  • Ikebana I

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate watercolour of a japanese ikebana arrangement. More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Contrary to the idea of a particolored or multicolored arrangement of blossoms, ikebana often emphasizes other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and puts emphasis on shape, line, and form.

    The painting is housed in an oak frame, and both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    We have a a few similar Ikebana paintings which if purchased together could be displayed as a very complementary set. To view the other paintings click here.

  • Picnic in the Park

    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 very pleasant mid 20th century oil on canvas presenting a magnificent panoramic view of a park and the city.

    The sky is blue, and the air is crisp; as 2 friends are enjoying their picnic in the park whilst admiring the stunning view that overlooks the city.

    The artist has used a vibrant colour palette, especially multiple shades of green, that imbues the work with so much life and vitality. The brushstrokes used are short and broad, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the composition is highly well-balanced – with the area of lush greenery and blue sky having equal visual weight.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are minor 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 work housed in a robust sage green frame that complements the artwork very well. There are some marks on the frame; and as it is its original frame, its joints are slightly delicate, but nevertheless, holds the painting well.

  • The Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD

    A thoroughly picturesque and atmospheric landscape scene. Presenting a bridge over a water stream cutting through rows of houses and trees, with a stunning mountain view in the background.

    The artist wonderfully captures the setting of the sun, as it bathes the mountains, buildings and river in its warm light,  and warm yellow tinge to the sky.

    Despite the painterly and swift brushstrokes, the painting evokes an overall sense of calm, due to the stillness from the mountains and water stream.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with gilt lining. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Evening Stroll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoroughly atmospheric evening landscape scene, with people on their daily amble. Evening light has begun to set in, as the last of the daylight slowly seeps away.  For so many of us, walks out in the fresh air were what got us through this difficult lockdown period. This painting perfectly captures that slightly mellow yet comfortable feeling of being alone with oneself, with not much else to do.

    The painting is housed is in a robust gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small crack to the top inner corner (as shown in the photos), but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

    A stunning and eye catching  large statement piece depicting lilies and other florals in a glass vase, set against a distinctive blue background.

  • Before the Storm

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and dynamic mid 20th century seascape painted in oil.

    Executed in bold colours and confident brushstrokes, this artwork depicts an elderly couple admiring the wonder and beauty of nature. They look out towards the choppy waters, a storm is brewing in the green lit sky, as strong tidal waves are crashing in the vast ocean.

    With areas of thick impasto creating texture and three dimensionality – the work is imbued with a strong sense of movement, as one can almost feel the energy of the breaking waves.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary beige wooden frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Exhale

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This zen winter landscape rendered in a muted palette in oil is both simple and striking.  A snow covered field stretches into the distance, its horizon lined by a row of hazy trees. Mounds of seemingly barren land peak through the thin layer of snow. But barren it is not, merely taking its chance to rest through winter before the busier season of crops begin again. Its ploughed lines extend forward into the distance – here is the earth taking a long, much needed exhalation. A reminder that we all need to take a moment or two to rest, relax and breathe from time to time.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary silver wood frame with hits of red showing through.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Room

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed modernist style painting of an abstracted interior setting, dated 1951.

    We are able to make out patio doors, a coat hanger with several coats hanging, and an assortment of objects placed on the ground. The artist has intentionally painted the objects in a very abstracted manner, focusing instead on shapes, forms, colours and outlines more than any realistic details.

    Broad and swift brushstrokes have been applied in a multi-directional and confident manner. The artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together to create a textured effect.

    The oil on canvas is housed in a gorgeous distressed frame wood, showing off its wood grain beautifully.

    Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Figur

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic semi abstract oil depicting a figure within an abstracted background, painted in a cool palette of blue, white and yellow. The artist has intentionally focussed on the play of colour, choosing to leave out any realistic details or sense of perspective or context. A figure sits in the centre of the picture, and although distinct, he seems to almost be on the verge of merging into the curtain of colour behind him. This painting has a wonderful sense of playfulness and mystery about it.

    The painting is housed in a light champagne frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • After the Rain

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This fantastic oil depicts a deep and moody street scene in Stockholm. The rain has cleared but the brooding skies suggest that there is perhaps more to come. 3 figures walk down the empty road, past the colourful townhouses.

    The brushstrokes and colour palette capture the melancholy poignantly in this 1950s painting.  Multi directional strokes in a blended palette create an intensity and depth that conveys the mood of the picture.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame with gilt highlights. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of restoration (as seen in the photos) but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Friends

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed oil on canvas depicting 3 good friends having a conversation in the outdoors on a winter’s day.

    What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique – where the artist has confidently applied thick layers of paint on the canvas, giving it an outstanding three-dimensional appearance.

    Although a restrained colour palette with a predominance of blue, green, and orange can be seen, the way that the artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together so harmoniously is simply stunning.

    Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary rattan-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • Shimmer & Gold

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An exquisite still life painting of a vase of pink flower cuttings. The artist has captured the free and wild nature of the stems, carefully including the fallen stems to achieve a sense of balance and naturalism within the picture. The colours of the background and vase mimic the leaves, allowing the contrasting pink of the flowers to stand out.

    This fine painting is housed in a robust and ornately detailed moulded gilt frame.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some minor losses to the frame moulding but this has been restored and painted over in gold (refer to photos).

    Size:  62 x 48cm (including frame)

  • Curio

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really interesting and detailed oil painting of a selection of antiquities and collectables. The array of objects presented atop a white table reflect an interest in world culture and history, and perhaps even the particular interests of a scholar or explorer who might have picked up these objects on his travels. In the background hangs a patterned fabric, possibly of East Asian origin.

    The artist has taken great care in capturing the varying textures of each object. For example, we are able to surmise the polished stone of the head study on the left, whose surface texture stands in contrast to the rougher finish of the tall earthenware vessel in the middle.

    The painting is housed in a very unique textured wide profile frame with a mixture of finishes, included a moulded gilt inner window.

    Painted in 1959, it is in very good vintage condition overall. There are some cracks in the paint that are only visible if inspected very closely, but the paint surface stable. Cracks like these are very normal for a painting of this age as the paint medium contracts over time.

  • The Cottage

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The overall atmosphere and character of this piece imbues us with thoughts of bright summer days, when everything, including the landscape itself, is full of life and activity. The vitality of the brushstrokes, so many of them large, bold and strong, enlivens the cottages and their surroundings by conveying a sense of movement – the leaves on the trees and the blades on the grass flutter lightly in the summer air.

    Beautifully presented in a uniquely designed and complementary frame, this lovely oil painting transports us to a place far away, but yet somewhere homely and familiar, where we can put our feet up and watch the squirrels busying themselves running up the trees.

  • Await

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    What’s most captivating is the visible and expressive brushstrokes, that have been executed with much gusto and confidence that we can almost feel the outpouring energy from this beautiful day.

    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.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary silver frame with a linen lining.

    Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Moonlit Night

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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 Country Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An idyllic view of a country path curves to the left, obscuring our view of what lies just beyond the bend, tempting us to continue on in order to find out.

    This picturesque miniature reminds us of the natural simplicity and beauty of what a simple country walk can offer. Flower lined paths and rolling hills beyond –  such a small picture and yet so much captured within. Stamping its presence is a bold gilt frame, whose concave profile invite us to look closer and peer into the painting.

    This wonderful miniature oil is in excellent vintage condition.

    Painting Size: 7 x 7.5 cm

    Overall Size: 16 x 17 cm (including frame)

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

  • Scanian Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Cottage in the Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.
