allowing the arrangement to stand as a sculptural focal point.

The overall style reflects the sensibilities of mid-century modernism: abstracted yet rooted in observation – where everyday objects are distilled to their essence through shape, tone, and texture.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones and an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Jug & Lemon
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant mid-century modernist style still life that captures a quiet domestic arrangement, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

A dark brown earthenware jug, a rectangular glass bottle, and a single lemon rest on a ledge before a softly illuminated wall. The artist has used the interplay of light and shadow to create a sense of architectural stillness and geometric harmony.

Rendered in a modernist style, the composition balances simplicity and structure. The jug’s bold, rounded form contrasts with the angular silhouette of the bottle behind it, while the lemon introduces a small but vivid burst of colour and organic softness.

Muted tones of brown, grey, cream, and pale yellow dominate the palette, creating a subdued atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate yet textured: visible strokes define planes of light and shade, giving the objects a sculptural quality.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some marks at its bottom left side. The frame shows minor wear and has a nick to its left border, as shown.

Lemon & Fish
£605
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking and brilliantly executed mid-century still life rendered in a bold, semi-abstract style, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition depicts a fish laid across a platter beside a lemon, glass, and bowl: objects arranged within a geometrically fragmented space. The artist has simplified form into planes of colour and texture, transforming everyday objects into rhythmic patterns of line and contrast.

The palette combines muted greys, whites, and earthy browns punctuated by deep blues, black, and sharp accents of red and green. The juxtaposition of the lemon’s acid hue and the fish’s reddish tones creates a visual tension that energises the otherwise subdued background.

The brushwork is layered yet controlled, with areas of smooth paint application set against textured, block-like sections. The interplay of flatness and depth, together with the abstracted cubist influences, lends the work a distinctly modern sensibility: a refined balance between structure and spontaneity that captures the quiet drama of the still life genre.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame with an inner white border. There is some scattered craquelure and paint loss on the glass cup but this does not detract from the overall appearance and the painting is otherwise in good condition overall.

Sunlit Village
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A tranquil mid-century townscape that captures a quiet hillside settlement basking in the stillness of the afternoon sun, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The composition is defined by a rhythmic arrangement of geometric buildings, their flat roofs and muted facades rendered in blocks of brown, sienna, and cream. Behind them, deep green hills rise gently against a cool light turquoise sky, grounding the otherwise minimal architectural forms in a serene landscape.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and thickly applied oil paint to reduce the scene to its essential planes of colour and light. Shadows are simplified into dark, earthy tones, while sunlit walls glow with pale yellows and greens. The absence of figures and fine detail lends the painting a contemplative, timeless quality: an exploration of harmony between manmade structure and the natural world.

The colour palette is warm yet subdued. The brushwork is deliberate and textural, creating a tactile surface that enhances the architectural solidity of the forms while preserving a painterly spontaneity. The restrained use of perspective and tone evokes the balanced calm characteristic of mid-century European modernist painting.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a inner gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows minor signs of age wear though these do not detract from its overall presentation.

Cottage Beyond the Trees
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century modernist style landscape capturing the quiet charm of a countryside, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition draws the eye along a soft earthen path leading toward a red wooden cottage nestled among tall, slender trees. In the foreground, a small wooden boat rests on the grassy ground, evoking stillness and rural simplicity.

Rendered in a modernist, pared-down style, the artist has used flat planes of colour and minimal detailing to suggest light and form rather than delineate them. Pale yellows, warm browns, soft greens, and muted blues create a harmonious palette that beautifully conveys the cool, crisp air of early spring or late autumn.

The brushstrokes are broad and textured, laid down with deliberate restraint: giving the scene a tactile, almost blocky rhythm that reflects the influence of Scandinavian modernism.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with subtle reddish-brown tone and an inner gilt lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Fields in Late Summer
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and wonderfully textured modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1972.

The painting captures the quiet rhythm of open landscape beneath a soft, pale sky. The composition unfolds in broad, horizontal sweeps of cultivated land – patches of green and yellow fields stretch toward the horizon, gently intersected by blue-tinged furrows and tree lines.

