  • A Fresh Morning

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size: 42.5 x 53 cm (including frame)

  • The Village

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    With its sandy desert tones and visually pleasing composition, this small painting has a wonderful mellowness to it.  This scene of one of the White Villages in Spain shows off the region’s old white lime walls and brown tiled roofs. In this region the climate is known to be mild, and the tones and hues used in this painting capture that mildness of this quiet village perfectly. To add interest, the artist has included a donkey cart and driver strolling casually along, about to make their way back into the village after a long day’s work.

    This wonderful piece in oil is by Swedish artist Hans-Erik Öberg, painted in 1963. It is housed in a very well suited wood frame with a linen slip. The painting is in excellent condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

    Size: 37.5 x 45.5cm (including frame)

  • Lambs

    Sold

    SOLD

    An oil painting reminiscent of the famous expressionist works by Vincent Van Gogh, this Swedish oil bears striking colour, emphatic brushwork and contoured forms, telling a story with a paintbrush. The artist has used the impasto technique fervently, applying the paint thickly to the canvas so that it stands proud and creates a three-dimensional effect. Swirls of coloured paint lend a warm glow to this intimate night time scene.

    This striking oil is painted on canvas on stretchers, and is framed in its original box frame which shows off its wood grain.

    Painted in 1969, it remains in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 39 x 47.5 cm (including frame)

  • Tulips

    Sold

    SOLD

    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.

    Size: 75 x 43 cm (including frame)

  • Evening Light

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size:  47 x 54 cm (including frame)

  • Golden Hour

    Sold

    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.

  • Life Goes By

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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).

    Size: 46 x 37 cm (including frame)

  • The Piazza

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore

    A bustling and robust scene of a piazza set amidst buildings in an urban area.

    The beauty of such a town square is that it encourages sociability and acts as a centre point for cultural life in the city.

    The artist has managed to capture this essence so perfectly in this work, as this town square is so alive and buzzing with energy. Nightfall has set in, and a line-up of stalls are presented; people from all walks of life are coming together, socialising, checking out the interesting stalls, and taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    Although the artist has chosen to use a darker colour palette to exemplify this night time scene, hints of orange have been used extensively to accentuate and highlight the distinct forms throughout the painting.

    This mid 20th century painting is an original oil on canvas by female Swedish painter Gusty Olsson (1902 -1976), and is signed on the lower left.

    The painting is presented in its original frame, which has some slight signs of ageing, more so to the upper edge. It is in good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 57 x 66 cm (including frame)

  • Recline

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An absolutely stunning mid 20th century oil painting of a female nude on a lounge chair in a reclined position.

    The female figure is well-composed and has an air of confidence. Her hair is styled in a bun, without a single strand out of place. At work, she is a woman of power, and she has just returned home after a long day of negotiating deals, wanting to unwind.

    The viewer is unable to make eye contact, as she is faced away gazing to the distance, and appears to be caught up in her thoughts, and not wishing to be interrupted.

    Her body recognises that it is time to unwind and leave one’s worries behind, as she is sat in a relaxed manner – with her slender legs stretched out, and her hands laid across the arm rests.

    It is signed and dated 1943 to the lower left, and is complemented by its gilt frame.

    Size: 33 x 56cm (including frame)

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blue Waters

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size: 46 x 54cm (including frame)

  • The Muse

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really unique semi-abstract painting in oil of a muse posing for an artist. In this piece emphasis has been placed on lines and forms as opposed to realistic details. For example, a triangular plane of saturated yellow has been used to represent the light streaming from the lamp shade above the head of the artist. But this plane of yellow is also what creates perspective and depth in this picture, establishing the space between the artist and the muse. Rich colours of green, yellow and gold give this painting a resplendence, emphasised further by the gilt frame surrounding the painting.

    Both painting and gilt frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 43.5 x 31cm (including frame)

  • Sail

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A magnificent work of art presenting a row of houses lined by an ocean front with docked sailboats in sight.

    This coastal scape draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism, abstraction, and fauvism; and 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 have been use to give rise to the various forms, and the artist has wonderfully managed to capture reflections in the water through the use of short and swift brushstrokes.

    The work comes presented in a wood frame with a linen lining, and is in good vintage condition.

    Size: 69 x 95 cm (including frame)

  • Tender Moments

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size:  47 x 50cm (including frame)

  • Staying In

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Blue II

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderful figure study of seated nude in watercolour and ink detailing. Hues of blue bleed into the paper, and the sanguine outline adds a a wonderful rust coloured contrast to the blue wash. It would definitely make quite a statement in any interior.

    The painting is housed in a double grey card mount and an oak frame.

