The Open Door
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century interior composition that captures a quiet domestic moment, centred around a finely detailed console table set against a softly lit wall, executed in oil onto canvas.

The arrangement is carefully balanced: a small bouquet of vivid red flowers, flanked by slender candlesticks, sits beneath a grouping of framed artworks and decorative plates, lending the scene a sense of order and intimacy.

To the right, an open door becomes the focal point of the composition, revealing a glimpse of a lush garden bathed in natural light. This transition from interior stillness to exterior vitality creates a subtle narrative tension – inviting the viewer outward while anchoring them firmly within the calm of the room.

Stylistically, the work leans toward a refined, almost Scandinavian minimalism, with clean lines, precise perspective, and a quiet emphasis on geometry and space. The composition is deliberate and measured, evoking a sense of harmony and restraint.

The colour palette is soft and muted, dominated by warm neutrals – dusty mauves, pale creams, and gentle browns – contrasted by the fresh greens and floral pinks of the garden beyond. The small accents of red within the bouquet provide a striking yet controlled focal point, adding warmth without disrupting the painting’s tranquil balance.

Brushwork is delicate and controlled, with smooth, even application across walls and surfaces, lending the piece a polished finish. Subtle tonal gradations and fine detailing – particularly in the furniture and architectural elements – demonstrate a careful hand, while the garden beyond is rendered with slightly looser, more expressive touches, enhancing the sense of depth and light.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame with a stepped, moulded profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows some slight losses, consistent with age, which does not detract from the overall presentation and charm of the piece.

The Red Table
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intimate mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

The interior is centred on a small, round table draped in a vivid red cloth, paired with a slender blue chair. The setting is intimate and pared back, with a turquoise door to the left introducing depth and structure, while a small, minimally rendered painting hangs on the wall behind. A simple vase of flowers and a small vessel rest atop the table, suggesting a moment of pause, as if the space has just been left or is waiting to be occupied.

Rendered in a mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplified forms and flattened perspective. The artist has distilled the interior into essential geometric shapes and colour blocks, creating a balance between representation and abstraction. There is a strong decorative sensibility at play, with careful attention to spatial relationships and visual rhythm rather than strict realism.

The palette is warm yet strikingly balanced. The deep red of the tablecloth anchors the composition, contrasted beautifully by the cool turquoise of the door and the soft blue of the chair. Earthy brown tones in the floor add warmth, while the walls are painted in muted creams and gentle lilacs, lending a soft, atmospheric backdrop.

The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible, painterly strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Broader strokes define the walls and floor, while slightly more controlled applications shape the furniture and objects. Edges are softened rather than sharply delineated, enhancing the painting’s calm, contemplative mood.

This oil on canvas is housed in a charming wooden frame with multiple profiles, finished in warm, layered tones that beautifully complement the palette of the painting. The painting is in good condition overall – there is some craquelure present that is consistent with age, however the paint layer is in stable and does not detract from the overall appearance of the work.

Between Presences
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative 20th century figurative painting that captures three loosely rendered figures in what appears to be a quiet interior passageway, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

The central figure, seen from behind in a dark, almost silhouetted form, anchors the composition, while two lighter, more ethereal figures flank either side – one turned slightly inward, the other facing outward with a casual stance. The scene feels suspended in a moment of subtle interaction, where the narrative is implied rather than defined.

Executed in a restrained, painterly style, the work leans toward abstraction while maintaining a strong figurative presence. The artist has used soft, diffused edges and minimal detailing, allowing the figures to emerge gently from the pale ground. There is a sense of spatial ambiguity, with faint architectural lines suggesting depth without fully committing to perspective – enhancing the introspective, almost dreamlike quality of the piece.

The colour palette is understated and harmonious, dominated by cool greys, soft blues, and muted whites, with occasional warmer undertones in the faces and background. The central figure’s darker tones create a striking contrast, drawing the eye and grounding the composition.

Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible layering that give the surface a tactile quality. Areas of thinly applied paint sit alongside more gestural passages, contributing to the work’s atmospheric softness and quiet emotional resonance.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Morning Light with Tulips
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle and delicate mid-century interior still life composition that unfolds around an open window, where soft daylight filters through sheer curtains and gently illuminates a vase of freshly cut tulips, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene captures a quiet, intimate domestic moment while the blurred greenery beyond the window hints at a tranquil garden just outside. The composition balances stillness and life, with the flowers acting as the focal point against the airy, light-filled backdrop.