Painted with a confident impasto technique, the artist has applied thick, expressive strokes that build texture and movement across the canvas. Each ridge of paint conveys the tactile feel of the earth and the shifting play of light on uneven terrain. The palette is harmonious and naturalistic: grassy greens, golden yellows, and cool hints of blue balance against a delicate, misty sky.

The work’s modernist sensibility lies in its simplification of form and emphasis on gesture over detail. Rather than depicting a literal place, it evokes the essence of cultivated fields under summer light: quiet, spacious, and timeless.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight scuffing commensurate with age.

Lemon & Literature
£480
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and expressive mid-century still life that captures a vibrant table scene where fruit, bottles, and books converge in a symphony of colour and texture, executed in oil onto board.

A blue tablecloth stretches across the foreground, holding a scattering of apples, oranges, and a lemon alongside two dark bottles and a pair of books rendered in bold red and black. The scene glows against a luminous yellow backdrop, infusing the composition with a sense of warmth and vitality.

The artist’s palette is bold and confident: sunny yellows, blues, deep blacks, and accents of warm orange and crimson create a dynamic interplay that brings life to the static composition. The brushwork is expressive and heavily impastoed, with thick, deliberate strokes that lend a tactile energy to the painting. The use of contrasting colours and broad application of paint give the piece a sense of rhythm and immediacy characteristic of mid-century modernist expression.

The painting balances structure and spontaneity beautifully – each object is simplified yet full of presence, and the scene hums with quiet intensity. A wonderful example of post-war European still-life painting, celebrating the everyday through bold colour and painterly confidence.

Neighbourhood at Dusk
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century landscape painting that presents a quiet neighbourhood scene, where houses and rooftops cluster beneath a line of slender trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition conveys both shelter and openness, with architectural forms emerging softly through the vertical rhythm of trunks and branches.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting simplifies the built environment into blocks of muted tones while a red structure provides a vibrant focal point among the cooler palette. Above, a pale blue sky stretches across the canvas, evoking a crisp, clear atmosphere.

The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, layered to suggest the shifting interplay of light and shadow. Instead of precise detailing, the artist captures the essence of place: the harmony of trees, rooftops, and streets blending together in a cohesive whole.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profiled gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

View Over the Valley
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and expressive mid-century landscape that captures the rhythmic undulation of the countryside, painted in oil onto canvas board.

The composition presents golden fields that meet a glistening blue river that winds through lush green pastures. Two modest cottages rest on a sunlit slope to the left, their earthy tones anchoring the composition amidst the sweeping expanse of colour.

Painted in a loose, confident hand, the artist has employed bold brushstrokes and gestural layering to evoke the vitality of nature rather than a literal depiction. The palette is rich yet harmonious: yellows, greens, blues, and touches of pink convey the shifting light of a late afternoon sky.

The painting balances movement and structure beautifully, with the angular geometry of the hills and houses, while the spontaneous and energetic brushwork lend it a tactile, almost musical energy.

Constructed Still Life
£945
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century still life rendered through bold geometry and a masterful play of colour planes, executed in oil onto canvas.

On a faceted tabletop sit a tall red jug, a teal bottle, and two fruits: one rosy red, the other golden yellow – arranged in balanced asymmetry. The artist has abstracted the everyday into angular forms, each shape carved by light and shadow into sculptural precision.

Executed in a Cubist-inspired style, the composition uses intersecting planes and overlapping hues to suggest depth and rhythm. Deep blues and purples form the backdrop, while cool aquas, brick reds, and lemon yellows provide sharp, luminous contrast. The brushwork is confident and flat, with clean edges and opaque layers that emphasise structure over texture, giving the work a strong architectural presence.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a linen-lined inner border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks, but this does not detract from its overall presentation.

Still Life with Cat Figurine
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modernist style interior still life painting rendered in soft, abstracted geometry, and executed in oil onto board.

The composition features a tabletop arrangement with a flower in a vase, a covered bowl, a few bottles, and a pale blue cat figurine that adds a whimsical note to the scene. The artist has captured a quiet moment of domestic life through simplification and balance – transforming everyday objects into forms of colour and shape.

The palette is harmonious and cool-toned, dominated by shades of blue, teal, and brown, offset by the warmth of brown and a single crimson bloom. These muted yet carefully balanced hues create a sense of a calm interior.