    Size:  52.5 x 45 cm (including frame)

  • Soar

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size: 52.5 x 60.5 cm (including frame)

  • St Germain

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the 6th Arrondissement of Paris, is best known for the literary and artistic celebrities who lived and worked here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was the meeting point for existentialists, painters, and writers. This vibrant painting of the quarter accurately conveys its youthful energy and atmosphere.

    The oil painting is in good vintage condition, including some typical signs of ageing to the linen lining on the frame.

    Painting size: 21 x 25.5 cm

    Overall size: 30 x 34.5 cm (including frame)

    Note: The photos used are not meant to be an accurate size representation of the artwork. Please check dimensions before purchasing.

    Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.

  • Lazy Sunday

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size: 40.5 x 56cm (including frame)

  • The Dresser

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A fantastic still life oil painted in the impressionist style. Here the artist has rendered rich and intense colours,  seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, yellow and violet. Also evident is the artist’s use of the impressionist skill of the spontaneous brushstroke, each brush mark visible and distinct. Contrasting colours combined with multi directional strokes convey a sense of light and movement. There is a certain warmth and homeliness to this painting.

    The painting is housed in a robust frame, and 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.

    Size: 68 x 80 cm (including frame)

    A large and expressive modernist still life painting signed by Swedish artist A Nilsson.

    The work is well executed with short and swift brushstrokes, and painted with great confidence.

    Presenting a tray holding some fruits, glasses and a pitcher, we love the cool blue undertones in the work, and how the artist has highlighted the reflections and shadowy effects of the objects in blue as well, imbuing the work with so much character.

    This painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    It comes with a unique wood frame laid weaving and  a linen lining. Do note that the weaving on the frame has some fraying and losses

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This gorgeous array of freshly picked calendulas and chrysanthemums will most definitely add a touch of elegance to any interior space. The vibrant yellow flowers stand out beautifully against the darker grey -blue background, and the artist’s brushstrokes and areas of thicker impasto add texture and interest.

    We reframed this painting recently in this beautifully elegant champagne wood frame which adds structure and brightens the painting.

    Size: 40.5 x 51 cm (including frame)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Painted in 1973, this quintessentially modernist painting depicts three female figures seated by the sea. The figures are almost sculptural in form, their soft curves enhanced by the contrasting hard edges of the ledge they sit on and the  horizon beyond.

  • The Bathers

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressionist scene of 2 female bathers against a watery landscape. The figures have their backs to the viewer, and we are only able to able to catch sight of the side profiles.

    Bathers in art have been a long-standing tradition since the Renaissance, and this artwork in particular is reminiscent of the bathing scenes from Paul Cezanne.

    The forms of the two nudes are bold and well emphasised, as their silhouettes have been outlined by thick black lines .The artist has used quick and short brushstrokes, as well as heavy impasto to create a sense of three dimensionality in this work. The orderly blocks of blue in differing shades in the background helps create the illusion of depth in this painting.

    The painting is surrounded by a fantastic and robust original ash and green frame.

    It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 77 x 62 cm (including frame)

  • The Swans

    Sold

    A wonderful study of 2 white swans grazing in a lush garden, set against a historical building.

    On this fine morning in Spring, a graceful pair of swans have just emerged from the nearby lake, and have come to the lawn to nibble on grass. With no one else in sight, they are roaming freely in the area, with not a worry in the world.

    The artist has selected a beautiful naturalistic and earthy colour palette in this work; and has creatively dabbed a mix of clay, beige and sand colours to render the rough and granular nature of stone on the historical building.

    He has also painted the grass in a similar fashion – using different shades of green and some hints of beige to highlight its dense appearance.

    This mid 20th century painting is an oil on canvas, and is signed on the lower right.

    It is complemented by its gilt frame, and measures 73.5 x 62.5 cm (including frame)

    A absolutely stunning oil painting of birds in flight across a coastal landscape. The artist has managed to capture the crispness of an early winter morning, with a purple hue enveloping the landscape.

  • Ashore

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This excellent semi-abstract modernist oil painting is rather unique. The colour palette is almost monochrome upon first glance, and would perfectly suit an interior with a modern décor. As we take the time to study the painting however, several other colours come to light, including purples, browns, blues, and greens. The artist has played with geometric shapes – using flat planes of colour to create a sense of depth and three dimensionality.

    The painting is housed in its original silver and black painted wood frame. It is in good vintage condition, with some scuffs to the frame and small areas of surface losses to the painting (as shown in photos).

    Size: 52 x 60cm (including frame)

    This painting on board is in excellent vintage condition.

    It comes with a complementary silver painted distressed frame, but do note that the board is slightly loose within the frame.

    Size: 52.5 x 44.5 cm (including frame)
