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.

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.

Size: 67 x 58 cm (including frame)

A gentle and poetic mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet radiance, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene centres on a teal table, upon which rests a small earthen pot of pink flowers, bathed in a cascade of soft morning light filtering through tall windows. The painter transforms a humble domestic corner into a study of atmosphere: where form dissolves into light and shadow.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the artist has used delicate, feathery brushstrokes and thin layers of paint to build an airy, almost translucent composition. Muted mauves, lilacs, pale yellows, and soft greys create a dreamlike haze, while the turquoise of the table provides a striking counterpoint of solidity within the diffused glow. The brushwork is confident yet restrained – the marks suggesting more than defining, allowing the viewer’s imagination to fill in the forms.

The overall effect is one of serenity and light: a meditation on stillness and the subtle poetry of the everyday interior.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a rich and warm oak tone, and with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Size: 62 x 53.5 cm (including frame)

An elegant mid-century still life that captures a charming scene of three potted plants arranged along a windowsill and silhouetted against an exterior scene of houses, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1947.

The central cactus dominates the composition with its upright, almost sculptural form, flanked by 2 other leafy plants on its sides. Through the window, the viewer glimpses a townscape with brown and red buildings, softened by pale skies and winter-bare trees.

Painted in an expressive style, the work fuses still life with urban landscape. It is representational but simplified, with a strong emphasis on shape, form, and the interplay between interior and exterior space. The artist captures not just the plants themselves, but also the mood of the scene – a quiet, contemplative moment of domestic life through the use of earthy muted shades.

The brushwork is bold and textured, with a rough, impasto application that gives the surface a tactile quality. Forms are built up through broad, confident strokes, while details are pared back to essentials, creating a sense of rhythm and structure.

This oil on board is beautifully presented in a well-suited wooden frame with an inner gilt border. The work itself is in good vintage condition, with two small pin holes to the top section when inspected closely (one at the middle of the top edge and another near the blossoming tree) – which do not detract from its overall impression. The frame is also in good condition with minor surface wear.