Painted in a distinctly modernist idiom, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and flattened planes, giving the work tonal depth. The brushwork is visible and deliberate, lending vibrancy to the otherwise tranquil composition.

Sunlight & Table
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle and poetic mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet radiance, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene centres on a teal table, upon which rests a small earthen pot of pink flowers, bathed in a cascade of soft morning light filtering through tall windows. The painter transforms a humble domestic corner into a study of atmosphere: where form dissolves into light and shadow.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the artist has used delicate, feathery brushstrokes and thin layers of paint to build an airy, almost translucent composition. Muted mauves, lilacs, pale yellows, and soft greys create a dreamlike haze, while the turquoise of the table provides a striking counterpoint of solidity within the diffused glow. The brushwork is confident yet restrained – the marks suggesting more than defining, allowing the viewer’s imagination to fill in the forms.

The overall effect is one of serenity and light: a meditation on stillness and the subtle poetry of the everyday interior.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a rich and warm oak tone, and with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Sunlit Balcony
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and joyfully expressive mid-century painting that captures the view from a sunlit balcony overlooking a blue sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, terracotta pots overflowing with pink flowers rest upon a richly hued red-orange floor, while a delicately curved white wrought-iron chair invites the viewer to sit and take in the scene. Beyond the golden railing, a cluster of white sailboats glides gracefully across the deep indigo waters, with the warmth of a distant shoreline and a serene sky above completing this idyllic Mediterranean vista.

Painted in a bold, modernist style, the work features lively, gestural brushstrokes that build texture and movement throughout the composition. The artist’s palette brims with complementary contrasts – vivid reds and oranges against cooling blues and greens – evoking both warmth and breeze. The loose, painterly handling create a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, lending the piece a distinctly Fauvist energy and charm.

A delightful and uplifting coastal scene that radiates summer light and the carefree spirit of mid-century modern painting.

Blush Horizon (Set of 2)
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant pair of minimalist landscapes, dated 1985, that captures the serene beauty of open land under a soft rose-tinted sky, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The two compositions are designed to complement each other: one showing a gentle line of birch trees standing in rhythmic formation, the other depicting a quiet rise with a few slender trunks and a simple wire fence stretching across the horizon.

The artist has used a restrained modernist palette of blush pink, misty grey, and muted greens, allowing atmosphere and tone to take centre stage. The brushwork is delicate and deliberate – light dabs and soft stippling define the foliage, while smooth gradients create a sense of still air and fading distance.

Together, the pair evokes a dreamlike calm: a moment of dusk or dawn frozen in time, and would bring a refined sense of balance and tranquillity to any space.

These oil on canvases are housed in complementary silver and black frames. There are some light marks near the tops and bottoms of each work, consistent with age and display. The frames have some light wear and scuffing, though this does little to detract from the overall elegance of the pair.

Chair by the Archway
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Greyhound with Yellow Collar
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and very endearing canine composition of a greyhound, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The sleek brown dog is depicted reclining elegantly on a flat green field, its elongated body and arched back capturing the breed’s natural poise and elegance. A bright yellow collar adds a touch of vibrancy, standing out against the dog’s smooth, earthy coat.

The background is simple and restrained: a pale grey sky with soft, stylized clouds and a few rounded green shrubs, which frame the composition without distracting from the central subject. The muted, balanced colour palette keeps the focus on the dog’s refined form.

This oil on board is housed in a wide profile dark wood frame. 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.

The artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes, giving the painting a dynamic, textured quality. The foliage appears sculpted through impasto techniques, while the simplified geometric forms of the buildings lend a sense of structure amidst the organic movement of the landscape.

Memory of a Landscape
£560
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bold and abstract mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board.

This painting is composed of large, solid blocks of colour and thick, expressive brushstrokes. While not realistic, it suggests a natural scene, perhaps a sunset or sunrise over hills or a valley.

The upper half of the canvas is dominated by a clear, bright blue that could represent the sky. There is a large red circle positioned in the top right quadrant – this striking element resembles the sun or moon, radiating a powerful visual presence, anchoring the composition. Below the red circle is a sweeping shape in green, possibly representing a grassy hill or field, surrounded by brown, beige, and ochre, evoking earth or terrain.

There are small red marks scattered to the green and brown area, which add interest and detail and encourage you to look deeper at the painting, drawing you in.

