A wonderfully rendered charming still life, painted in 1969. Petite pink flowers are placed in a glass, as it sits on top of a table, alongside an empty bowl and 2 fruits. The colour palette and style of the work is playful and cheery – a nod to sunny days and good times.
Soft and fine strokes have been used paint the overall work, but the sweeping brushstrokes used to paint the creases in the yellow table runner convey a sense of movement in the work.
This painting on board is in excellent vintage condition.
It comes with a uniquely decorated frame with hand moulding and a gold border, which pairs extremely well with painting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A well-executed and detailed oil on canvas of a vase of beautiful red flowers placed by a window pane.
The artist gives us a glimpse of the cold winter’s day outside, as we see a snow-filled ground through the clear glass window.
Very soft and painterly brushstrokes have been used to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work; yet the artist has skilfully managed to evoke a strong sense of three-dimensionality – from the drapes of the curtains, to the roundness of the vase, and curves of the leaves that have all been splendidly painted.
This artwork is housed in a thin cherry wood frame that complements the piece really well.
There is a straight vertical tear the right side of the painting (refer to photos) that has been closed with tape on the reverse (refer to photo). Otherwise the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An outstanding expressionist painting presenting a well decorated interior setting.
A wide array of warm and bold colours as well as short and lightly textured brushstrokes have been used to create this homely atmosphere.
The artist has creatively depicted a myriad of detail in this artwork – from the paintings hanging on a wall beside a bookshelf in the background, potted plants set on a window pane that overlook a garden filled with autumnal coloured trees, and most strikingly, the table in the foreground where a sewing activity was taking place, and a piece of fabric held down by a unique duck shaped planter.
The painting is housed in a complementary beige and brown frame. The painting is in good vintage condition, with a an area of surface paint loss. The rest of the paint area remains stable. The top left inner section of the frame also has a minor loss.

An endearing mid 20th century painting of an intimate and well-decorated home setting.
An elderly lady sits on a small bench preparing food, as she waits for the pot to heat up in the large fire stove beside her.
The plethora of colours used in this work is remarkable, as well as the intricate detailing of the objects lying around which include the flower pots by the window still, the white pitcher beyond the open door, as well as the pots and pans, and a colourful rug on the floor. The door that is ajar adds a sense of openness to this painting – we feel welcomed into the space, without feeling trapped or enclosed.
It comes with a unique dark wood frame with evenly spaced divots, outlining the painting beautifully.
The canvas appears to have been previously removed from a backing or stretchers and re-laid on to board, fixed down with staples. Puncture marks from the previous framing method are visible around the outer edges of the canvas, as shown. The painting itself is in excellent condition with no paint loss, and so is the frame that it is housed in.

A delicate oil depicting two female figures warming up in their dance studio. The composition of the painting is wonderfully balanced, and its palette features soft tones and creamy textures.

A beautiful and serene 20th century still life that displays a glimpse of a well-decorated home setting.
Jasmines are depicted in full bloom and growing out from a copper flower pot that has been placed at a corner of a living room. The artist has skillfully captured the reflection of this pot cast against the flooring, as well as the shadows of the flowers that have been cast on the wall
One is able to get a sense of the style of this home setting – as we see the light floral patterned curtains, and the colourful rug near it.
The artist has used fine and soft brushstrokes to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work; and the earthy colour palette gives a soothing feel.
The painting is surrounded by a dark wooden frame with an inner gold window which suits it perfectly.
It is in excellent vintage condition.

One of the most elegant pieces in our collection yet, this beautiful oil depicts a collection of intricately painted objects on what is most likely a lady’s dresser. It is painted such that the viewer is herself sitting at this very table, just about to catch herself in the reflection of the mirror.
A lady’s dresser is more than just a place to beautify oneself – it is a private space where she can take a moment to pause, reflect and unwind. Her collection of precious sentimental objects lay neatly before her, reminders of bygone days.
The mirror in the painting captures the reflection of the objects on the table, but stops short at the point where we would see our own reflection – a seemingly simple yet rather effective angle chosen by the artist.
Painted by Britt Bräckis Rosén, the oil painting is housed in a tasteful thin rounded gold frame. It is in excellent vintage condition with only some very minor scuffing to the frame.

