A picturesque and panoramic view of a rural landscape, complete with cows, mountains and a lake. A patchwork of green and golden fields rolls towards the pink and blue mountain. The cool palette with which the artist has painted the mountains communicates its solid physical hardness against the softer, warmer colours of the fields. The way in which the landscape has been formed, with its planes of colours, rich earthy palette and bold outlines is reminiscent of works by the modernist painter Cézanne.
The painting is housed in a robust and deep wood frame that has been painted with a beautiful green tint. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs to its edges, commensurate for its mid century age.

An effervescent and diaphanous oil depicting white flowers in a clay pot.
Areas of thick impasto create areas of texture and three dimensionality. In this very ‘open’ composition, there are no distinct forms – we cannot make out any specific detailing of the flowers and leaves. Freely brushed colours are used instead of lines and contours, portraying the overall visual effect of the floral arrangement, rather than realistic details. As our eyes move around the picture, we can also notice the fabric of the canvas showing through along the bottom section of the painting, adding to the general ethos of this as a painting rather than a realistic depiction of flowers.

An absolutely stunning oil depicting two figures walking through vast landscape. Scale here has been stretched to its utmost, with the human figures so small it is easy to miss them. The vast landscape is what fills most of this painting, reminding us humans of our position in the universe. We are but a speck. We feel a calming sense of awe when looking at this piece – its focus on nature emphasises its separateness and indifference to our humanly desires and concerns.
This mid century painting is appropriately housed in a wide off white wood frame with gilt detailing. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame is very stable and in good condition overall but has some minor bumps (refer to photos), but these do not detract from the painting.

A well-executed and detailed oil on canvas of a vase of beautiful red flowers placed by a window pane.
The artist gives us a glimpse of the cold winter’s day outside, as we see a snow-filled ground through the clear glass window.
Very soft and painterly brushstrokes have been used to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work; yet the artist has skilfully managed to evoke a strong sense of three-dimensionality – from the drapes of the curtains, to the roundness of the vase, and curves of the leaves that have all been splendidly painted.
This artwork is housed in a thin cherry wood frame that complements the piece really well.
There is a straight vertical tear the right side of the painting (refer to photos) that has been closed with tape on the reverse (refer to photo). Otherwise the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An endearing mid 20th century painting of an intimate and well-decorated home setting.
An elderly lady sits on a small bench preparing food, as she waits for the pot to heat up in the large fire stove beside her.
The plethora of colours used in this work is remarkable, as well as the intricate detailing of the objects lying around which include the flower pots by the window still, the white pitcher beyond the open door, as well as the pots and pans, and a colourful rug on the floor. The door that is ajar adds a sense of openness to this painting – we feel welcomed into the space, without feeling trapped or enclosed.
It comes with a unique dark wood frame with evenly spaced divots, outlining the painting beautifully.
The canvas appears to have been previously removed from a backing or stretchers and re-laid on to board, fixed down with staples. Puncture marks from the previous framing method are visible around the outer edges of the canvas, as shown. The painting itself is in excellent condition with no paint loss, and so is the frame that it is housed in.

A very large and vibrant oil painting on board with a wonderful array of details to notice. The painting almost ‘unfolds’ before us as we look at it, with lots of individual areas of detailing becoming apparent as we let our eyes wander across the picture. At first glance we notice the main scene taking place in the foreground, where a group of fishermen surround their catch of the day. Then we start to notice the other activities taking place, such as the woman spinning yarn on the right, as well as the features of the cityscape beyond. Then, almost as if to surprise us, little animals along the lower border soon reveal themselves to us – the rabbit, frog, dog with bird in mouth, and duck. Even as the picture recedes, the artist has taken great care to paint in all the details, including the cranes and factories in the far distance.
This wonderful painting with so much to offer measures 80.9 x 48.1cm. There are some areas of paint losses to the bottom of the painting but this would be easily covered by a frame.

A captivating and expressive mid 20th century oil painting presenting an everyday scene of a lively local town in Morocco.
The sky is beaming blue, and it is a scorching hot day, as the sun’s strong rays have illuminated the colourful line up of buildings and stalls, and the pathway.
A group of Moroccan men can be seen passing through. They are dressed in turbans and djillabas, which is a long outer robe and is one of the most popular forms of traditional Moroccan clothing. Donkeys, which are an integral part of Moroccan life, are featured in this painting, as a man is depicted riding on one as his main mode of transportation.
Moroccans are known for their warmth, openness and sociability, and this painting so wonderfully captures the essence of their nature- the rich and warm array of colours used in this painting is so vibrant and welcoming, and are harmonised extremely well together; and the expressionistic brushstrokes used imbue the painting with much vigor and liveliness.
This oil on canvas comes in a unique vintage grey wooden frame with a linen slip.

