The woman’s gaze is turned away from the us, and she seems to be deep in thought. There is a soft glow particularly to the background, alluding to candlelight.
This classic, timeless oil features soft and painterly brushstrokes that have been thoughtfully executed. The artist has used a muted earthy colour palette that reflects the calm, tender mood of the setting.
This oil on canvas is is housed in a wide profile black frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

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.
The artwork has been executed in such an invigorating and confident manner – with urgent, bold and distinct brushstrokes sweeping across the canvas to give rise to the various forms. The artist has also selected a lively colour palette, with varying shades of green and purple that harmonise and overlap so well together.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary pale yellow textured frame that adds to its character. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very striking still life in oil, painted in 1975.

A tranquil and well executed mid century oil painting, rendered in an abstract and geometric style.
The artist has skilfully abstracted a hilly landscape scene down to geometric forms and angular shapes.
The work has a thoroughly calming effect that arises from the smooth brushstrokes as well as the restrained colour palette of neutral pastel tones.
This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame with a gilt border that illuminates the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

A lovely mid century oil painting depicting 2 figures, seemingly in conversation, in a quiet neighbourhood.
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

An outstanding mid-century modernist style painting of a street scene in a quiet neighbourhood, executed in oil.
The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents of the use of a palette knife not only in the application of paint, but in mixing colours as well.
Through the selection of naturalistic colours, as well as the use of a palette knife in a swift and sweeping motion, areas of smooth creamy paint fill the canvas, adding a lovely three-dimensional texture to the painted surface and also capturing the raw feel of the worn and weathered building surfaces.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary distressed silver frame. It has some minor scuffs but this is typical for a frame of this age and adds to the charm of the ‘distressed’ style of it.

A skilfully executed mid century Swedish still life painted in oil on to board. The artist has used a rich, earthy palette to create this still life composition, and has included areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud from the surface) which create texture. There is an element of mystery to this picture, as not all the objects are discernible. The artist has used bold, distinct lines to create these shapes and forms and has focused on these formal elements as opposed to trying to paint a realistic still life picture.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which is very unique. It has an off white, ridged outer border, followed by a grey fabric lined window and then a silver inner window. The silver window has some minor scuffing typical for a painting of this age. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

A stunning winter landscape painted in subtle and mellow tones of brown, grey, and white, punctuated by two figures in the foreground. A simple yet captivating composition, made possible by the almost monochrome colour palette.
The figure on the left carries a pile of log in his arms, presumably retrieved from the shed he is walking out of, and a second figure next to him with her backs to us is about to do the same. They brave the stark, bitter cold (aptly conveyed by the colour palette that the artist has used) but we know they are soon to return home to a warm fire.
The panting is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner silver window that illuminates the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A bold and expressive abstract expressionist Swedish oil on canvas, painted in 1962. A rich range of earthy colours have been applied to the canvas in an expressive, painterly manner – a reflection of the artist’s confidence with the medium of oil. The dynamic brushwork imbue the painting with a distinct energy, rhythm and and movement. Although largely abstract, the painting could be interpreted to be an allusion to volatile skies before a storm.
The painting is housed in a robust mid century wood frame with an inner black and cream border, which suits the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A gorgeous impressionist oil painting depicting a lady in a hat seated out in a garden, reminiscent of the style of the French painter Auguste Renoir. This artwork has a sense of the romantic, and in its colour palette and brush work there is a soft-focus evocation of a halcyon day. The artist has used the same comma-like brushwork pattern for both sitter and background, creating a rather romantic effect where the dappled sunlight on the leaves of the trees has cast a similar light on the sitter’s body and chair, so she beautifully blends into her surroundings.
It is housed in a very unique frame. Within the outer gilt frame there is a grey slip which has speckles of coloured paint lightly applied to it. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A delightful mid 20th century still life executed in oil on canvas, featuring an array of objects including a bowl of onions, a green jug and 2 planters atop a wooden table.
Through the use of textured and painterly brushstrokes, the painting has a great tactility.
The artist has confidently worked with a restrained colour palette comprising shades of browns, greens and blue that imbue the work with a lively feel. A great deal of attention has been paid in capturing the shadows and light reflections on the objects, creating a strong sense of three dimensionality in the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary robust gilt frame with dark brown tints. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs to the edges, as shown in photos, typical for a frame of this age.

A quaint, peaceful picture of winter trees, painted in oil onto board in 1936. The palette is subtle – earthy browns, mellow yellows and pastel pinks and blues make up a soft composition. This quiet picture would sit beautifully on a shelf, adding interest to any spot without being too intrusive.
This oil on board is in good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. The painting is housed in a deep silver frame with an outer green patina, which picks up on the palette of the painting and illuminates it. The frame has some marks and scuffs as seen in photos.

A subtle and soothing panoramic landscape, rendered in oil in 1964. Depicting vast open skies and rural land, the work has been executed in a semi-abstract manner with beautiful muted pastel colours.
Long, gentle and sweeping horizontal brushstrokes fill the canvas, enriching it as it overflows with softness and calm.
The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents by using contrasting planes of colours to demonstrate a sense of depth in the work.
This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame which complements it very well. There are small spots of surface discolouration to the right side of the painting (as seen in photos), but these are visible only upon close inspection and do not detract from the overall beauty of the piece. The frame has some minor scuffing but again this is typical for its age and if anything these imperfections add an overall charm to the piece.
