Jug & Lemon
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant mid-century modernist style still life that captures a quiet domestic arrangement, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

A dark brown earthenware jug, a rectangular glass bottle, and a single lemon rest on a ledge before a softly illuminated wall. The artist has used the interplay of light and shadow to create a sense of architectural stillness and geometric harmony.

Rendered in a modernist style, the composition balances simplicity and structure. The jug’s bold, rounded form contrasts with the angular silhouette of the bottle behind it, while the lemon introduces a small but vivid burst of colour and organic softness.

Muted tones of brown, grey, cream, and pale yellow dominate the palette, creating a subdued atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate yet textured: visible strokes define planes of light and shade, giving the objects a sculptural quality.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some marks at its bottom left side. The frame shows minor wear and has a nick to its left border, as shown.

Cottage Beyond the Trees
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century modernist style landscape capturing the quiet charm of a countryside, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition draws the eye along a soft earthen path leading toward a red wooden cottage nestled among tall, slender trees. In the foreground, a small wooden boat rests on the grassy ground, evoking stillness and rural simplicity.

Rendered in a modernist, pared-down style, the artist has used flat planes of colour and minimal detailing to suggest light and form rather than delineate them. Pale yellows, warm browns, soft greens, and muted blues create a harmonious palette that beautifully conveys the cool, crisp air of early spring or late autumn.

The brushstrokes are broad and textured, laid down with deliberate restraint: giving the scene a tactile, almost blocky rhythm that reflects the influence of Scandinavian modernism.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with subtle reddish-brown tone and an inner gilt lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Fields in Late Summer
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and wonderfully textured modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1972.

The painting captures the quiet rhythm of open landscape beneath a soft, pale sky. The composition unfolds in broad, horizontal sweeps of cultivated land – patches of green and yellow fields stretch toward the horizon, gently intersected by blue-tinged furrows and tree lines.

Painted with a confident impasto technique, the artist has applied thick, expressive strokes that build texture and movement across the canvas. Each ridge of paint conveys the tactile feel of the earth and the shifting play of light on uneven terrain. The palette is harmonious and naturalistic: grassy greens, golden yellows, and cool hints of blue balance against a delicate, misty sky.

The work’s modernist sensibility lies in its simplification of form and emphasis on gesture over detail. Rather than depicting a literal place, it evokes the essence of cultivated fields under summer light: quiet, spacious, and timeless.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight scuffing commensurate with age.

Harbour & Hillside
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century coastal landscape that captures the rhythmic order of a harbour scene rendered through a distinctly modernist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

Clusters of geometric buildings and cranes line the waterfront, their angular forms carefully arranged to evoke both structure and serenity. The distant hills rise gently across the water, balancing the composition with soft undulating lines against the rigid shapes of the port.

The artist has used a palette of muted yet harmonious tones – brick red, sage green, browns, blush, and blue – creating a subdued but richly layered harmony of colour. Each hue appears thoughtfully modulated, suggesting light glancing off the industrial surfaces and calm waters below.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with flat, interlocking planes that give the painting an almost architectural rhythm. Despite the simplified forms, there is a deep sense of atmosphere and quietude, as though the bustling port has been momentarily stilled in contemplation.

This oil on canvas is beautifully presented in a linen-lined wooden frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some marks as well as some age spots to the linen section, consistent with age.

Lemon & Literature
£480
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and expressive mid-century still life that captures a vibrant table scene where fruit, bottles, and books converge in a symphony of colour and texture, executed in oil onto board.

A blue tablecloth stretches across the foreground, holding a scattering of apples, oranges, and a lemon alongside two dark bottles and a pair of books rendered in bold red and black. The scene glows against a luminous yellow backdrop, infusing the composition with a sense of warmth and vitality.

The artist’s palette is bold and confident: sunny yellows, blues, deep blacks, and accents of warm orange and crimson create a dynamic interplay that brings life to the static composition. The brushwork is expressive and heavily impastoed, with thick, deliberate strokes that lend a tactile energy to the painting. The use of contrasting colours and broad application of paint give the piece a sense of rhythm and immediacy characteristic of mid-century modernist expression.

