A lively and endearing large mid 20th century oil portrait of 2 children seated side by side, against a striking red background.
Blocks of rich and saturated colours in contrasting shades fill the canvas, to give rise to the various forms. The artist has used several layers of colour, and has skilfully revealed these layers beneath to add depth, texture, and interest.
The artist has depicted just the silhouettes of the children, using bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to create a portrait with a modernist ethos.
This oil on board is housed in a frame with a gilt front border and black edging. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs that don’t detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

A visually striking abstract watercolour, painted in 1963. The artist has used a myriad of deep, rich, warm colours to create this balanced composition, but has juxtaposed the variegated purple and red tones with pops of bright yellow.
The painting is housed in a white mount card and an elegant gilt frame. It is also glazed (there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the painting). The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs to its edges.

A gentle and tranquil modernist style oil painting of a scenic coastal scape – presenting a row of huts laid in between the vast sea and a lush forest.
Rhythmic and multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas; and there is a seamless transition of light texture from the left of the canvas to a smooth surface to paint the sky and sea on the right.
A light and soft colour palette with a touch of muted pastel tones have been used, instilling a sense of calm in the work. There is an outstanding play of colours where the artist has skilfully used contrasting shades to create depth and width in this panoramic painting.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a linen lining that has some minor scuffing to the corners and age toning to the fabric but otherwise is in good and stable condition overall.

A tranquil and panoramic lake scene, painted in oil onto board. Confident, expressive brushstrokes in rich colours have been applied to create this painting of a lake by a forest. The water lies still and calm, allowing the reflection of the trees to be cast beautifully on the waters, creating a symmetrical effect. The artist has used several layers of colour as well as areas of impasto (where the paint is thickly applied such that it stands proud from the surface) to create texture and depth.
The painting is housed in a simple white wooden frame, and is in very good vintage condition.

A vibrant and expressive mid century oil on board, painted in 1961. In the foreground the artist has used long thin strokes to depict a grassy landscape, which appears to have a lake. Beyond this, we see a row of houses and trees set under a light coloured sky. There is a wonderful dynamism to this painting, created through the use of energetic brushstrokes in bright, intense colours. The artist has skilfully used a myriad of layering techniques to give this panoramic panting depth and texture.
The painting is housed in its original wide profile mid century gilt frame, which has an inner hessian border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A captivating mid 20th century oil painting presenting an everyday scene of a lively neighbourhood in Majorna, Sweden.
Rows of houses are depicted in the background, as people fill the streets and indulge in various activities including socialising and cycling in the foreground.
Expressive and swift brushstrokes fill the canvas, that so wonderfully captures the essence of this town buzzing with energy.
The artist has also chosen a unique palette of sage green as the predominant colour, that further elevates the character of this town setting.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame that has some marks and scuffs, which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

A typically modernist mid century large abstract oil, painted onto board in 1960. The artist has created a completely abstract picture, playing with form, line, shape and colour. He has used a fairly restrained palette, working mostly in brown, black and white. This painting is very remiscnent of the works by British Modern St Ives artist Ben Nicholson, whose abstract drawings and paintings featured flat shapes and lines and an absence of ornament. Nicholson would also often use a razor blade to scrape back the paint so that the pictures look weather beaten and old, as if they have been eroded by time, much like the artist has done here in the white section of the painting, creating varied areas of both textured and flat surfaces.
The painting is housed in a simple but very well suited black slip. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

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 large and semi abstract mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1966.
We can be forgiven for not being able to see the subject pictured here as the artist has simplified the forms into flattened shapes so dramatically that the painting looks almost fully abstract at first glance. He has used large blocks of juxtaposing colour in a multi-directional, expressive style to create this lively composition. As our eyes begin to get accustomed to the view before us, a river bridge slowly begins to reveal itself. This transitional effect between abstraction and reality and vice versa makes this painting wonderfully interesting to look at, and encourages us to move between different viewing modes.
The painting is housed in a robust wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A lovely mid century oil painting depicting 2 figures, seemingly in conversation, in a quiet neighbourhood.
The painting has been executed in a semi-abstract manner through the use of visible and painterly multi-directional brushstrokes.
The artist has thoughtfully selected contrasting colour palettes – from light pastel shades in the foreground, to vibrant greens and blues in the background. This build up of colours balances the painting very well – instilling both a sense of calm as well as excitement.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a champagne coloured frame that has some slight scuffing, typical for its age.

