A Gentle Path
£395
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a winding path as it cuts through softly rolling fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

Small yet impactful, the composition is calm and inviting, with the path acting as a quiet guide through the scene, drawing the eye into a softly rendered horizon.

The trees, though delicately understated, are rendered in a hazy, atmospheric manner that allows their forms to dissolve slightly into the surrounding landscape. This subtle treatment gives the impression of early morning mist or diffused evening light, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood.

Executed in a semi-impressionistic style, the artist balances structure with looseness. The foreground is built with expressive, textured brushstrokes that suggest grasses and earth, while the midground and background soften into more blended, almost dreamlike passages. This contrast creates a gentle depth without disrupting the overall stillness.

The palette is muted and harmonious, featuring soft greens, mossy undertones, warm ochres, and pale neutrals, with cooler grey-blues subtly woven throughout. The sky is light and diffused, lending a quiet luminosity that bathes the landscape in a gentle glow.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple yet elegant silver-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Quiet Mooring
£755
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A calm mid-century coastal painting that captures a tranquil moment along the sunlit shores of Spain’s Costa Brava, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

At its centre rests a modest wooden boat, gently anchored in still, shallow waters, its form simplified yet full of quiet presence. The surrounding landscape is reduced to broad planes—suggesting sand, sea, and distant shoreline – imbuing the scene with a sense of calm, timeless pause.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition leans into minimalism and balance. Perspective is subtly flattened, with forms outlined softly rather than defined through strict realism, allowing the viewer to focus on mood over detail. There is a quiet intimacy to the piece, as though capturing a fleeting, solitary moment by the coast.

The colour palette is warm and harmonious: muted tan, sandy beiges, and soft terracotta tones dominate the boat, while gentle and pale blues evoke the Mediterranean waters and sky. These tones are slightly desaturated, lending the work a sun-faded, nostalgic quality.

Brushstrokes are loose and expressive yet controlled, with visible texture adding depth without overwhelming the simplicity of the composition. The paint is applied in soft, layered passages, allowing subtle tonal variations to emerge and giving the surface a quietly tactile quality.

This oil on board is presented in a wood frame that is finished in a warm, muted gold tone with soft patina, it carries a slightly aged character that enhances the painting’s nostalgic feel. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

Where Houses Gather
£825
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century composition that depicts a cluster of closely nestled houses as their angular rooftops form a rhythmic patchwork against a soft open sky, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Wilhelm Wik (1897-1987), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, to name a few.

The scene appears gently elevated, allowing the viewer to look across the rooftops toward a calm, pale horizon. A small domed structure rises subtly among the buildings, adding a sense of place and quiet architectural character.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and flattened perspective. The houses are reduced to bold geometric shapes, outlined with confident, dark lines that lend structure and clarity to the composition. There is a deliberate absence of fine detail, allowing the interplay of shape and colour to take centre stage.

The colour palette is warm yet restrained: soft creams and sandy tones form the buildings, while pops of terracotta and burnt orange on the rooftops introduce gentle contrast. These are balanced by deep, expressive greens in the foreground foliage, painted in loose, gestural strokes that bring movement and texture to the lower edge of the scene. The sky is rendered in a calm, neutral wash, enhancing the overall sense of stillness and light.

Brushwork varies across the surface: the architecture is treated with flatter, more controlled applications of paint, while the greenery is handled with thicker, more fluid strokes, creating a pleasing tension between order and spontaneity.

This oil on board is presented in a characterful wooden frame which features a rustic wood finish with visible grain and a stepped gilt inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some paint loss to the gilded section of the frame, consistent with age, however this does not detract from its overall appearance or charm.

Agnes
£625
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A thoughtful mid-century figurative portrait that captures a female figure in a moment of inward reflection, executed in oil onto canvas.

Positioned slightly off-centre, she gazes softly away from the viewer, her expression calm yet contemplative. There is a sense of emotional distance – she feels present, but absorbed in her own interior world. The simplicity of her attire and the absence of narrative detail draw attention to her face and psychological presence, making the portrait feel intimate and introspective rather than formal.

Executed in a loose, painterly mid-century style, the work leans toward modernist portraiture with subtle expressionist undertones. The artist prioritises mood and character over strict realism, allowing forms to soften and dissolve at the edges. There’s a gentle flattening of space, with the background treated as an atmospheric field rather than a defined setting, enhancing the subject’s quiet isolation.