The painting balances structure and spontaneity beautifully – each object is simplified yet full of presence, and the scene hums with quiet intensity. A wonderful example of post-war European still-life painting, celebrating the everyday through bold colour and painterly confidence.

Letters from the Past
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A poignant mid-century landscape capturing a solitary figure walking beneath a windswept tree, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is stripped to its essentials: a single bare-limbed tree with sparse autumn leaves and a small red letterbox attached to its trunk, standing against a pale blue sky. Below, an elderly man dressed in a dark green overcoat and cap leans gently on his cane as he walks along a quiet path, evoking a tender sense of solitude and reflection.

Rendered in a restrained, minimalist style, the artist has employed loose, confident brushstrokes and a limited, harmonious palette of muted blues and earthy browns. The tree’s branches, painted with gestural strokes, convey the movement of a cold breeze, while the man’s stillness contrasts with the rest of the composition’s subtle motion.

There’s a poetic simplicity to the piece – both melancholic and peaceful.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Neighbourhood at Dusk
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century landscape painting that presents a quiet neighbourhood scene, where houses and rooftops cluster beneath a line of slender trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition conveys both shelter and openness, with architectural forms emerging softly through the vertical rhythm of trunks and branches.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting simplifies the built environment into blocks of muted tones while a red structure provides a vibrant focal point among the cooler palette. Above, a pale blue sky stretches across the canvas, evoking a crisp, clear atmosphere.

The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, layered to suggest the shifting interplay of light and shadow. Instead of precise detailing, the artist captures the essence of place: the harmony of trees, rooftops, and streets blending together in a cohesive whole.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profiled gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

View Over the Valley
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and expressive mid-century landscape that captures the rhythmic undulation of the countryside, painted in oil onto canvas board.

The composition presents golden fields that meet a glistening blue river that winds through lush green pastures. Two modest cottages rest on a sunlit slope to the left, their earthy tones anchoring the composition amidst the sweeping expanse of colour.

Painted in a loose, confident hand, the artist has employed bold brushstrokes and gestural layering to evoke the vitality of nature rather than a literal depiction. The palette is rich yet harmonious: yellows, greens, blues, and touches of pink convey the shifting light of a late afternoon sky.

The painting balances movement and structure beautifully, with the angular geometry of the hills and houses, while the spontaneous and energetic brushwork lend it a tactile, almost musical energy.

This oil on canvas board is presented in a complementary wood-grain frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Woman in a Pink Blouse
£895
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a seated woman before a softly rendered natural backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

Her dark bob frames her lightly sketched expression, lending the composition an air of introspection and quiet distance. The figure’s mauve-pink blouse, trimmed with ruffled lace, contrasts subtly with the muted greens and browns of the forested landscape behind her.

The artist has used a delicate balance between precision and restraint: the background is softly diffused with translucent washes, while the figure’s form is more sharply delineated. The lower section of the painting introduces a striking geometric interruption: a striped band in cream, burgundy, and brown – that recalls textile or interior motifs, grounding the work in a unique aesthetic.

Brushstrokes are measured and matte, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

This oil on canvas is presented in a silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays some signs of age wear with marks and scuffs, as shown in the photos.

Size: 66.5 x 80.5 cm (including frame)

The Distance Between Us
£875
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a solitary figure standing before a vast expanse of open land, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

The composition is strikingly divided into two registers: the upper portion capturing a serene vista of green fields and a distant tree line beneath a pale, open sky, and the lower section marked by a bold geometric band in black with red and orange vertical stripes.

Rendered in restrained tones of green and earthy brown, the work balances natural quietude with structural rhythm. The figure, outlined with simplicity and minimal detail and lightly sketched features, appears introspective, heightening the emotional resonance of the scene.