A very finely executed modernist painting of 4 farmers in an open agricultural field, harvesting lush crops of wheat.
The artist has confidently executed the work with bold and expressive brushstrokes, skilfully separating the sky, forest and field through different plains of earthy colours.
The painting is framed in a unique and characterful wood and gilt frame with an inner maroon velvet lining. The grain of the wood frame has purposefully been left exposed under the gilt coating, adding a wonderful effect.
Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A tranquil landscape scene of a lakeside, painted in 1955.
A figure has walked through the woods and is taking a moment to sit down by the edge of a lake. In front of him stretches an open lake – a peaceful, serene open view where he can be alone with his thoughts.
The swift yet soft brushstrokes in this oil wonderfully captures this tender moment, reminding us of the power of nature in helping us to heal and recharge.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with a linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This post impressionistic painting is a fine example of the way in which an artist can celebrate the material properties of the medium of oil. Urgent, rough and bold brushstrokes are accentuated by thick, short, colourful, blocky bursts that add a sense of youthful energy. Here the artist has banished preconceived notions about object and colour from his or her mind (such as grass being just green), and has instead painted the colour hues and tones as seen in that particular moment in the natural light.
The ruggedness of the landscape is almost mimicked by the way the artist has applied the paint, where you can almost see the bristles of the brush and the heavy-handedness in the application, giving the painting a visual palpability.
The strong colours and brushwork are complemented by the robust greyish-green mottled frame, within which the painting is housed. The painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition, with only very minor scuffing to the frame.

A beautiful and serene 20th century still life that displays a glimpse of a well-decorated home setting.
Jasmines are depicted in full bloom and growing out from a copper flower pot that has been placed at a corner of a living room. The artist has skillfully captured the reflection of this pot cast against the flooring, as well as the shadows of the flowers that have been cast on the wall
One is able to get a sense of the style of this home setting – as we see the light floral patterned curtains, and the colourful rug near it.
The artist has used fine and soft brushstrokes to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work; and the earthy colour palette gives a soothing feel.
The painting is surrounded by a dark wooden frame with an inner gold window which suits it perfectly.
It is in excellent vintage condition.

A stunning mid 20th century artwork of nature at its finest, painted in 1951. A pair of horses graze on grass amongst a vast open meadow.
The soft yet precise brushstrokes and bright pastel colours create an air of peacefulness and serenity. Overall, the blocks of colours and brushstrokes in this work flow impeccably – leading our eyes gently from foreground to the background where the open sea and blue sky lie beyond in the horizon.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. There is a small surface scratch on the top edge of the frame which is only noticeable when viewed up close. The paintings is well presented in a complementary silver frame.

One of the most elegant pieces in our collection yet, this beautiful oil depicts a collection of intricately painted objects on what is most likely a lady’s dresser. It is painted such that the viewer is herself sitting at this very table, just about to catch herself in the reflection of the mirror.
A lady’s dresser is more than just a place to beautify oneself – it is a private space where she can take a moment to pause, reflect and unwind. Her collection of precious sentimental objects lay neatly before her, reminders of bygone days.
The mirror in the painting captures the reflection of the objects on the table, but stops short at the point where we would see our own reflection – a seemingly simple yet rather effective angle chosen by the artist.
Painted by Britt Bräckis Rosén, the oil painting is housed in a tasteful thin rounded gold frame. It is in excellent vintage condition with only some very minor scuffing to the frame.

A beautiful and well-balanced still life that captured our hearts upon first sight.
Presented atop a table draped with a cloth is a well-decorated pitcher filled with red tulips and pussy willows, surrounded by 7 oranges and a small green bowl.
Very soft and precise brushstrokes have been used to create a delicate and realistic effect to the work, and there is calm fluency from one subject to the next.
The artist has wonderfully managed to capture the creases and folds in the table cloth, and the great play of colours and reflective shadowy effects in the oranges and flowers create a sense of three dimensionality in the work.
There is a strong focus of attention on the objects as its bold colours stand out in contrast to the background painted in beige with light pink undertones.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It comes well-presented in a thick gilt frame that has areas of paint loss.

An excellently executed 20th century landscape artwork depicting a house tucked behind a stone wall, partially hidden by lush greenery and set against a clear blue sky.
In this work, the artist has skillfully used blocks of colours in contrasting shades to give rise to the various forms as such the trees and stone wall; and the selection of more than 8 different hues of vibrant green imbues the work with so much freshness.
With the use of visible painterly brushstrokes, one is able to get a sense of the natural beauty and rough nature of the limestone wall; and through the use of expressive brushstrokes executed in a diagonal manner to paint the greenery, one can get a sense of movement and freedom in this work, of the strong wind blowing in the air, causing the leaves to sway.
The work comes well-presented in a thin champagne gold frame, and is in excellent vintage condition.