A muted, harmonious palette dominates the composition – soft sage greens, warm beiges, and gentle creams create a subdued backdrop. The skin tones are delicately layered with hints of pink and grey, lending the face a lived-in softness. A subtle red accent along the neckline introduces a quiet point of contrast, drawing the eye without disrupting the overall calm.

The brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible, layered strokes that give the surface a tactile quality. The face is built up with short, blended strokes, creating a soft modelling of light and form, while the background is more gestural, with broader, sweeping applications of paint. This contrast between controlled and freer brushwork adds depth and reinforces the emotional tone – grounded yet quietly unsettled.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary silver frame. The painting has some small areas of surface paint loss as shown in the photos. The frame has some minor losses and scuffs but is very stable overall.

Old Town Reverie
£475
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A contemplative and nostalgic 20th century street scene composition that captures a quiet yet animated urban square, where figures drift through a softened architectural landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

Tall, weathered buildings rise in layered formation, their facades dissolving into one another. In the foreground, loosely rendered figures – some in conversation, others moving independently – animate the space with a gentle rhythm, giving the composition a sense of everyday life observed from a distance.

The style leans toward a semi-abstract impressionism, where structure and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The artist has employed a restrained palette of light yellows, muted creams, soft greys, and earthy browns, punctuated by occasional darker accents in the figures. These tones create a hazy, almost nostalgic ambiance, as if the scene is filtered through memory or mist.

Brushwork is expressive and fluid, with vertical strokes elongating the buildings and lending them a sense of quiet monumentality. The figures are sketched with minimal, gestural marks – suggestive rather than defined – allowing the viewer to interpret their presence and movement. Areas of paint appear scraped back or layered thinly, adding texture and depth, while softer washes create an atmospheric, almost ethereal ground.

Overall, the painting balances structure and abstraction beautifully, offering a poetic interpretation of urban life – less about a specific place, and more about the feeling of being within it.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame that features a gently stepped profile with soft ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 79 x 66.5 cm (including frame)

Alligator
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The composition presents an alligator in profile, moving steadily across a simplified, earthy landscape. Set against a soft, pale blue sky, the elongated form stretches across the board, its open mouth revealing a subtle flash of teeth, adding a quiet sense of movement and character.

Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The alligator is defined by clean outlines and slightly exaggerated proportions, with depth suggested through horizontal bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

The palette is muted and natural. Deep green tones of the alligator contrast gently with the warm sandy browns of the terrain landscape, while the pale sky provides a calm, airy backdrop. Small accents of pale pink within the mouth add a touch of visual interest.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that emphasises form over texture. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, capturing the quiet charm of the naïve aesthetic with a grounded, understated presence.

This oil on board is housed in a warm brown painted wooden frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion
£580
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet captivating mid-century abstract triptych that evokes the quiet power and rhythm of water in motion, executed in oil onto canvas.

Across the three panels, fluid, sculptural forms emerge and dissolve – suggesting cresting waves, shifting currents, or even fleeting natural phenomena captured mid-transformation. Each composition feels both connected and self-contained, inviting the viewer to move from one moment of motion to the next.

Rendered in a restrained, atmospheric palette of soft greys, silvery whites, and muted blue undertones, the works exude a sense of calm and introspection. Subtle tonal gradations in the background create depth and horizon-like expanses, while the central forms introduce tension and movement.

The artist’s use of thick, impasto brushwork is particularly compelling – paint is applied with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, creating ridges and folds that catch the light. These gestural strokes give the impression of energy frozen in time, with each mark feeling deliberate yet instinctive. The contrast between the smooth, blended grounds and the dynamic, textural forms enhances the sense of movement across the series.

Together, the three paintings form a cohesive visual narrative – an exploration of flow, balance, and the ephemeral beauty of natural forces – making this a captivating and contemplative set that rewards close viewing.

These 3 oils are each housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame. The paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have some light scuffing present.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The composition presents a solitary elephant in profile, standing quietly within a softly rolling landscape. Set against a pale, muted sky, the figure rests upon gentle green hills, evoking a calm and grounded presence.

Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The elephant is defined by clean outlines and slightly softened proportions, with depth suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

The palette is subtle and harmonious. Cool grey tones of the elephant’s body are set against soft green hues of the hills, creating a gentle contrast. A small accent of soft pink at the mouth adds a quiet point of warmth.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that emphasises form over texture. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, capturing the quiet charm of the naïve aesthetic with a serene, contemplative presence.

Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The leopard is defined by clean outlines and slightly exaggerated proportions, while depth is suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

A Gathering Across Planes
£910
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century composition that presents a rhythmic display of abstracted figures moving through a fractured, almost mosaic-like landscape, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Gunnar Greiber (1919 – 2011), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet, Västerås Art Museum, Sundsvall Museum, Östersund Museum, Hudiksvall Museum, as well as the Hälsingland Museum.

Slender, linear forms – rendered in vivid red- suggest human silhouettes, gathering across a dense field of angular shapes. These figures feel both primitive and modern, evoking a sense of movement and quiet connectivity within an otherwise chaotic environment.

Stylistically, the painting leans into mid-century abstraction with strong influences of cubism and figurative modernism. The scene is constructed from interlocking geometric planes, compressing depth and perspective into a flattened, dynamic surface. The figures are reduced to essential lines and nodes, almost symbolic in nature, contrasting sharply with the weightier, block-like forms that surround them.

The colour palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds, burgundy, plum, and umber, interspersed with cooler passages of slate blue, charcoal, and muted lavender. Occasional accents of green and pale cream provide visual relief, while the recurring red linear figures create a unifying thread across the composition.

Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Paint is applied in thick, deliberate patches, giving each geometric fragment a tactile presence. The interplay between matte and slightly more saturated passages enhances the sense of depth, despite the overall flattened structure. The result is a compelling balance between order and spontaneity – an intricate visual rhythm that invites the eye to wander and discover new relationships within the composition.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant wood frame with a linen-lined outer border and an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

Blossoms Over the Bay
£1,055
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A vibrant and lively mid century painting of a coastal village, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

The composition unfolds beneath an arch of oversized, blooming flowers, as though nature itself is framing the scene. Bright red houses cluster along a winding path that leads toward a small harbour, where boats rest gently at the shoreline. Figures move through the landscape, adding a quiet sense of daily life. The perspective feels intentionally playful, with scale shifting between foreground flora and the distant village, creating a dreamlike, almost storybook composition.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern, naïve style, the painting embraces simplified forms and a flattened perspective. There is a joyful, almost childlike immediacy in the way elements are arranged – bold outlines, decorative repetition, and a disregard for strict realism. The composition feels both spontaneous and carefully balanced.

The palette is vivid and uplifting. Bright reds dominate the houses and flowers, contrasted by fresh greens in the stems and landscape. The sky and water are rendered in soft, airy blues, while touches of yellow in the path bring warmth and movement through the composition. White accents in the flowers and shoreline add lightness and visual rhythm, preventing the bold colours from overwhelming the scene.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible, confident strokes that give the surface a lively texture. Paint is applied in a slightly impasto manner, particularly in the floral elements, where strokes feel rhythmic and almost decorative. Outlines are loose yet deliberate, enhancing the graphic quality while preserving a sense of spontaneity. The overall handling feels intuitive – celebrating colour and form over precision – imbuing the painting with warmth and charm.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with a stepped, ridged profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Elephant
£465
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking 20th-century elephant in bronze, distilled down to its most essential shape and volume.

The bronze has a rich, dark patina with subtle variations of warm browns, deeper oxidised tones, and faint highlights where light catches the curved surfaces. The finish is softly polished but retains slight irregularities, giving it a tactile, hand-worked presence.

Despite its compact size, the sculpture feels monumental. Its low centre of gravity and broad stance anchor it firmly. The contrast between solid mass and open voids creates a dynamic balance: heavy yet airy, grounded yet fluid.

The sculpture is in good vintage condition, with some light marks commensurate with its age. Please note that it is rather heavy.

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.

White Roses
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century modernist still life 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 captures a loose arrangement of white roses placed across a richly coloured tabletop and echoed in a tall cobalt-blue jug. The layered planes of colour – suggesting a tablecloth, interior wall, and surface – form a structured yet playful setting. The roses feel freshly placed, lending the scene an air of immediacy and intimacy.

The painting is executed in a bold modernist style, characterised by flattened perspective and simplified, almost abstracted forms. Rather than striving for realism, the artist emphasises composition and colour relationships. A vivid palette dominates: saturated reds and oranges energise the foreground, contrasted with deep greens, cool blues, and teal tones. The white roses, tinged with warm yellows, act as luminous focal points, softening the intensity of the surrounding colours.

Brushwork is confident and expressive. The roses are rendered with dynamic and painterly strokes, giving their petals a tactile quality. In contrast, the surrounding surfaces are built up with broader, flatter applications of paint, creating a balance between texture and structure. Edges remain intentionally loose, reinforcing the painting’s spontaneous, lively character.

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

A Moment Between Thoughts
£695
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed mid-century abstract figurative painting that presents a seated female form, distilled into a series of softly interlocking shapes, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

The figure is poised yet introspective, her posture relaxed with one arm resting gently and the other drawn inward, suggesting a moment of stillness rather than performance. There is an intimacy to the composition: the subject feels both present and slightly withdrawn, as though caught between thought and repose.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist reduces anatomical detail in favour of structure and tonal harmony. The figure is constructed through broad, simplified planes rather than defined lines, allowing the body to emerge through subtle shifts in colour and form. This approach reflects a quiet confidence: less concerned with realism, and more with capturing essence and mood.

The palette is beautifully muted and earthy, composed of soft greys, warm taupes, olive greens, and dusty blush tones. These colours blend seamlessly into one another, creating a gentle rhythm across the canvas. Occasional deeper accents – charcoal and moss – anchor the composition, giving it depth without disrupting its calm atmosphere.

Brushwork is expressive yet controlled. The paint is applied in confident, painterly strokes, with visible edges that create a patchwork of colour fields. There is a softness to the transitions, but also a deliberate rawness where forms meet, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The overall effect is one of sophistication: a contemplative study of form, light, and presence.

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

Quiet Fields
£535
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A calm mid-century composition that presents a serene, pared-back landscape where open fields stretch toward a low horizon line punctuated by a small cluster of distant farm buildings, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

A solitary structure – possibly a barn or haystack – anchors the composition, subtly drawing the eye while preserving the painting’s overall sense of stillness and space. The foreground is rendered in darker, earthy tones, gradually giving way to lighter, muted fields that lead into an expansive, softly washed sky.

Stylistically, the work leans toward minimalism and tonal abstraction, characteristic of mid-century landscape painting. The artist has simplified forms and reduces detail, allowing atmosphere and composition to take precedence over realism. There is a quiet balance between geometry and softness – the fields are divided into gentle planes, yet edges remain blurred and understated.

The colour palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by cool, pale blues in the sky and warm, sandy beiges and greys across the land. Subtle transitions between tones create depth without sharp contrast, evoking a calm, almost contemplative mood.

Brushstrokes are loose and have been applied with a light, confident touch. The paint is thinly layered in areas, allowing underlying tones to breathe through, while slightly thicker applications in the foreground add weight and texture. The overall handling feels intuitive and unforced, enhancing the painting’s quiet, meditative quality.

This oil on board is housed a beautiful wood frame with a layered profile and an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks.

Autumn Reflections
£575
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil lakeside scene at the height of autumn, executed in oil onto canvas.

Slender birch trees rise in the foreground, their pale trunks acting as a vertical counterpoint to the soft, undulating forms of cottages and foliage beyond. Across the still water, a cluster of rustic buildings with pitched roofs nestle into a hillside, partially obscured by sweeping, golden canopies of trees. The lake mirrors the scene with gentle distortion, drawing the eye into a quiet, reflective atmosphere.

Executed in a loose, expressive style, the painting embraces painterly abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The artist has used confident, gestural brushstrokes – often thick and directional – to suggest form rather than define it precisely. Areas of impasto add texture, particularly in the foliage and along the water’s edge, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality.

The colour palette is warm and harmonious, dominated by yellows, muted greens, and earthy browns, contrasted with cooler greys and soft blues in the water and sky. Subtle accents of red and deeper green punctuate the composition, adding depth and rhythm. The interplay of colour and reflection enhances the sense of calm, while the energetic handling of paint keeps the scene lively and immediate.

Overall, the work beautifully balances structure and spontaneity – an intimate, atmospheric snapshot of nature interpreted through a distinctly mid-century modern lens.