Executed in a mid-century modern painterly style, the work leans toward a soft impressionistic approach. Forms are gently simplified rather than sharply defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over precision. There is a delicate interplay between interior and exterior space, achieved through loose rendering and subtle layering.

The palette is light, fresh, and calming – dominated by soft whites, pale greens, and muted blush pinks. Hints of cool blue-grey in the window frames and shadows add depth, while the tulips introduce gentle warmth without overpowering the composition. The overall tonality is airy and luminous, evoking early morning light.

Brushwork is soft and fluid, with light, feathery strokes that create a sense of translucency, particularly in the curtains and glass. The flowers are rendered with slightly more definition, using loose yet confident strokes to suggest form without rigidity. The background remains intentionally diffuse, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s dreamy, atmospheric quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. There are tiny areas of craquelure present on the petals, consistent with age. However, the paint layer is stable and this does not detract from the overall delicacy and charm of the composition and the painting is otherwise in good vintage condition.

Chair in Sunlight

Sold

SOLD

An intimate mid-century still life centres on a simple wooden chair, positioned in a dim interior and illuminated by a striking shaft of light, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two small fruits rest gently on the seat, introducing a subtle human touch without the presence of a figure. The composition is sparse yet deliberate, with the chair’s linear structure and the vertical band of light creating a quiet tension between solidity and atmosphere. The surrounding darkness enhances the sense of stillness, evoking a contemplative, almost meditative mood.

The style leans toward a pared-back realism infused with modernist restraint. Forms are simplified, and the geometry of the chair is emphasised through clean lines and carefully observed perspective. There’s a strong interplay between light and shadow, reminiscent of chiaroscuro, yet softened through a muted, mid-century sensibility. The artist has focused less on detail and more on mood, allowing light itself to become the central subject.

The palette is warm and earthy – deep browns and burnt sienna dominate the scene, contrasted by the pale, almost creamy tones of the illuminated chair. The fruits introduce gentle accents of yellow, subtly catching the light and drawing the eye. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with fine, even layering that allows the canvas texture to quietly show through. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the painting a hushed, atmospheric quality that feels both timeless and introspective.

This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame that complements the subdued palette of the work beautifully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Sunlit Courtyard
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quietly evocative mid-century composition that captures an architectural space bathed in angled afternoon light, executed in oil onto canvas.

The viewer is drawn into a corridor-like courtyard framed by simple geometric structures – sloping roofs, rectangular windows, and a series of vertical supports that create a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow. The absence of figures heightens the stillness, allowing the space itself to become the subject: contemplative, almost cinematic in its sense of pause and presence.

Rendered in a restrained, modernist style, the painting leans into clean lines and simplified forms, reminiscent of mid-century architectural studies. The palette is warm yet muted: soft taupe, sandy beiges, and gentle creams are contrasted with cooler greys and shadowed browns. Light is handled with particular sensitivity, casting elongated triangular shapes across the walls and ground, creating depth and quiet tension within the composition.

The brushwork is controlled, precise, and deliberate, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise structure over gesture. Edges are softly defined rather than sharply outlined, contributing to the painting’s serene, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame that complements the palette of the work beautifully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

£480
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intimate interior scene that exudes warmth and quietude and executed in an impressionist style, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1989.

Depicting a sunlit corner set for two, the composition depicts round table draped in white linen is flanked by a pair of red chairs with floral upholstery, evoking a sense of lived-in elegance. Atop the table sits a vase overflowing with wildflowers, while a cat rests peacefully at the foot of the chairs, blending gently into the richly textured floor.

Executed in a modern impressionist style, the painting features thick, expressive brushstrokes and a soft, diffused palette of warm ochres, terracotta reds, and dusty blues. The layered impasto technique adds depth and tactile presence, inviting the viewer into a serene, light-filled space that feels both familiar and timeless.

Room with Blue Window

Sold

SOLD

A captivating mid-century interior composition that draws the viewer into a sunlit room where everyday objects take on a contemplative stillness, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Tore Nyberg (1911-1993), whose has been represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, and the Värmland Museum in Karlstad, to name a few.

Two simple wooden chairs sit at ease, one angled toward the window, the other slightly withdrawn, suggesting the subtle presence of human life just beyond the frame. Through the central window, a softened exterior unfolds: pale facades and rooftops rendered in light tones.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting balances structure and looseness with remarkable sensitivity. The composition is anchored by strong verticals ( the doorframe, window panes, and chair backs) yet softened by expressive, painterly handling. There is a quiet geometry at play, but it never feels rigid. Instead, it breathes with a lived-in warmth.

The colour palette is both fresh and harmonious, dominated by cool blues and turquoise tones that frame the window and radiate throughout the room. These are beautifully offset by warm browns, and dusty greens, creating a gentle dialogue between interior warmth and exterior light. Subtle shifts in tone , particularly in the walls and floor, add depth without overwhelming the scene.

Brushstrokes are confident and visible, applied with a relaxed, almost intuitive hand. Edges are loosely defined, allowing forms to blur slightly into one another, enhancing the sense of atmosphere. The paint surface carries a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and give the composition a quiet vibrancy.

Overall, this is a deeply atmospheric work: an intimate study of space, light, and stillness, where beauty is found in the ordinary.

This oil on board is presented in a beautifully characterful, rustic wooden frame that complements the warmth and intimacy of the interior scene. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of paint loss but this reveals the wood underneath and adds to its vintage charm.

Size: 90 x 67 cm (including frame)

Seaside Bench
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet very striking mid-century modern figurative landscape oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The composition depicts a couple seated side by side on a bench overlooking a coastal landscape. Positioned in the foreground, the two figures sit quietly together, their bodies angled slightly toward the open horizon where the sea stretches out beneath a pale blue sky. Behind them, rolling green hills and foliage frame the scene, while sandy brown paths and coastal terrain lead the eye toward the calm water in the distance. The composition captures a quiet moment of companionship and reflection within a tranquil seaside setting.

Rendered in an expressive style, the figures are simplified and loosely defined, with minimal facial detail. Their posture and colour carry the emotional tone of the scene rather than strict realism. The landscape itself is composed of bold, abstracted forms – rounded foliage, blocks of hillside colour, and horizontal bands of sea and sky – creating a balanced yet spontaneous composition.

The palette is rich yet harmonious. Deep forest greens shape the surrounding landscape, contrasted by warm sand of the coastal ground. The sea appears in calm bands of muted blue beneath a soft, open sky. The seated figures provide visual contrast: one dressed in a light, almost luminous light blue garment, the other in deeper navy and teal tones that subtly echo the colours of the ocean behind them.

Brushstrokes are broad and confident, applied with visible painterly energy. Thick, expressive strokes define the foliage and figures, while flatter passages of colour describe the sea and sky, creating a pleasing interplay between texture and calm space. The slightly rough, gestural application gives the painting vitality and movement.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Reader’s Pause
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative interior scene that unfolds around a seated female figure, absorbed in reading, executed in oil onto canvas.

Positioned beside an open window, she is framed by a gentle interplay between interior and exterior worlds where the stillness of the room is contrasted with a distant, simplified landscape beyond. A small table with a vase of flowers and furnishing introduces a domestic warmth. The figure’s downward gaze and relaxed posture evoke a moment of quiet solitude, as though time has briefly paused within this private space.

Executed in an expressive mid-century style, the painting prioritises mood and emotional presence over strict realism. The figure is deliberately simplified, with slightly exaggerated proportions and softened features that lend a dreamlike, almost introspective quality. Spatial relationships are subtly skewed, enhancing the sense of intimacy and subjectivity. The composition feels intuitive rather than rigid, capturing not just a scene, but a feeling.

The palette is rich yet restrained, balancing cool, airy blues with earthy reds, mossy greens, and warm ochres. These tones are layered and slightly muted, giving the painting a lived-in softness. The contrast between the cooler wall and the warmer clothing creates a quiet tension, while the deeper blues and greens anchor the composition and add depth.

The brushwork is confident and expressive, with visible, gestural strokes that animate the surface. Paint is applied with a tactile immediacy, sometimes thin and sketch-like, at other moments thicker and more deliberate, allowing the artist’s hand to remain present throughout. Edges are loosely defined, and transitions between colours feel organic rather than controlled, reinforcing the emotional, painterly quality of the work.

This oil on canvas is housed in a softly toned wood frame that complements the work’s gentle, intimate mood. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

She Who Reaches
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century figurative painting that captures an intimate interior moment where a woman is seen cleaning a shop window, set within a richly layered setting, executed in oil onto canvas.

Her gesture feels unhurried, calmly cleaning the shop front window. The room unfolds around her: a table laid with fruit, a small vase of flowers, and stacked vessels or books that lend a sense of warmth.

The composition leans into a modernist, naïve expressionist style. Perspective is deliberately flattened, and forms are simplified into bold, almost sculptural shapes. Rather than striving for realism, the artist prioritises atmosphere and feeling, allowing the space to read as both physical and emotional.

The colour palette is striking and evocative. Deep, inky blues and blacks dominate the upper half, punctuated by glowing circular forms that suggest lamplight or a stylised moon beyond the interior. These darker tones are balanced by earthy reds, browns, and greens that ground the scene. The figure’s garment, rendered in rich violet hues, becomes the compositional anchor, drawing the eye immediately to her presence.

Brushstrokes are confident and tactile, applied with visible energy. These loose gestural marks create a surface that feels alive and rhythmic.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Striped Room
£1,200
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century modern still life painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Bengt Orup (1916–1996), whose works are held in major international collections including Moderna Museet and National Museum in Stockholm, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Tessin Institute in Paris, and many more.

The composition presents two sculptural black vessels arranged before a window. One holds a radiant sunflower rendered in a bold, simplified form, while the other cradles stylised fruit, depicted as faceted geometric shapes. Through the window behind them, a small red and green landscape appear, adding a quiet narrative element that contrasts with the graphic interior setting. Framing the scene are striking red-and-white horizontal stripes, creating a rhythmic backdrop that energises the composition and draws the eye inward.

Orup’s modernist approach reduces objects to strong geometric silhouettes and carefully balanced shapes. The palette is vivid yet controlled: deep black vessels anchor the composition against bright sunflower yellow, warm reds, fresh greens and cool greys. Brushstrokes are deliberate and confident, with smooth, flat planes of colour and subtle texture that emphasise clarity, structure and design.

The result is a playful yet sophisticated still life that merges interior, landscape and abstraction which are hallmarks of Orup’s distinctive mid-century visual language.

This oil on board is presented in a warm gilt wooden frame with an inner border, which beautifully complements the painting’s bold palette. The painting has some light craquelure present to its paint surface, but it is very stable and consistent with the age of the work, and does not detract from the overall visual appeal.

Lavender & Fruit
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A joyful radiant mid-century interior still life that captures a sunlit window scene in full bloom, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a tall turquoise glass jug brims with freshly cut lavender, its lilac blossoms arching gently outward. Resting beside it on the windowsill are three ripe fruit, their warm red and golden tones offering a rich counterpoint to the cool palette that surrounds them. Beyond the glass, lush greenery presses against the pane, suggesting a garden just beyond the interior space.

Executed in a lively, expressive mid-century style, the forms are loosely defined yet confidently structured, with simplified shapes and a focus on colour harmony over strict realism. The vertical and horizontal lines of the window frame anchor the scene, creating a subtle geometric structure within the organic abundance of foliage and flowers.

The colour palette is fresh and invigorating. Layers of turquoise, teal and aqua dominate the setting, punctuated by flashes of lemon yellow and spring green in the background foliage. The lavender blooms are rendered in soft purples, dusty pinks and touches of white, while the fruit introduce warmth through saturated reds and amber highlights. This interplay of cool and warm tones gives the painting a dynamic, sunlit energy.

Brushstrokes are bold, textured and gestural, applied with visible confidence. Thick impasto passages define the petals and leaves, while broader, sweeping strokes animate the background. The paint surface has a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and enhance the sense of immediacy and movement.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

The Fireplace
£400
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century interior painting that captures the serene presence of a masonry fireplace, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

The fireplace stands centrally, its sculptural form softened by rounded contours and pale plaster surfaces, suggesting both warmth and architectural dignity. To the left, an open doorway reveals a glimpse of an adjoining room. A narrow woven runner stretches across the floor, guiding the eye horizontally and grounding the composition in the rhythm of everyday life. Simple fireplace tools rest quietly beside the hearth, reinforcing the intimate domestic atmosphere.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist balances representation with subtle abstraction. Forms are simplified yet retain their essence, allowing structure and light to take precedence over intricate detail. The composition feels calm and deliberate, with an emphasis on spatial harmony and gentle geometry.

The colour palette is soft and muted, composed of chalky whites, warm creams, pale sage greens, and cool greys, accented by dusty blues and understated earthy browns within the firebox. These tones create a tranquil, contemplative mood, evoking diffused daylight and the quiet comfort of interior spaces during colder seasons.

Brushstrokes are visible and tactile, applied with a confident yet delicate hand. The paint surface reveals subtle layering, with thin washes and lightly textured passages that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge. Edges are softly blended rather than sharply defined, lending the work a dreamlike softness. The artist’s handling of light and form conveys both immediacy and restraints.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

The Laundry Room
£625
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A lively 1977 interior figurative painting that captures a lively domestic moment within what appears to be a laundry room, executed in oil onto canvas.

A group of women are absorbed in their individual tasks: lifting sheets, folding linen, tending to fabrics, and moving rhythmically through the shared space. The presence of cribs in the foreground adds a gentle narrative rhythm, evoking themes of care, routine, and collective responsibility. The scene feels observed rather than staged, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life.

Executed in a gentle modernist figurative style, the composition prioritises atmosphere and emotion over strict realism. Figures are simplified and slightly elongated, their forms softened into painterly silhouettes. The spatial arrangement guides the eye fluidly from foreground to background, creating a sense of continuity between the women, their tasks, and the surrounding architecture. Tall arched windows allow light to pour into the space, reinforcing the feeling of calm routine and shared purpose.

The palette is dominated by delicate, muted tones – powder blues, greens, soft creams, and pale lavenders – punctuated by warmer accents of rust, ochre, and terracotta in the figures’ garments. These gentle colour harmonies evoke cleanliness, light, and quiet introspection, reinforcing the contemplative tone of the scene.

Brushwork is loose, expressive, and economical. Forms are suggested rather than fully defined, with thin veils of paint layered transparently to create softness and luminosity. Edges blur into one another, allowing figures and environment to merge subtly, while occasional firmer strokes articulate gestures and movement. The overall effect is intimate and atmospheric, capturing not only a place, but the lived rhythm and quiet humanity of shared work.

This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary slim white wooden frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Coastal Fields
£595
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century modernist landscape that distils the essence of a coastal countryside into a harmonious arrangement of simplified forms and tonal planes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

Rolling fields stretch gently toward a distant shoreline, where muted hills dissolve into a tranquil horizon beneath a softly weathered sky. A cluster of whitewashed structures sits quietly within the terrain, offering a subtle human presence amid the expansive natural setting.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition reflects the mid-century inclination toward abstraction while remaining grounded in the landscape tradition. The artist has reduced the scenery into layered, geometric passages, allowing the rhythm of land and sea to unfold through balanced shapes rather than literal detail. This approach creates a sense of calm structure and contemplative stillness, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as both place and memory.

The colour palette is beautifully subdued and earthy, featuring sandy ochres, pale sage greens, chalky creams, and deep olive tones. These are complemented by a band of muted teal and blue along the horizon, suggesting distant water or sky.

The brushwork is textural yet controlled, with areas of dry brush and impasto that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge through the paint surface. Edges are softly broken and irregular, lending the composition an organic, tactile quality. This interplay between material texture and simplified form enhances the painting’s atmospheric presence, embodying the quiet elegance and thoughtful restraint characteristic of mid-century modernist landscape painting.

This oil on canvas is housed in a refined and well-suited frame with gilt mouldings and an inner linen window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Light Through the Arches
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric interior scene that depicts a serene dining space where a sequence of arches opens into a softly illuminated space beyond, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

The composition draws the viewer inward, moving through shadowed passageways toward a sunlit interior. Beyond the shadowed foreground, tables and chairs are arranged in gentle clusters, hinting at a dining setting. The absence of figures lends the scene a contemplative calm, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet murmur of conversation and the play of light across tabletops.

Executed in a classic mid-century modern style, the composition favours mood and structure over precise detail. Architectural forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing light and spatial rhythm to guide the eye inward. The palette is warm and restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep umbers, and muted blues, offset by soft creams and browns that suggest sunlight filtering through the arched openings.