This captivating still life in oil depicting tulips in a vase features bold colours, strong outlines, and lots of texture. Thick, creamy layers of oil paint have been applied generously by the artist, giving this painting a real tactility. Painted on a long vertical canvas with a very well balanced composition, our eyes are led from top to bottom. At first glace we notice the 6 upright blooms, but then our eyes are drawn downwards toward the one wilting flower, its soft stem forming a curved line that contrasts with the straighter angles of the other tulips and their leaves. The horseshoe reflection on the vase lead us down to the single pear that sits on the table – the final punctuation in this wonderfully compositioned piece.
This original oil was painted in 1959. It is housed in a deep gilt frame with an inner moulding that is stained green and highlights the painting perfectly. There is a slight widening to the top right joint of the frame, but otherwise the painting and frame are in very good condition.

As the sun begins to set, a purple hue is cast over the city harbour. The sun’s soft glowing light welcomes the sailors home, after a long day out at sea. Lights from the windows along the harbour twinkle gently, as the boats glide over the calm waters towards their destination. Soft, gentle strokes in oil capture this serene twilight scene.
Housed in a dark wood frame with inner gilt detail, it is in excellent vintage condition.

A really striking and textured panoramic landscape in oil. The painting features areas of impasto (where the paint is thickly applied, creating a three dimensional effect) as well as sgraffito ( scratching through a surface to reveal a lower layer of a contrasting colour), creating a wonderful array of techniques and textures.
The oil has been painted on wood, which has then been fixed to a wood backing which is ready to hang. The painting is in good vintage condition, with some paint losses to the outermost corners that do not detract from the painting.

An outstanding and delicate gouache on paper, painted in 1940.
A young man is depicted standing on a bridge looking out to the calming view in front of him. He is back facing the viewer, and is caught up in his own world, watching the ships in the blue river sail past, with skyscrapers dominating the background.
There is softness overflowing through the brown undertones in the work, and the painting is imbued with a sense of wonder.
Artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The artwork is glazed (there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the painting).

A really gorgeous seascape featuring cerulean blue waters flanked by a pink cliff face. Several boats of different kinds sit on the water, forming a very visually pleasing composition and creating a sense of depth within the picture. A pastel and more mellow palette has been used for the boats, pier and cliff face, therefore drawing our initial attention and focus to the striking blue of the water. As we then allow our eyes to survey the rest of the picture, details on the boats and surrounding seascape then begin to reveal themselves.
The oil painting, (dated 1942) is housed in its original gilt and black frame, with an inner linen-lined slip. Both frame and paintings are in very good vintage condition.

A thoroughly well-executed mid 20th century painting dated 1954. The artwork depicts two elderly women sitting beside each other on a bench. There is an air of nostalgia, and they appear to be deep in conversation, reminiscing about their life experiences.
The artist has used a lovely neutral palette of grey, beige, green and blue that harmonises very well together. The use of very short and soft brushstrokes pair excellently with the subdued tones.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A restful depiction in oil of a young lady perched on a balcony edge, flanked by columns on either side. She has a book in her hand, but appears to be looking towards us. There is an air of peacefulness around her – the warm rays of the sun spread gently from behind, finding their way through the soft leaves of the trees behind, lighting up the pages of her book. A vase of pink flowers sit on the balcony on the other side, providing a sense of balance to the composition of this picture and add a wonderful pop of colour.
The painting is framed beautifully in a lilac frame, picking up on the colours of the columns.
Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

A delicate oil on canvas depicting an eagle soaring in the sky, gliding through wheat fields with such poise.
This composition is highly well-balanced, with the area of the sky and the land having equal visual weight.
Although this bird of prey possesses impressive strength, and is known as one of the most powerful birds on the planet, the artist has chosen to capture its soft side – as there is so much lightness and grace is this composition. The use of fine and smooth brushstrokes imbue the work with a feel of gentleness; and the warm pastel colour palette create feelings of earthiness and calmness.
The artwork comes with a light wood frame with a gilt inner window, which pairs extremely well with the painting, enhancing it further. Painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This stunning oil painted in an impressionist style is reminiscent of works by Monet and Auguste Renoir. In this charming and pleasurable scene of a lady with her parasol drifting down the river in a long boat, we see brushwork that is rapid and broken into separate dabs in order to render the fleeting quality of light.
The painting is housed in an ornately moulded vintage gilt frame, and is in excellent vintage condition.
