A large and striking mid century still life, painted in oil in 1946. Rich saturated colours in deep tones fill the canvas, with pops of yellow, red and green that draw our attention in ever closer. There is a loose sense of time, with the shadows and darkened tones suggesting an evening light and the closing of the day. A couple of art catalogues sit casually next to a slender vase, beckoning us to take a seat and have a browse. A lone apple lays separately from its group, adding a bold lime green punctuation to the overall composition. Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist cleverly using colours and shapes to create depth and a sense of space. Bold lines, distinct and painterly brush marks, and juxtaposing colours make this painting a statement picture.
This oil is housed in its original mid century robust and heavy champagne gilt frame in a distressed style. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses to the inner slip and some general wear (as shown in the photos), but we think this adds to the overall charm of the piece.

A striking and well executed still life in oil, painted in 1969. The artist has used an intense palette of dark colours as well as bold, expressionist brushstrokes to create this striking still life composition. The darker palette imbues the painting with an almost melancholic vibe, in many way reminiscent of the sombre colours, flattened spaces and overall mood of the paintings of French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet, who was also painting around this time.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid century frame , with a gilt outer birder and an inner linen lined window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A stunning mid 20th century portrait of a well-attired woman dressed in green, peeling a basket of apples.
The artwork has been executed in such an invigorating and confident manner – with urgent, bold and distinct brushstrokes sweeping across the canvas to give rise to the various forms. The artist has also selected a lively colour palette, with varying shades of green and purple that harmonise and overlap so well together.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary pale yellow textured frame that adds to its character. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An interior scene painted in a muted and earthy palette, showing a shadowy interior with a group of figures painted in a modernist style. The artist has used the medium of tempera to paint this picture, which is the technique of painting with pigments bound in a water-soluble emulsion, such as water and egg yolk, or an oil-in-water emulsion such as oil and egg. Tempera dries to a hard, fairly translucent film, which in this case enables us to see the drawing beneath the painting, giving us a rare view of the artist’s workings.
The painting is very beautifully presented in a pine box frame, and is in good vintage condition. There are some minor surface paint losses to the right side but these do not detract from the overall charm of the picture.

A large, richly coloured, long still life in a unique mid century frame, measuring almost a metre in length. Striking vessels in emerald green, tangerine orange, and midnight blue sit amongst gem like apples. This still life features an intense and jewel like colour palette, creating a real sense of luminosity and three dimensionality within the painting and the depicted objects.
The painting is housed in a beautiful mid century textured white frame with an inner off white and dark grey border. The painting has some minor craquelure, which is typical for an oil of this age, but overall the paint layer is very stable. The frame has some minor scuffs to the inner border but is in good vintage condition overall.
Size: 42.5 x 97.5 cm (including frame)

A skilfully executed mid century Swedish still life painted in oil on to board. The artist has used a rich, earthy palette to create this still life composition, and has included areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud from the surface) which create texture. There is an element of mystery to this picture, as not all the objects are discernible. The artist has used bold, distinct lines to create these shapes and forms and has focused on these formal elements as opposed to trying to paint a realistic still life picture.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which is very unique. It has an off white, ridged outer border, followed by a grey fabric lined window and then a silver inner window. The silver window has some minor scuffing typical for a painting of this age. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

Through the use of textured and painterly brushstrokes, the painting has a great tactility.

A very large and vivid mid century kitchen interior scene, painted in oil onto board. The artist has used large, expressive brushstrokes in this painting, adding lots of texture and movement. The scene that the artist has chosen to paint is a heart-warming, and homely one – I’m sure many of us have memories of our mothers or grandmothers busily cooking away at the stove, preparing meals for us that we can still remember the distinct taste of.

An excellent mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1959. Depicting a woman seated on a chair surrounded by objects including a jug, this painting has been executed in a semi-abstract style with cubist influences.
Thoughtful and elegant brushstrokes with subtle blending, as well as a muted earthy colour palette of blues, browns and beige fill the canvas. The artist has skilfully abstracted down this scene through the use of contrasting blocks of colours that not only harmonise well together to give rise to the various forms, but to also demonstrate a strong sense of depth in this painting.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is framed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lined border.

A really stunning mid century Swedish still life in oil, painted in 1944. This bright and cheery picture has been painted in an expressionist manner, with lively and distinct brushstrokes in a beautiful harmony of colours. The tall vase of pink florals capture our initial attention, and as our eyes move downwards we begin to notice the gorgeous set of apples in the lower half of the picture. The artist has chosen to paint these in ‘post impressionist’ style, choosing non naturalistic colours which really make them stand out. The colourful flowers and apples have been set against a pastel blue and purple background, which really pulls the whole still life composition together.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous distressed sand coloured distressed wood frame with an inner white border, which matches the character and style of the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A richly textured floral painting in oil featuring a warm, earthy palette. It depicts a tall vintage vase with purple tulips and other lilac and white flowers standing on a window sill. The artist has chosen to use a painterly, modernist style to compose this image – using thick, distinct layers of paint and expressive brushstrokes. The painting has several areas of impasto (areas where the paint has been applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) which give this painting a wonderful tactility.
The painting is set within a decorative wood frame that has been painted and distressed in white, adding a uniqueness to the painting. The frame and painting have been fixed onto board, which can be seen on the reverse (refer to photos). Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully painted modernist composition of a female nude figure, skilfully executed in oil in 1942. The model is portrayed in a home setting, seated on a bench against a sanguine and green background. With her gaze facing away from the viewer, she is unaware and caught up in her own thoughts.
Expressive and swift brushstrokes have been executed in a confident manner. The artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours, and also of the human body. Not only has he captured the curves of her anatomy wonderfully, but has also mixed and layered the various earthy tones to render the complex nature of skin perfectly and with great emotion.
This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame lined with linen and an inner white border. The mid century frame has signs of ageing that are typical for its age, but these imperfections add to the charm of the piece.