Despite its boldness, the horizontal layering and balanced composition give a sense of calm and order. This is the kind of painting that invites multiple interpretations—sunset over a landscape, a memory, or even an abstract metaphor for time and place.

This oil on board is presented in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Daylilies in Sunlight
£695
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bright and serene mid-century still life that captures a cluster of orange daylilies basking in sunlight, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

The artist captures a fleeting, luminous moment with sunlight filtering through leaves and petals, transforming the everyday sight of blooming daylilies into something almost transcendent. There’s a sense of calm vitality here: the blooms, rendered in warm tones of orange and gold with touches of coral and crimson, rise dynamically from the cool greens of their leaves, their upward gesture bringing movement and energy to the composition.

Rendered with thick, expressive brushstrokes, the work feels both spontaneous and deeply considered. It invites the viewer not only to look but to feel the warmth of the sun and the peaceful rhythm of a day slowly unfolding.

Jars & Blue Plate
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century still life captures a quiet, everyday arrangement of two earthenware jars, a cobalt-blue plate, and a few scattered lemons upon a sunlit tabletop, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artist’s confident use of impasto brushwork brings the scene to life – thick, textural strokes of paint that reveal the artist’s hand in every movement.

The palette is warm and expressive, balancing earthy yellows, terracottas, and muted greens with the striking contrast of the luminous blue plate that commands the centre of the composition. The interplay of these tones gives the piece both harmony and energy, while the textured surface adds a tactile, sculptural quality.

Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the forms are simplified and the focus is placed on colour relationships and surface texture rather than precise realism. The work evokes the quiet beauty of domestic life, elevated through a painter’s expressive eye.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple light wooden frame that complements its rustic aesthetic. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Shared Moments
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully atmospheric mid-century modernist oil painting depicting two figures in a quiet interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

One is seated at a table, leaning gently forward, while the other stands nearby, their forms simplified and softened, inviting the viewer into an intimate moment. Light floods in from a large window in the background, casting a pale blue glow that contrasts against the deeper, earthy tones of the room.

Rendered with expressive brushwork and impasto, the artist has used broad, confident strokes to build form and texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The muted greys, dusky mauves, and slate blues are gently warmed by accents of ochre and terracotta in the standing figure’s clothing, adding a subtle focal point to the composition.

The scene carries a sense of stillness and familiarity – a fleeting domestic moment captured through abstraction, where emotion is conveyed not through facial detail but through posture, colour harmony, and the soft diffusion of light.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary mid-century style frame with a softly textured, linen lined surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Three Pears & A Cup
£430
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quiet and contemplative still life that depicts a simple tabletop arrangement of three green pears and a small blue-grey cup, set against a softly textured background, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2008.

The composition is minimalist, yet imbued with a gentle rhythm and balance: the curved organic forms of the pears play harmoniously against the cylindrical solidity of the vessel.

Rendered in a modern impressionist style, the artist employs loose, visible brushstrokes and layered applications of paint, creating a tactile surface that evokes both depth and light. The palette is composed of delicate shades of green, lemon, sky blue, and muted grey, conveying a serene and contemplative mood. The soft blending and impasto technique suggest a sensitivity to form and colour rather than strict realism, giving the work a quiet poetic presence.

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

Fragments of a Day
£805
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking modernist work that presents a scene fragmented into angular planes and interlocking blocks of colour, evoking figures and structures emerging within an imagined landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

Though abstracted, one can sense the suggestion of human presence and architectural forms – perhaps a house, a figure, and surrounding terrain reduced to their essential geometric components.

Rendered in a modernist style, the composition is built from flat, faceted shapes that tessellate across the canvas, creating a rhythmic mosaic. The artist has employed a harmonious yet lively palette of muted peach, terracotta, sage green, browns, dusty pink, teal, and pale blues. These tones shift softly across the surface, creating subtle contrasts and spatial tension without harsh division.

The brushstrokes are controlled yet visible, giving texture to each block of colour while maintaining an overall crispness in form. Edges are softly defined, hinting at the hand of the painter beneath the structure of the geometry. The result is a composition that feels both architectural and lyrical – an exploration of form and colour that balances abstraction with a whisper of narrative.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary simple wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition
