A really elegant still life painted in oil with a beautifully balanced composition and vivid colouring. The artist has used his or her palette skilfully, with the scarlet red fabric setting off the midnight blue bowl wonderfully and vice versa. The artist has managed to capture the reflectiveness of the blue bowl, while at the same time creating a rhythm within the painting through the use of objects of varying heights.
The painting is housed in a lovely gilt frame with an inner fabric lined border that suits the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A gentle and tranquil modernist style oil painting of a scenic coastal scape – presenting a row of huts laid in between the vast sea and a lush forest.
Rhythmic and multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas; and there is a seamless transition of light texture from the left of the canvas to a smooth surface to paint the sky and sea on the right.
A light and soft colour palette with a touch of muted pastel tones have been used, instilling a sense of calm in the work. There is an outstanding play of colours where the artist has skilfully used contrasting shades to create depth and width in this panoramic painting.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a linen lining that has some minor scuffing to the corners and age toning to the fabric but otherwise is in good and stable condition overall.

An atmospheric mid century oil of a street scene at night time, painted in oil onto board. The artist has beautifully captured the atmosphere of the night – the lights from the street and shophouses emit a soft glow, and a figure cycles down the lane towards us. A cathedral, though monumental in size, sits quietly under the midnight blue of the sky. The artist has painted in an expressionist style, using quick and distinct brushstrokes to paint in this richly coloured night time scene.
The painting is housed in its original mid century light wood frame which has a silver border, and an inner cream coloured slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a few minor scuffs along its silver edging.

A tranquil and panoramic lake scene, painted in oil onto board. Confident, expressive brushstrokes in rich colours have been applied to create this painting of a lake by a forest. The water lies still and calm, allowing the reflection of the trees to be cast beautifully on the waters, creating a symmetrical effect. The artist has used several layers of colour as well as areas of impasto (where the paint is thickly applied such that it stands proud from the surface) to create texture and depth.
The painting is housed in a simple white wooden frame, and is in very good vintage condition.

A vibrant and expressive mid century oil on board, painted in 1961. In the foreground the artist has used long thin strokes to depict a grassy landscape, which appears to have a lake. Beyond this, we see a row of houses and trees set under a light coloured sky. There is a wonderful dynamism to this painting, created through the use of energetic brushstrokes in bright, intense colours.

A skilfully executed mid century abstract painted in oil onto canvas. It features a combination of broad brushwork and fluid paint applied both thinly and thickly, creating differing textures and overlays. A soft palette of yellows, greys, blues and whites have been used, creating a calming composition of colours to rest our eyes on.
This mid century oil is reminiscent of the abstract expressionist works by the artist William de Kooning, whose painting style came to be known as ‘action panting’.
It is housed in its original mid century distressed gilt frame, which complements it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, and a small loss to the the upper right corner (as shown), but this is not obvious when looking at the painting front on.

A beautiful, picturesque mid century oil painting on canvas, painted in 1935. The artist has used thinned down oil in large sections, creating a lovely soft, hazy effect throughout the painting. On the forefront of the image in the lower section, he has painted with more texture, creating a palpable three dimensional effect, with the background fading into the distance. Earthy greens and browns combined with golden hues of yellow create this mellow, subtle composition that is such a pleasure to look at.
The painting is housed in a very complementary grey frame with greenish undertones, and a dark brown inner border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition, typical for its age.

A typically modernist mid century large abstract oil, painted onto board in 1960. The artist has created a completely abstract picture, playing with form, line, shape and colour. He has used a fairly restrained palette, working mostly in brown, black and white. This painting is very remiscnent of the works by British Modern St Ives artist Ben Nicholson, whose abstract drawings and paintings featured flat shapes and lines and an absence of ornament. Nicholson would also often use a razor blade to scrape back the paint so that the pictures look weather beaten and old, as if they have been eroded by time, much like the artist has done here in the white section of the painting, creating varied areas of both textured and flat surfaces.
The painting is housed in a simple but very well suited black slip. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A large and striking mid century still life, painted in oil in 1946. Rich saturated colours in deep tones fill the canvas, with pops of yellow, red and green that draw our attention in ever closer. There is a loose sense of time, with the shadows and darkened tones suggesting an evening light and the closing of the day. A couple of art catalogues sit casually next to a slender vase, beckoning us to take a seat and have a browse. A lone apple lays separately from its group, adding a bold lime green punctuation to the overall composition. Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist cleverly using colours and shapes to create depth and a sense of space. Bold lines, distinct and painterly brush marks, and juxtaposing colours make this painting a statement picture.
This oil is housed in its original mid century robust and heavy champagne gilt frame in a distressed style. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses to the inner slip and some general wear (as shown in the photos), but we think this adds to the overall charm of the piece.

A striking and well executed still life in oil, painted in 1969. The artist has used an intense palette of dark colours as well as bold, expressionist brushstrokes to create this striking still life composition. The darker palette imbues the painting with an almost melancholic vibe, in many way reminiscent of the sombre colours, flattened spaces and overall mood of the paintings of French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet, who was also painting around this time.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid century frame , with a gilt outer birder and an inner linen lined window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A stunning mid 20th century portrait of a well-attired woman dressed in green, peeling a basket of apples.

A tranquil and well executed mid century oil painting, rendered in an abstract and geometric style.

An interior scene painted in a muted and earthy palette, showing a shadowy interior with a group of figures painted in a modernist style. The artist has used the medium of tempera to paint this picture, which is the technique of painting with pigments bound in a water-soluble emulsion, such as water and egg yolk, or an oil-in-water emulsion such as oil and egg. Tempera dries to a hard, fairly translucent film, which in this case enables us to see the drawing beneath the painting, giving us a rare view of the artist’s workings.
The painting is very beautifully presented in a pine box frame, and is in good vintage condition. There are some minor surface paint losses to the right side but these do not detract from the overall charm of the picture.

A large and semi abstract mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1966.
We can be forgiven for not being able to see the subject pictured here as the artist has simplified the forms into flattened shapes so dramatically that the painting looks almost fully abstract at first glance. He has used large blocks of juxtaposing colour in a multi-directional, expressive style to create this lively composition. As our eyes begin to get accustomed to the view before us, a river bridge slowly begins to reveal itself. This transitional effect between abstraction and reality and vice versa makes this painting wonderfully interesting to look at, and encourages us to move between different viewing modes.
The painting is housed in a robust wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The painting has been executed in a semi-abstract manner through the use of visible and painterly multi-directional brushstrokes.
The artist has thoughtfully selected contrasting colour palettes – from light pastel shades in the foreground, to vibrant greens and blues in the background. This build up of colours balances the painting very well – instilling both a sense of calm as well as excitement.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a champagne coloured frame that has some slight scuffing, typical for its age.

A soulful abstract painted in oil onto canvas, featuring rich azure blues and a deep palette. Though largely abstract, we are able to discern elements of the natural landscape. The artist has used distinct and expressive brushstrokes, creating wonderful texture through the medium of oil. The painting has a very emotive effect, due to the colour palette used as well as the dynamism of the strokes. The artist has made a concerted effort to capture the spirit and essence of the landscape, as opposed to its realistic features.
The painting is housed in a very complementary silvery grey frame with a very unique inner velvet lining in blue which picks up on the palette of the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A beautiful expressionist oil of the landscape of Varengeville, a commune in the Normandy region in northern France. Featuring prominently in this composition is the small church of Saint-Valery, which sits by the side of the cliff along the Alabaster coast, under the early morning light. Interestingly, the churchyard holds the tomb of the Cubist artist Georges Braque, who was inspired and mesmerised by Varengeville and lived there for many years. In this painting, the artist has used a wonderful array of light and pastel colours to capture the landscape, creating a post impressionist feel.
The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame, which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both the painting and its frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some minor scuffing to the far corners of the frame.

A calm, earthy mid century rural landscape oil, painted on to board in 1947. The artist has used expressive, painterly brushtrokes in earthy and warm tones of green, brown, beige and blue to create this tranquil landscape. He has included areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to create depth and texture within the painting. The way he has used expressive strokes lends an abstract quality to this mid century oil.
The painting is housed in a cream coloured wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition with no major losses.

Painted in 1951, this gorgeous oil depicts the landscape of the fishing village of Reine in Lofoten, Norway. Lofoten is known for its breath-taking scenery, which has been captured by the artist in a very personal way. Rather than a realistic depiction of the Arctic ocean and its peaks, the artist has brought into focus the colourful fishing sheds that contrast wonderfully against the snowy landscape. There is a wonderful playfulness to the palette, composition and brushstrokes, and the way in which the artist has abstracted the scenery.
This large painting is housed in its original mid century distressed light grey frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses to its edges, as shown in the photos, which are typical for its age.

An outstanding and lively mid century cityscape by a Mediterranean coast, painted in oil in 1964.
Lush tall palm trees and colourful buildings fill the streets, and the sun shines its rays on this scorching hot day.
This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.
Blocks of contrasting bold colours that harmonise well together have been used to give rise to the various forms, and we can feel the strong energetic vibe of this town from the sweeping and confidently executed brushstrokes.
This oil on board has some light surface scratches (close ups are included in the photos above) but is in good condition overall. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a an inner gilt window