A beautiful and well-balanced still life that captured our hearts upon first sight.
Presented atop a table draped with a cloth is a well-decorated pitcher filled with red tulips and pussy willows, surrounded by 7 oranges and a small green bowl.
Very soft and precise brushstrokes have been used to create a delicate and realistic effect to the work, and there is calm fluency from one subject to the next.
The artist has wonderfully managed to capture the creases and folds in the table cloth, and the great play of colours and reflective shadowy effects in the oranges and flowers create a sense of three dimensionality in the work.
There is a strong focus of attention on the objects as its bold colours stand out in contrast to the background painted in beige with light pink undertones.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It comes well-presented in a thick gilt frame that has areas of paint loss.

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)

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.

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.

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

An excellent mid 20th century still life that is so vibrant. Placed atop a table is a pot of white flowers in full bloom surrounded by other objects, and a curtain in a striking blue is hanging from behind.
Fast and swift brushstrokes dominate the painting, as its rendered in an impressionist style; and the colour palette of the work bears such elegance with its blues and whites and the silver of the 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.

A simply calm and charming still life.
Laid out on a tabletop is a yellow earthen clay water jug, a copper kettle, a glass water bottle, 3 fruits, a slice of bread, and a teacup filled with tea and placed on a saucer.
Fine and detailed brushstrokes have been used to paint the objects so meticulously; and despite being laid out so smoothly on the canvas, one is still able to get a sense of the roundness and three dimensionality of the objects.
The objects are placed against a monochrome grey background that further enhances their colours, allowing it to stand out more.
The painting is housed in a robust frame, and is in excellent vintage condition. There are scattered areas of paint loss to the edges of the frame, but the uniformity of the losses have made us think this could be intentional, giving the frame that vintage ‘distressed’ effect.

An energetic still life of a busy table top filled with 4 flower pots, paintbrushes, a pitcher and cups, peeled oranges and a bag.
The artwork is well executed with strong and confident brushstrokes; and the colours used are so vibrant and captivating, in particularly the pitcher painted in a beautiful shade of Azure blue.
As a viewer, one is left with a sense of wonder, as the artist has depicted an unexpected and diverse choice of objects that each have their own unique character, yet are united so harmoniously together.
This oil on board comes wonderfully presented in a well suited gilt frame, and is in excellent condition.

This captivating expressionist oil is a fine example of the work by established artist Nathan Gutman. We cannot hear the tune that the pianist plays, but swirls of colour mimic the melody as it dances through the air, treating us to a visual experience in place of what would have been an aural one. Bright colours and dynamic brushstrokes fill the painting with a youthful energy.
Born in 1914 in Poland and of Jewish descent, Nathan Gutman is a well established artist who exhibited widely throughout his life.
The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

A beautiful and serene still life that captured our hearts upon first sight.
Presented atop a mahogany wooden table is an arrangement of flowers in a vase, a sugar pot, and and 2 European vintage ceramic figurines of a boy and girl with animals around them.
What is so captivating about this work is that it has elements of both East and West – the artist has painted a dutch Delft blue and white chinoiserie porcelain vase that has some yellow overtones that further enhances its beauty.
The objects are set against a beautifully painted backdrop that picks up the colours of the flowers and the ornaments around it.
Very fine and soft brushstrokes have been used to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work, and there is great fluency from one subject to the next.
The artist has also skillfully captured the reflections of the objects cast against the wood grains of the table top.
Housed in its original frame, this is one of our larger artworks, and measures 88 x 69cm including the frame.

It is mid afternoon, the house is quiet, and the kitchen is in repose. The cook takes a moment to rest her tired legs and aching back. She knows it won’t be long before the afternoon passes and dinner preparations for the family need to get going.
Many of us can relate to this simple scene of taking a moment to pause, and feeling the relief of having some time to breathe, before the hustle has to begin again.
This wonderful Swedish painting with its stunning brushwork and pastel palette embodies such a lovely narrative.
It is in excellent vintage condition, and comes in its original and very complementary frame.