Executed with flat planes of colour, the brushstrokes are gentle yet deliberate, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

Constructed Still Life
£945
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century still life rendered through bold geometry and a masterful play of colour planes, executed in oil onto canvas.

On a faceted tabletop sit a tall red jug, a teal bottle, and two fruits: one rosy red, the other golden yellow – arranged in balanced asymmetry. The artist has abstracted the everyday into angular forms, each shape carved by light and shadow into sculptural precision.

Executed in a Cubist-inspired style, the composition uses intersecting planes and overlapping hues to suggest depth and rhythm. Deep blues and purples form the backdrop, while cool aquas, brick reds, and lemon yellows provide sharp, luminous contrast. The brushwork is confident and flat, with clean edges and opaque layers that emphasise structure over texture, giving the work a strong architectural presence.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a linen-lined inner border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks, but this does not detract from its overall presentation.

Cuckoo
£40
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a delightful needlepoint tapestry that captures a woodpecker perched on a tree branch — a charming blend of folk artistry and mid-century design sensibility.

The bird, rendered in rich shades of green, olive, and yellow with a striking red crown, stands out vividly against a softly textured beige background. Its form is geometric yet recognisable, stylised with bold patches of colour and simplified contours that give it both warmth and graphic clarity. The brown tree branch and delicate green leaves anchor the composition, creating a natural harmony of tones.

Framing the scene is a decorative border composed of repeating circular motifs in white, olive, mustard, and brown — a distinctly 1970s pattern that gives the piece a rhythmic, almost quilt-like structure. The tapestry is suspended from a brass or gold-toned metal hanger, enhancing its nostalgic charm and evoking the era’s handcrafted home décor aesthetic.

This vintage needlepoint tapestry remains in very good condition. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Farmyard Geese
£70
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1972 textile artwork is a charming and vibrant handwoven tapestry that captures a stylised pastoral scene with a distinctly mid-century folk-art feel.

At the forefront, a small group of white geese with orange beaks and feet stand together on patterned ground rendered in blocks of green, orange, grey, and ochre. Behind them, a traditional half-timbered thatched cottage is depicted in a highly geometric and simplified way—its yellow roof and blue-paned windows contrasting sharply against a bright cobalt-blue sky filled with rhythmic vertical strokes.

The composition is bordered by a narrow red frame and set against a neutral linen backing, giving it a crisp and contained presentation. The overall design is bold yet playful, with an emphasis on pattern, symmetry, and texture rather than realism.

Typical of the 1970s Scandinavian and Northern European textile aesthetic, this piece blends warmth and modernity—balancing homely rural imagery with strong graphic abstraction. The craftsmanship, use of colour blocking, and tactile quality of the woven surface all contribute to its charmingly naive yet sophisticated appeal.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

This 1970s textile artwork is a charming hand-stitched tapestry that captures a blue tit perched delicately on a branch — a delightful expression of nature interpreted through the warmth of mid-century Scandinavian craft design.

The small bird, rendered in vibrant tones of blue, yellow, and olive green, is beautifully stylised yet instantly recognisable. Its body perches gracefully on a brown branch adorned with red berries, offering a joyful pop of colour against the soft, neutral background of interwoven cream and beige threads.

Framing the scene is a decorative border made up of repeating geometric floral motifs in soft yellow, olive green, and brown. This rhythmic edging lends the piece a distinctly 1970s folk-art character, balancing homeliness with graphic precision. The tapestry hangs from a brass-toned metal hanger, enhancing its nostalgic and handcrafted charm.

Every stitch reflects care and craftsmanship — a testament to the era’s appreciation for slow, tactile art forms that brought warmth into the home.

Red Chair by the Fireplace
£610
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quietly atmospheric mid-century interior scene depicting a vivid red chair positioned beside a muted-toned fireplace, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition captures a moment of stillness, where the bold hue of the chair punctuates an otherwise subdued setting. The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, greys, and soft greens, allowing the red to command attention and become the focal point of the painting.