The brushwork is expressive and layered, with confident, textured strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Thicker applications of paint define the arches and furniture, while looser, more gestural passages dissolve into shadow, creating depth and atmosphere. The result is a quietly evocative work that captures both the intimacy and timeless elegance of an interior dining space suspended in stillness.

This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary silver-toned frame with a an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and some age spots are present to the linen border.

The Open Window
£490
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large, serene and light-filled mid-century coastal scene viewed from an open window, painted in oil onto canvas.

This tranquil painting invites the viewer into a sunlit summer morning by the sea. The composition is framed by delicate, sheer curtains billowing gently inward, softening the transition between interior and exterior. Beyond the window lies a lush garden bursting with violet blue delphiniums and pale pink blooms, leading the eye toward a sparkling expanse of ocean where the sun casts a gentle shimmer across the water.

Rendered in a soft, lyrical mid-century style, the palette is dominated by airy whites, fresh greens, pastel blues, and gentle pinks, creating a sense of calm and effortless charm. The artist has used light, feathery brushstrokes to capture the translucency of the curtains and the movement of the foliage, while smoother, blended strokes describe the distant horizon and glowing sky. Subtle impasto in the floral areas adds texture and depth, enhancing the sense of a garden alive with colour and breeze.

A peaceful and evocative work that beautifully captures the nostalgia of coastal summers and the quiet poetry of a room opening onto nature.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Still Life with Mountain View
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative mid-century still life that presents a quiet interior moment set against a distant landscape, painted in oil onto board.

In the foreground, a tabletop arrangement of fruit: a crescent slice of watermelon, a rounded green melon, and a dark plum sits alongside a simple tumbler, all positioned before an open window with shuttered sides. Beyond the window, a sparse rural scene unfolds: whitewashed buildings, rolling fields, and softly contoured mountains receding into a muted horizon. The composition gently balances interior intimacy with exterior openness, inviting the viewer to linger between the domestic and the expansive.

Stylistically, the work reflects classic mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified forms, flattened perspective, and a deliberate restraint in detail. The palette is calm and earthy – dusty greys, sage and olive greens, soft blues, and chalky whites – punctuated by the gentle blush pink of the watermelon flesh, which acts as a subtle focal point. Darker tones around the window frame and tabletop anchor the composition and create a sense of enclosure.

The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Broad, matte strokes define planes and objects, while visible brush marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are softly articulated rather than sharply drawn, contributing to the work’s contemplative mood.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Cafe Corner
£500
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century figurative scene capturing two quiet moments at a cafe, painted in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a seated figure in a deep navy jacket and soft blue beret rests a hand on the edge of a round cafe table, their form simplified into warm, tonal blocks of colour. Behind them, another figure is absorbed in reading, rendered with the same softened anonymity. A bright window view opens out to terracotta rooftops and a leafy green tree, bathing the interior in a gentle, diffused glow.

Painted in a restrained, modernist style, the composition favours suggestion over detail. Colours are muted yet fresh – powder blues, sage greens, clay reds, and chalky neutrals form a harmonious palette. The brushwork is tactile and deliberate, with thick, confident strokes that create a pleasing sense of texture and movement. Figures and objects are shaped through broad patches of pigment rather than fine modelling, giving the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 60.5 x 39 cm (including frame)

Green Apple with Glasses
£720
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined mid-century still life that presents a quiet tabletop arrangement composed of a dark glass bottle, a delicate wine glass holding a small measure of red wine, and a vivid green apple, painted in oil onto canvas.

Set against a cool, muted background, the composition balances solidity and translucence, with the reflective tabletop subtly mirroring the forms above it. A secondary, shadowed bottle in the background adds depth and a sense of spatial calm, while loosely suggested vertical planes hint at an interior setting beyond the table’s edge.

Executed in a distinctly modernist mid-century style, the painting favours simplified forms and tonal harmony over strict realism. The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: smoky blue-greys and slate tones dominate the background, offset by the rich emerald of the bottle, the jewel-like crimson of the wine, and the luminous, almost electric green of the apple. These carefully placed accents draw the eye and create a gentle visual rhythm across the surface.

The brushwork is confident, with visible strokes lending texture and life to the painted surface. Broad, matte passages contrast with more fluid, translucent handling in the glassware, where light and reflection are suggested rather than meticulously detailed.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame with visible grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Dance the Night Away
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively, cubist-inspired depiction of a dance scene, painted in oil onto board.