This oil on canvas is housed a characterful wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Blue Divide
£730
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric 20th century abstract landscape scene that distils nature into its most elemental forms – sky, land, and light – rendered through a restrained yet deeply expressive lens, executed in oil onto board and dated 1973.

A vast, luminous sky in soft, powdery blues stretches across the upper plane, subtly shifting in tone with gentle cloud-like variations. Beneath it, a stark horizon line divides the composition, grounding the scene with a band of deep, inky blues and near-black tones that suggest either a distant sea or an expansive field at dusk.

The foreground is richly atmospheric, built up with layered, gestural applications of paint. Dark teal, indigo, and earthy umber tones merge and dissolve into one another, evoking a sense of depth and quiet movement. A striking passage of pale, almost luminescent white and aqua near the right side hints at reflected light – perhaps water catching the last glimmer of day – adding a moment of contrast and visual intrigue.

Stylistically, the work leans toward abstraction while retaining a strong sense of landscape. The artist has employed broad, confident brushstrokes alongside areas of scraping and reworking, allowing underlying layers to emerge. This interplay of opacity and translucency gives the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality.

Overall, the piece carries a contemplative stillness – an understated yet powerful meditation on horizon, light, and space.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some areas of paint loss, consistent with age.

Coastal Curve
£750
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and uplifting mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

The painting captures a sweeping coastal road as it bends gently toward the sea. Modernist in its ethos, the composition is defined by its bold simplification of form – trees, path, and shoreline reduced to expressive, geometric shapes in contrasting colour.

The brushwork is confident and flat, with areas of solid colour laid down in deliberate blocks, creating a sense of stylised stillness. Trees appear as abstracted vertical forms, their trunks and canopies subtly suggested rather than rendered in detail.

Muted tones of green, grey, and earthy taupe dominate the land, while the sea is rendered in serene blues punctuated by white sails, adding rhythm and motion to the horizon. The sky, a dusty olive-grey, creates a harmonious counterbalance to the grounded palette below.

This oil on board is housed in very well suited wood frame. there is some wear on the left edge of the painting where it meets the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has very minor scuffing.

Head Study
£380
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A 1999 earthenware sculpture that presents an arresting head study, imbued with a raw, almost archaeological presence. The figure is elongated through the neck, giving it a slightly stylised, contemplative posture, somewhere between portrait and abstraction.

The surface is richly textured, bearing the marks of the artist’s hand. Rough, uneven patches and subtle pitting create a sense of age and weathering, as though the piece has been unearthed rather than made. The warm, earthy tones (burnt sienna, clay red, and soft ochre) shift gently across the form, catching light in a way that emphasises its tactile quality.

Facial features are simplified but expressive. The eyes are gently hollowed, the nose softly defined, and the mouth sits in a neutral, almost introspective line. Nothing is overly detailed, yet it is deeply evocative through characteristics of the clay.

The sculpture is in good vintage condition. Please note that it is rather heavy.

Height: 30 cm
Width: 21 cm
Depth: 15 cm

Houses by the Canal
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century painting that captures a tranquil waterfront scene, where a row of softly rendered houses sits just beyond a calm canal, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, three small boats rest on reflective water, their curved forms echoing a sense of stillness and ease. The composition draws the eye horizontally, from the grounded solidity of the boats to the lively rhythm of the houses and trees behind them.

The style is distinctly modernist, with a loose, expressive approach that favours atmosphere over precision. The buildings are simplified into geometric forms, their facades painted in warm, sunlit tones contrasted by deeper greens of foliage and the muted blues of rooftops. The palette feels both playful and harmonious, with subtle tonal shifts that suggest changing light across the scene.

Brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible, fluid strokes that lend movement to the trees and water. The reflections in the canal are especially evocative – softly blurred and layered, creating a sense of depth without strict realism. Overall, the piece carries a gentle, nostalgic quality, evoking a quiet moment in a coastal village, where time feels slowed and the everyday becomes quietly beautiful.

This oil on board is housed in an elegant wood frame whereby the outer section is finished in a muted cream with subtle silver accents along the inner edges, and with an inner linen-textured mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Space Between
£640
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A 21st-century minimalist abstract painting that explores the interplay between negative space and geometric form with meditative clarity, executed in oil on canvas.