Executed in a characteristically mid-century modernist style, the work reflects a minimalist approach to form and detail. The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, revealing the texture of the paint and the artist’s deliberate layering technique. There is a clear sensitivity to balance and geometry, with the verticals of the wall and fireplace contrasting against the angled legs and curves of the chair.

Muted grey-greens and taupes dominate the background, providing a calm, contemplative atmosphere, while the saturated crimson of the chair injects energy and emotional warmth into the composition. The interplay between shadow and light, and the tactile surface of the paint, lend the piece a quiet intimacy that evokes both solitude and comfort.

This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with light oak grain and a gilt border, which pairs very well with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Red Roosters
£75
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1973 textile artwork is a striking, handwoven wall tapestry that captures the essence of 1970s Scandinavian modernist design — bold, playful, and deeply textural.

The composition features two stylised birds facing each other in symmetrical balance, their beaks nearly touching as if in conversation or ritual. The birds are rendered in vivid shades of magenta, red, orange, and pink, set against an earthy brown and olive backdrop that enhances the vibrancy of their plumage. Their bodies are richly patterned with repeated eye-like motifs in black and white, adding a rhythmic, almost totemic quality to the piece.

Floral or feather-like forms rise vertically behind each bird, in flaming tones of violet, orange, and yellow, creating a sense of movement and vitality. The tapestry is bordered by a neutral linen mount that both softens and frames the intense colourwork.

Executed with a masterful sense of geometry and folk-inspired abstraction, the work feels both decorative and symbolic — celebrating nature, symmetry, and craftsmanship. The combination of strong contrasting hues, simplified forms, and tactile woven texture make this a quintessential example of early 1970s Nordic textile art, exuding warmth, character, and playful sophistication.

Still Life with Cat Figurine
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modernist style interior still life painting rendered in soft, abstracted geometry, and executed in oil onto board.

The composition features a tabletop arrangement with a flower in a vase, a covered bowl, a few bottles, and a pale blue cat figurine that adds a whimsical note to the scene. The artist has captured a quiet moment of domestic life through simplification and balance – transforming everyday objects into forms of colour and shape.

The palette is harmonious and cool-toned, dominated by shades of blue, teal, and brown, offset by the warmth of brown and a single crimson bloom. These muted yet carefully balanced hues create a sense of a calm interior.

Painted in a distinctly modernist idiom, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and flattened planes, giving the work tonal depth. The brushwork is visible and deliberate, lending vibrancy to the otherwise tranquil composition.

Sunlight & Table
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

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

Sunlit Balcony
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and joyfully expressive mid-century painting that captures the view from a sunlit balcony overlooking a blue sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, terracotta pots overflowing with pink flowers rest upon a richly hued red-orange floor, while a delicately curved white wrought-iron chair invites the viewer to sit and take in the scene. Beyond the golden railing, a cluster of white sailboats glides gracefully across the deep indigo waters, with the warmth of a distant shoreline and a serene sky above completing this idyllic Mediterranean vista.

Painted in a bold, modernist style, the work features lively, gestural brushstrokes that build texture and movement throughout the composition. The artist’s palette brims with complementary contrasts – vivid reds and oranges against cooling blues and greens – evoking both warmth and breeze. The loose, painterly handling create a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, lending the piece a distinctly Fauvist energy and charm.

A delightful and uplifting coastal scene that radiates summer light and the carefree spirit of mid-century modern painting.

The Fruit Tree
£70
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1976 textile artwork is a beautifully expressive handwoven tapestry that captures the spirit of Scandinavian modernist design with a touch of whimsy and surrealism.

At the centre stands a stylised tree with branching limbs rendered in deep shades of indigo, teal, and plum. Instead of natural foliage, the branches bear striking, eye-like fruit in vivid oranges, pinks, reds, and purples — each orb outlined with black and white stripes or concentric shapes, giving them an almost mystical or watchful quality. Beneath, smaller tulip-like forms in turquoise, violet, and magenta rise like decorative ground flora, adding a rhythmic base to the composition.