Bursting with movement, music, and social energy, the artist has stylised the human figures into angular, geometric forms, using dynamic composition and vivid colour to capture the joy and motion of a moment frozen in time.

The palette is warm and rich, dominated by reds, oranges, yellows, and earthy browns, contrasted with purples, greens, and soft greys. Movement is conveyed not just through the figures but through the background, which is fractured into diagonal planes, giving the scene energy and rhythm.

The dance, the music, and the expressive poses suggest a night of uninhibited fun. This painting is a beautiful example of how modernist geometry and vibrant social scenes can merge into something timeless and full of spirit.

This oil on board is housed in a wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some very light scuffing to the frame but it is good condition overall.

Size: 43 x 45.5 cm (including frame)

Still Life Elements
£580
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bold and stylised mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1955.

Blending cubist and modernist influences, the composition is defined by strong, simplified shapes and vivid colour blocking, creating a playful yet structured visual experience. The painting features an arrangement of classic still life elements including a pitcher, a teapot, bottles, a cup, and several round red fruits. Bright green leaves sprawl across the foreground, adding organic curves against the sharper forms behind them.

These pops of vibrant red in the fruit and rich green in the leaves create striking contrast. A triangular beam of yellow light or background wall shape adds dynamic energy and depth to the scene.

The shadows are bold and geometric, not naturalistic, adding a graphic design-like quality that emphasises form over realism.

This painting embraces a modernist abstraction of still life, similar in spirit to the work of Fernand Léger or early Picasso. It feels both playful and calculated, as if each shape is carefully placed like pieces in a visual puzzle. It also has a slightly theatrical feel, as if lit from stage lights, enhancing its sense of constructed drama.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully distressed vintage wood frame. The painting has some areas of craquelure as shown in the photos but it is very stable overall. The frame has some scuffing, commensurate with age.

Size: 61.5 x 74 cm (including frame)

Arrangement by the Window
£540
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined mid-century interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

This composition arranges everyday objects into a poised, almost architectural tableau. A bowl of brightly coloured fruit anchors the scene, set upon a warm brown tabletop alongside two citrus forms and a slender candlestick. Above, a dark mortar and pestle sits against a softly diffused window, where vertical strokes evoke sheer curtains and architectural buildings. Along the lower register, abstract floral or fruit-like motifs echo the colours above, creating a rhythmic visual balance.

Rendered in a modernist, reductive style, the painting favours simplified shapes and carefully weighted blocks of colour over fine detail. Softly scumbled brushstrokes and visible edges give the work a textural, atmospheric quality, while the artist’s palette – dusty blues, muted greys, warm ochres, soft greens, and small bursts of orange and yellow lends calmness punctuated by subtle vibrancy. The overall effect is contemplative and elegant, transforming a quiet domestic moment into a study of harmony, form, and mood.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Figure and Flowers
£505
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century modernist style painting that depicts a quiet, intimate interior moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

A female figure is seated at a table, deeply focused on her hands as she works or writes. She wears a white headscarf and a pale blue dress, her posture soft and contemplative. To her right, a simple vase holds two vivid red-orange flowers, their petals dramatically fanned and adding a lively burst of colour to the otherwise serene setting. A closed book rests on the table, anchoring the composition with a sense of stillness and domestic quiet.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work embraces simplified geometric forms, muted planes of colour, and a strong sense of design. The artist has reduced detail to essentials, relying on shape and tonal relationships to describe space and figure. The overall aesthetic is minimal, balanced, and quietly poetic.

The palette is soft and harmonious: cool greys, pale blues, cream, soft yellow and muted greens form the foundation of the room and figure. These gentle tones are beautifully contrasted by the bold, saturated reds and oranges of the flowers, giving the composition a striking focal point without overwhelming its calm mood.

Brushwork is smooth, controlled, and deliberate, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Edges are clean and slightly softened, contributing to the painting’s gentle, contemplative atmosphere.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Vivid Blossoms
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and expressive mid-century still life painting with wonderful texture, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition depicts two flowering plants in terracotta pots, their bold red blooms bursting with energy against a softly lit interior backdrop. The composition centres on the lush, elongated green leaves and radiant flowers, capturing the vitality of the plants as they lean and unfurl with natural dynamism.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century expressionist style, the painting embraces thick, confident impasto throughout. Generous, sculptural brushstrokes build up the surface, giving the petals and foliage a textured, almost tactile presence. The palette is warm and uplifting: vivid red and coral for the blossoms, earthy greens for the foliage, deep browns for the pots, and a soft mixture of creams, yellows, and pale blues in the surrounding interior.