Dominated by a large, white shape that stretches vertically across the canvas, the composition is framed by two symmetrical bands of muted green on either side. These green sections are not sharply delineated but instead curve inward with organic fluidity, forming the edges of the central void.

Executed in a minimalist style, the work bears no visible brushstrokes, suggesting the use of masking techniques or flat application of paint to achieve a crisp, graphic finish. The simplicity of the colour palette – clean white and a subdued forest green – lends a serene, contemplative tone, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tension between form and emptiness, presence and absence. A subtle nod to mid-century minimalism, this piece balances structure and softness with elegant restraint.

This work appeals emotionally through its stillness and subtle rhythm, and intellectually through its form-driven abstraction—a reminder that art doesn’t need to explain itself to be deeply affecting.

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

Size: 83 x 83 cm (including frame)

The Matador’s Moment
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century figurative painting that captures a matador poised mid-stance, exuding quiet confidence and theatrical presence, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The figure stands firmly with hands on hips, one leg slightly forward, as if caught in a moment between movement and stillness. The iconic red muleta drapes boldly to one side, immediately anchoring the composition and evoking the drama of the bullring. The background is minimal and abstracted, allowing the viewer’s attention to remain entirely on the commanding silhouette and gesture of the subject.

Executed in an expressive style, the figure is rendered with abstraction and reduction rather than fine detail. The anatomy is simplified into angular, geometric forms, lending the composition a sculptural quality. There is a strong emphasis on form, posture, and mood over realism.

The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by browns and burnt oranges. These tones are contrasted with deep blacks and punctuated by flashes of vivid red in the cape, which serves as the focal point. Highlights of yellow and white are applied sparingly but effectively, creating a sense of light catching on the costume and adding depth to the otherwise flattened space. The background’s muted light shade further enhances the intensity of the foreground colours.

The brushwork is energetic and textural, with visible, layered strokes that add movement and vitality to the piece. Dry-brush techniques and scraped applications create a sense of abrasion and depth, particularly across the matador’s jacket where flecks of yellow and white suggest embroidery and light reflection. The paint appears deliberately worked and reworked, giving the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality that enhances its expressive character.

This oil on board is housed in a gilt frame which features gently stepped mouldings that create depth without overwhelming the artwork. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Moonrise with Yellow Cup
£985
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

A solitary figure stands silhouetted against a dusky ochre sky, bathed in the stillness of twilight. A full, pale moon hangs suspended in the background, casting a quiet presence over a geometric urban landscape rendered in rich, earthen browns and shadowy forms.

The central figure, wears a softly patterned yellow garment that glows against the muted backdrop. Her jet-black hair is stark and angular, echoing the blocky architecture behind her. A small yellow cup, almost symbolic, rests at the bottom edge – a tender detail that anchors the composition with quiet intimacy.

Executed in a restrained palette of warm browns, creams, ochres, and charcoal, the painting features smooth, matte brushwork and soft, flat colour fields, characteristic of post-war European modernism. The artist’s style is contemplative and distilled, evoking introspection and a serene, poetic stillness.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited silver frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Woodland Rhythm
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A dynamic mid-century artwork that can be read as an abstracted woodland scene, where slender tree trunks and clustered canopies are distilled into rhythmic, angular forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

The vertical lines suggest trunks or branches, while the overlapping triangular and faceted shapes evoke dense foliage catching light at different angles. Rather than a literal forest, it feels like a memory or impression of one – fragmented, layered, and alive with quiet movement.

The style leans into geometric abstraction with strong cubist influence, where natural forms are broken down into interlocking planes. The composition feels almost musical in its repetition – trees rising and overlapping, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. There’s a balance between structure and spontaneity, as the eye moves through the clustered forms like walking through a stylised grove.

The palette is rich yet earthy: dominated by browns, mustard yellows, olive greens, and warm rust tones that suggest autumnal foliage or filtered forest light. Darker browns and charcoal lines anchor the composition, acting as trunks or branches that give structure to the scene.

Brushwork remains controlled and deliberate, with paint applied in flat, confident planes that emphasise form over texture. Subtle variations in tone and the visible weave of the canvas add warmth and tactility, reinforcing the painting’s grounded, organic feel despite its abstraction.

This oil on board is housed complementary layered wooden frame with pronounced grain, as well as a cream-toned inner border. 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.

Size: 48.5 x 40.5 cm (including frame)