The backdrop is composed of vertical bands of blue — from light azure to midnight — creating a sense of depth and twilight atmosphere. The entire woven section is bordered by a neutral linen mount, giving it a clean, contemporary presentation that contrasts beautifully with the saturated hues.

The piece exudes both harmony and imagination: its bold abstraction and graphic patterning are softened by the tactile warmth of wool. The artist transforms a simple motif — a tree — into something symbolic and joyous, evoking themes of growth, mystery, and interconnectedness.

It’s a quintessential example of 1970s Scandinavian textile art — modernist yet folk-inspired, decorative yet poetic, bursting with colour and life.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Autumn Branch
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1971 textile artwork is a beautifully understated handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet elegance of nature through a refined modernist lens.

The composition centres on an arching branch adorned with elongated leaves in a radiant autumnal palette—burnt orange, rust, amber, and ochre—balanced by softer greens, olives, and hints of yellow. The branch stretches diagonally across the weave, creating a gentle sense of movement and rhythm, as if caught mid-fall in a soft breeze.

The background is a textured grey wool, its natural tones lending warmth and subtle depth that allow the vivid leaves to stand out in rich contrast. The tactile weave enhances the sense of organic softness, inviting both visual and physical appreciation. Mounted neatly on a neutral linen backing, the piece has a restrained, naturalistic harmony.

Though simple in subject, the artwork demonstrates a sophisticated command of colour and form. The stylised leaves and rhythmic composition reflect a distinctly Scandinavian modern aesthetic—one that celebrates craftsmanship, seasonal change, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.

It’s a serene and timeless 1970s textile piece—calm, contemplative, and beautifully evocative of autumn’s fleeting beauty.

Buds Against Blue I
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a beautifully handwoven tapestry depicting a stylised still life of flowers in a jug — a subject deeply rooted in Scandinavian folk and modernist traditions, interpreted here with bold simplicity and a painterly sense of form.

A light blue jug with sweeping, fluid curves anchors the composition, its elongated handle and spout rendered with sculptural elegance. From it rises a lively arrangement of green leaves and yellow buds, their shapes softly abstracted and harmoniously layered. The artist’s use of tonal greens — from olive to mint — against touches of ochre and white creates a balanced rhythm of light and movement.

The background is a deep, velvety navy that enhances the vibrancy of the floral forms, bordered by a rich teal frame that adds structure while maintaining a sense of softness. The initials “LW” woven subtly into the lower left corner suggest the maker’s personal touch, adding to the tapestry’s charm and individuality.

Executed with refined craftsmanship and a keen eye for colour harmony, this piece exemplifies 1970s Scandinavian textile art — where natural motifs, handwoven tactility, and modern abstraction coexist beautifully.

Elegant yet homely, it captures the quiet poetry of everyday life — turning a simple vase of flowers into a timeless composition of texture, colour, and warmth.

Vikings
£80
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1972 textile artwork is a bold and richly stylised handwoven tapestry depicting a Viking ship — a motif that beautifully blends Scandinavian heritage with the modernist textile aesthetic of the 1970s.

The central form of the ship is simplified into sweeping, geometric curves: a strong, arching hull rendered in earthy greens and blues, with a rhythmic row of circular shields in warm ochres, oranges, and reds adorning its side. Upright black forms rise from the ship, evoking both oars and masts, giving the piece a sense of vertical balance and quiet power.

Above, a stylised sail unfurls, composed of vivid stripes in red, orange, and gold against a cream field, framed by a band of deep blue that mirrors the sea below. The interplay of bold primary and secondary tones — red, blue, yellow, and green — is masterfully balanced, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

The piece is mounted on a neutral linen backing, which enhances its sculptural quality and allows the saturated colours to stand out with clarity.

This tapestry captures both motion and monumentality: it feels ancient and modern at once, echoing the spirit of Nordic mythology and craftsmanship while embracing the clean abstraction and rhythmic design sensibilities of 1970s Scandinavian art.