The artist’s vigorous technique brings a sense of immediacy and movement, allowing the flowers to feel almost alive. Light dances across the textured paint, adding depth and a glowing warmth that enhances the overall charm of the scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Violin & Flowers
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and atmospheric mid-century still life depicting a beautifully balanced arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

A richly toned violin lies gently across a tabletop, its warm reddish-brown body catching the light with a subtle sheen. Behind it, a patterned ceramic vase holds three full white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals captured with beautifully textured, expressive brushwork. The surrounding interior, rendered in soft muted tones, provides a calm and understated backdrop that allows the objects to take centre stage.

The painting is executed in a refined realist-impressionist style, marked by a balance of clarity and softness. The earthy greens, warm browns, and creamy whites create a soothing, cohesive palette, while the contrast between the polished surface of the violin and the delicate, layered petals of the chrysanthemums adds visual richness. The brushstrokes shift thoughtfully throughout: crisp and tactile in the flowers, smooth and controlled along the violin, and gently blended in the background – giving the work depth and atmosphere without drawing attention away from the central arrangement.

This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Lily of the Valley with Pears
£905
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and characterful mid-century interior still life composition executed in tempera on board, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

This beautifully composed painting centres around a striking turquoise vase filled with lily-of-the-valley, their delicate white bells rising in elegant contrast against a backdrop of bold modernist colour blocks. Arranged on a vivid red tabletop, four stylised green pears add balance and rhythm.

The interior behind the arrangement is rendered through geometric planes of earthy brown, charcoal, plum, and cerulean blue, evoking walls, textiles, and an arched doorway while maintaining a flattened, abstract sensibility.

Executed in tempera, the work exhibits smooth, matte surfaces with crisp, clean edges. The artist embraces a distinctly modernist, slightly naïve style: simplifying forms, minimising perspective, and emphasising bold, graphic colour fields. The brushwork is controlled and even, lending a refined clarity to each element within the composition.

This tempera on board is presented in an ornate, richly detailed gilt frame that elevates the work with a sense of classical elegance. The artwork is further enhanced by a deep burgundy velvet mount, which provides a luxurious contrast and subtly intensifies the colours within the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has tiny areas of wear the corners, consistent with age.

Patterns of a Summer Afternoon
£815
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and playful abstracted mid-century still life that transforms everyday objects into rhythmic shapes and patterns, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

At the heart of the composition appears a wide-brimmed box beside a compact dish, set against a fragmented tabletop filled with textiles and geometric designs. The artist plays with perspective, flattening and tilting planes to create a patchwork of dynamic, interlocking forms that pulse with colour and texture.

The painting exemplifies the modernist fascination with form and balance: where representation gives way to feeling. Its visual language recalls both cubist structure and the spontaneity of mid-century Scandinavian abstraction, with domestic motifs rendered through bold simplification.

A harmonious palette of yellows, teal, olive green, dusty pink, and cream is punctuated by rhythmic strokes of red and blue. The brushwork is confident yet playful: thick, directional strokes build texture and depth, while smoother planes of pastel create moments of calm. The artist’s handling of paint is distinctly expressive, leaving visible brush trails that add vibrancy and movement across the canvas.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has light scuffing to the lower half but is otherwise in good condition.

View Across the Lake
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and contemplative modernist style painting that captures the tranquil beauty of a lake as seen through an open window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1988.

The composition draws the viewer’s gaze outward – from the soft shadows of the window frame to the vivid expanse of blue water and rolling green hills beyond.

Executed in a modernist style, the artist has simplified the forms into broad, confident planes of colour, creating a rhythmic interplay between interior and exterior light. The palette is dominated by cool tones of azure, teal, and pale green, balanced by creamy whites and muted beiges that evoke the warmth of sunlit stone.

The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, laid down in short, directional strokes that convey texture and the quiet movement of light and air. This technique lends the work both structure and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary light wooden frame with a soft, natural finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 53.5 x 48.5 cm (including frame)