Painted in 1951, this gorgeous oil depicts the landscape of the fishing village of Reine in Lofoten, Norway. Lofoten is known for its breath-taking scenery, which has been captured by the artist in a very personal way. Rather than a realistic depiction of the Arctic ocean and its peaks, the artist has brought into focus the colourful fishing sheds that contrast wonderfully against the snowy landscape. There is a wonderful playfulness to the palette, composition and brushstrokes, and the way in which the artist has abstracted the scenery.
This large painting is housed in its original mid century distressed light grey frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses to its edges, as shown in the photos, which are typical for its age.

An outstanding and lively mid century cityscape by a Mediterranean coast, painted in oil in 1964.
Lush tall palm trees and colourful buildings fill the streets, and the sun shines its rays on this scorching hot day.
This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.
Blocks of contrasting bold colours that harmonise well together have been used to give rise to the various forms, and we can feel the strong energetic vibe of this town from the sweeping and confidently executed brushstrokes.
This oil on board has some light surface scratches (close ups are included in the photos above) but is in good condition overall. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a an inner gilt window

A tranquil and visually pleasant semi-abstract landscape, executed in oil.
A mixture of contrasting muted earthy colours, as well as dynamic multidirectional brushstrokes not only create depth and width in this panoramic painting; but also instill a sense of calm, making it an easy piece to fit into many interior settings.
The oil on canvas is housed in its original linen lined wood frame, which suits its palette perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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 stunning winter landscape painted in subtle and mellow tones of brown, grey, and white, punctuated by two figures in the foreground. A simple yet captivating composition, made possible by the almost monochrome colour palette.
The figure on the left carries a pile of log in his arms, presumably retrieved from the shed he is walking out of, and a second figure next to him with her backs to us is about to do the same. They brave the stark, bitter cold (aptly conveyed by the colour palette that the artist has used) but we know they are soon to return home to a warm fire.
The panting is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner silver window that illuminates the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and striking mid century oil on canvas, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has intentionally focused on the harmony of colours as well as balancing shape and form, as opposed to any intricate details. The figures have been paired right down to simple shapes, as have the details of the landscape. There is a great sense of rhythm and balance in this picture. The large size and rich, vivid colour palette in textured brushstrokes would make this painting stand out in any interior.
The painting is housed in its original mid century hessian frame which suits it just wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some very light scuffing to the edges of the frame, which certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A subtle and soothing panoramic landscape, rendered in oil in 1964. Depicting vast open skies and rural land, the work has been executed in a semi-abstract manner with beautiful muted pastel colours.
Long, gentle and sweeping horizontal brushstrokes fill the canvas, enriching it as it overflows with softness and calm.
The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents by using contrasting planes of colours to demonstrate a sense of depth in the work.
This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame which complements it very well. There are small spots of surface discolouration to the right side of the painting (as seen in photos), but these are visible only upon close inspection and do not detract from the overall beauty of the piece. The frame has some minor scuffing but again this is typical for its age and if anything these imperfections add an overall charm to the piece.

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.
This large, expressive oil is housed in its original mid century wood frame with a fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and bold mid century abstract oil on canvas, painted in 1966. Distinct, expressionist brushstrokes have been used across this composition to create this lively and dynamic painting. The artist has played with a myriad of colours, abstracting what appears to be a cityscape down to contrasting colours in rectangular blocks. The top section of the canvas has a more restrained palette, with a blend of greys and greens, but the colours get increasingly rich as we move down from the canvas. In the middle section, we see the use of darker black outlines as well.
This abstract oil is housed in its original mid century wood frame with a linen lined border, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic large mid century Swedish oil on canvas, painted in 1957. The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, with the artist focusing on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space. A woman can be seen in the forefront with her washing tub, and behind her sit a geometric array of buildings. The artist has paid great attention to form, line and shape, and has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details.