A charming modernist painting in oil of a figure by a table. The artist has used large, flat planes of colour to create this composition. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and focus has instead been paid attention to form, shape and colour. Interestingly, the artist has chosen to paint the tulips in a much more realistic manner, creating a distinct contrast and pop of colour against the rest of the more angular, flat composition.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous dark wood and gilt frame, with an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A bold and striking still life that displays confidence in both colour and brushstrokes.
A white jug is placed amongst apples on a table top, and is set against an eye-catching background painted in a mix of blues including turquoise and cerulean blue. The overall colours used in this painting are very uplifting, and can brighten one’s home and mood.
Executed in oil pastel, and the artist has embraced various techniques of mixing, smudging and blending the colours with speed and vigour.
This artwork in particular is reminiscent of still life scenes of fruits from Paul Cezanne.
There is a fold that runs through the middle of this artwork on paper (as shown), which although visible, adds an ‘expressiveness’ to the work which is in line with the almost naïve style that the artist has used.
It is housed in a white card mount and a unique blue and pewter frame; and comes glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the artwork).

A delicate oil still life depicting an arrangement of roses in a vase, placed atop a table.
The artist has chosen not to paint the artwork as it appears in its natural colours; and has instead executed it in a unique colour palette choice predominately filled with shades of icy blues and touches of mustard yellow and white.
The painting has a beautiful texture, filled with creamy and smooth paint, and areas of impasto. The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame that has some minor scuffs which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

A quaint and lovely Swedish mid century still life, painted in oil. Potted floral pots sit on a kitchen window sill, with a backdrop of a snowy street scape with a vivid red building. The artist alludes to the fact that it is warm and cosy inside by including the thermometer that sits on the right side, juxtaposing this against the cold landscape outside of the window. There is a distinct homeliness and cosiness to this painting, created by both the subject matter as well as the colour palette.
The painting is housed in a simple white grey frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A striking yet homely still life in oil, painted in a modernist manner. Bold and distinct brushstrokes, strong outlines and lots of texture make up this wonderful composition. Thick, creamy layers of oil paint have been applied generously by the artist, giving this painting a real tactility. There is a sense of harmony and balance within the picture – the triangular composition lead our eyes around the picture, each object worthy of attention, set against a rusty green background. The red apple to the bottom left of the flower pot adds a lovely punctuation to the overall picture.
The oil on board is in excellent condition. There are two small nicks to the frame (the top left and the far bottom right corner) but this is typical for an original frame of this age, and does not detract from the beauty of the piece.

This painting perfectly captures that moment we describe as ‘enjoying one’s own company’. We don’t see the sitter, as perhaps they have been called away, interrupted, but will return shortly to continue reading where they left off. This painting exudes charm and character, and is a reminder of the precious moments we allow ourselves in our busy lives, to have some time to relish peace and quiet, to read or write, and enjoy a period of calm.

A fantastic modernist still life rendered in oil in a cubist manner. Painted in 1962, the artist has used a vibrant palette and created areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) to create this striking composition. Distinct brushstrokes and bold outlines reminds us of a modernist ethos – the artist is experimenting with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction. The artist has moved away from traditional forms of perspective, and has used blocks and planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth within the picture.
The painting is housed a a very complementary wood frame with a painted white order. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A heartwarming scene of a grandfather playing an accordian to his granddaughter as she sits in front of him listening in awe. The artist’s of colours and his soft strokes lends a sense of warmth and tenderness.
Apart from the narrative, there is technical skill and expertise in the artist’s handling of brush and medium. Despite the use of heavy layers of paint, the artist has managed to capture the translucency and diaphanous quality of the light curtain that hangs from the window. He has also managed to tread a fine balance between quick expressionist strokes and areas of finer detailing

A rather unique oil painting on board of a group of figures who appear to be intrigued by something happening outside the window. The painting is framed in a gothic style arch-shaped frame, which mimics the arch window that the figures are peering out of.
This excitingly unique picture is certainly not something we come across everyday, and both the subject and style of frame peaked our curiosity when we came upon it.

A lively and dynamic artwork of an interior setting featuring an elderly couple sitting by a window and a young child.
It is a sunny day outside, and this little girl has come to surprise her grandparents living in the countryside with a visit. She has entered the living room in their cottage, and the air is filled with joy as they set sights on one another.
The house is well decorated with paintings hanging on the walls, some flowers in a vase placed atop a side table, and the floor is adorned with a colourful rug.
What is so captivating in this piece is the strong use of bold, distinct and linear brushstrokes, giving rise to the various forms in this picture.
This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Ake Wickström (b. 1927), who’s works are also displayed at Vikingsberg Museum, Helsingborg, and Broby Museum.
This mid 20th century oil painting is well preserved, and is in excellent vintage condition.
It comes with a brown wooden frame with gold trimmings that complements the artwork beautifully.
