A charming and wonderfully textured still life featuring a flower vase and jugs.
The objects are placed on a vibrant blue surface, and are set against a beautifully painted backdrop that picks up the colours of the flowers and the ornaments around it.
Areas of thick impasto and the blending of contrasting colour imbue this painting with a distinct tactility and earthiness.
This oil on panel is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a robust wooden frame that has a unique light silver coating at the front. The frame has some marks and discolouration commensurate for its age, but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

An energetic oil on board depicting a richly textured landscape scene, with birds soaring freely in the open sky above lush green fields of trees.

A strong exploration of colours is also evident in this work as we see a play on the various shades that harmonise well together, giving rise to the various forms.

A night scene of a figure walking through a courtyard, painted in rich saturated colour. In the centre of the painting we see a brightly lit street lamp, which seems to illuminate the rest of the picture. The street and houses, painted in contrasting colour, are set against the blue night sky. The lone walking figure sets the mood of the painting beautifully.
The painting reminds me of this poem by the poet Shalom Freedman:
I am a quiet old man walking on a quiet night
All is calm
Light in my soul
And outside
The breeze fresh and cool
Soothes my mind-
I am a quiet man
who has had much good in his life
Walking home
On a calm night
When all is quiet
And Peace in my soul
The painting is housed in a dark grey frame with a linen slip. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A delightful and energetic Scanian landscape painting, dated 1971.
The warm and rich plethora of colours as well as textured and short brushstrokes used imbue the painting with liveliness and vitality; and as we scan our eyes across the painting from left to right, our eyes are treated to a feast with lots of detailing to take in and enjoy.
It is a warm summer day with clouds floating in the clear blue sky, and ducks soaring in the air.
A farmer in a tractor is depicted ploughing the fields, preparing the soil for seeding. We can also spot a cottage surrounded by trees and different well-grown agricultural crops. In the background, there is a row of trees lined up across the hills beyond.
The painting is housed in a complementary brown frame. It comes in good vintage condition, but there are 2 pin holes visible on the left side of the painting.

A scenic view of a cottage in the meadow, surrounded by tracts of grassland and hay fields.
The joy and serenity of nature is widely celebrated in this artwork; and its lush landscape is so inviting, as one yearns to roam in the vastness of its glory, to connect with nature and reconnect with themselves.
The artist has chosen to work primarily with 3 colours – green, brown and blue. Although it may seem limited, multiple shades from each colour have been used to bring the forms in this work to life. For example, we can spot lovely shades of pear green, pickle green, and seaweed green.
What is equally interesting is that for each shade, there is a similar directional use of brushstrokes – making this landscape painting so unique.
This artwork painted in 1945 is an oil on canvas, and is well presented in a brown wood frame, with a white mount that further accentuates its beauty.
It is in excellent vintage condition.

This large abstracted depiction of the female figure may seem simple at first glance, but as we spend the time to look at its forms, lines and colours, we soon realise its complexity. In some ways a reminder of the Nude Blue cut-outs series by Henri Matisse, the nude figure in this painting has been abstracted down to a group of shapes and colours. The artist has avoided any attempt to mimic reality and has instead used blocks of soft yet contrasting colours to create a sense of space and three dimensionality. Paint has been applied lightly and sparsely, allowing the raw canvas to show through.
Painted by in 1968, this wonderful oil is housed in a red and gilt wood frame with a linen slip, and is in excellent condition with some minor scuffs to the frame.

A typically modernist style oil on board painted in 1956. Geometric shapes, formal lines and rigid angles of the buildings and trees contrast with the softer, rounded lines of the pair of figure silhouettes in the forefront. Compositional depth has been achieved through the contrast and layering of flat planes of colour, rather than through the use of perspective. This cubist landscape is reminiscent of modernist painters such as Picasso and Braque.

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.

Housed in a dark wood frame with inner gilt detail, it is in excellent vintage condition.