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 beautiful mid century Swedish coastal landscape scene in oil, painted in 1944. The painting has a very calming colour palette, and is the perfect piece to rest our eyes on. Pastel blues, purples and yellows have been painted in with soft brush strokes, and the general scene is very visually pleasing. A group of figures, possibly fishermen, appear to be hanging out some materials to dry (nets perhaps), with a shed behind them and the sea beyond that. There is an overall softness to this painting, from the palette and brushwork, to the overall coastalscape scene.
The painting is also housed in a gorgeous sand coloured wood frame, with an inner gilt border that illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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 magnificent oil still life of well decorated table setting. Placed atop a green platform lies an assortment of objects ranging from a vase of beautiful sunflowers, 2 lemons, a pot filled with paintbrushes, a book, and a bottle.
Painted in a vibrant colour palette, the layering of contrasting colours blend so harmoniously and effortlessly. Another striking factor is the short and textured brushstrokes that have been confidently executed, imbuing the work with a sense of three dimensionality and distinct tactility.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed wooden frame with an outer gilt window. The frame has many areas of paint loss commensurate for its age (as shown in the pictures), but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

A bold and striking landscape view of Stockholm, painted in oil onto canvas. It is evident from the dynamism within the painting that the artist was very captivated by the landscape before him, expressing his own sensations through line and colour. The bold earthy tones of the houses and buildings communicates its physical man-made hardness against the softer, cooler palette of the river running through the city. An artwork like this one is distinctly reminiscent of the landscape paintings by the Modernist artist Paul Cézanne.
The painting is housed in an excellent distressed wood and gilt frame, which has a deep and robust profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very large, striking modernist Swedish artwork painted in oil onto canvas. A minimalist composition of trees on either side of a path forms this picture, painted in a very restrained palette. This piece is perhaps a preparatory study for a final painting – there is a distinct rawness to the almost monochrome palette, where paint has been applied very thinly to the canvas. Yet there remains a palpable beauty to this rawness – the distinct outlines and simplicity of the paint application allow us to focus our attention on the balance of the shapes and forms, including the way the branches of the trees weave in and out of each other, creating structure and pattern within the picture.
This original oil is housed in a beautiful distressed greenish-grey frame, which has a rough and unrefined look to it which we think suits the painting very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame is in a ‘distressed’ style and so has imperfections that are intentional. The frame is slightly big for the canvas and so there is a slight gap between the canvas and the frame but this gap is very minimal.

A large and picturesque oil painting on canvas, depicting country fields with haystacks. This textured and expressive painting has a wonderful vintage charm to it, and is reminiscent of works by the famous impressionist artist Claude Monet. The light of the sun is beautifully captured in this large oil, further accentuated by the yellow fields and the row of green trees in the background. Short and distinctive brushstrokes have created a wonderfully matte texture.
The painting is housed in a distressed grey frame which suits the painting and its textures perfectly, and adds to its vintage charm. The painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some scuffs and marks that are typical for a mid century painting.

An outstanding oil painting that explores the concepts of minimalism and abstraction.
The artwork depicts a group of sheep situated in between 2 large trees in an orangey yellow landscape setting, where all forms presented are spontaneously outlined in thin black lines.
Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its childlike simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non essentials – focusing our attention to the beautiful essence of colour as well as the qualities of lines that may come across as simplistic but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms.
This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame that complements the painting wonderfully. Both artwork and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

Lush flora is set amidst a row of houses, as a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in depicted coming down a pathway.
Short and broad painterly brushstrokes that have been applied in a confident manner fill the canvas; and the artist has executed the work in a bold yet muted earthy colour palette.