A striking tribute to cultural identity and artistry — strong, symbolic, and beautifully woven.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Wildflowers
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a delicately handwoven tapestry depicting a bouquet of wildflowers rendered in a charmingly naïve yet expressive style.

Set against a soft sky-blue background, the composition features a lively arrangement of blooms — bright red, golden yellow, violet, and deep blue — emerging from fine green stems and leaves. The flowers vary in size and orientation, creating a natural sense of movement as though freshly gathered from a meadow. The stems subtly twist and overlap, giving the piece a graceful, organic rhythm.

The tapestry is bordered by a simple dark brown edge, which frames the scene and contrasts gently with the pale background. Mounted on a neutral linen base, the overall presentation feels both rustic and refined, characteristic of Scandinavian or Northern European textile design from the period.

The handwoven texture adds a tactile warmth to the piece, with each coloured thread contributing to the impression of a lovingly crafted, one-of-a-kind artwork.

Balancing simplicity and elegance, this piece captures the essence of 1970s modern folk art — a celebration of nature through stylised form and harmonious colour, evoking a quiet, nostalgic beauty that remains timeless.

Blush Horizon (Set of 2)
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant pair of minimalist landscapes, dated 1985, that captures the serene beauty of open land under a soft rose-tinted sky, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The two compositions are designed to complement each other: one showing a gentle line of birch trees standing in rhythmic formation, the other depicting a quiet rise with a few slender trunks and a simple wire fence stretching across the horizon.

The artist has used a restrained modernist palette of blush pink, misty grey, and muted greens, allowing atmosphere and tone to take centre stage. The brushwork is delicate and deliberate – light dabs and soft stippling define the foliage, while smooth gradients create a sense of still air and fading distance.

Together, the pair evokes a dreamlike calm: a moment of dusk or dawn frozen in time, and would bring a refined sense of balance and tranquillity to any space.

These oil on canvases are housed in complementary silver and black frames. There are some light marks near the tops and bottoms of each work, consistent with age and display. The frames have some light wear and scuffing, though this does little to detract from the overall elegance of the pair.

Size of each artwork: 59 x 51.5 cm (including frame)

Chair by the Archway
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 70 x 59 cm (including frame)

Greyhound with Yellow Collar
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and very endearing canine composition of a greyhound, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The sleek brown dog is depicted reclining elegantly on a flat green field, its elongated body and arched back capturing the breed’s natural poise and elegance. A bright yellow collar adds a touch of vibrancy, standing out against the dog’s smooth, earthy coat.

The background is simple and restrained: a pale grey sky with soft, stylized clouds and a few rounded green shrubs, which frame the composition without distracting from the central subject. The muted, balanced colour palette keeps the focus on the dog’s refined form.

This oil on board is housed in a wide profile dark wood 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.

Hillside Houses
£1,055
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A mid-century modernist painting presents a vibrant yet soothing interpretation of houses by a hillside, depicted in a bold, semi-abstract style, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition features clusters of houses with angular rooftops nestled among lush greenery, painted in deep blues, rich reds, and warm earth tones. The background sky is rendered in a muted, soft grey, allowing the vivid hues of the houses to stand out.

The artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes, giving the painting a dynamic, textured quality. The foliage appears sculpted through impasto techniques, while the simplified geometric forms of the buildings lend a sense of structure amidst the organic movement of the landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small area of paint loss but is in good condition overall.

Size: 66.5 x 82 cm (including frame)

Memory of a Landscape
£560
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bold and abstract mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board.

This painting is composed of large, solid blocks of colour and thick, expressive brushstrokes. While not realistic, it suggests a natural scene, perhaps a sunset or sunrise over hills or a valley.

The upper half of the canvas is dominated by a clear, bright blue that could represent the sky. There is a large red circle positioned in the top right quadrant – this striking element resembles the sun or moon, radiating a powerful visual presence, anchoring the composition. Below the red circle is a sweeping shape in green, possibly representing a grassy hill or field, surrounded by brown, beige, and ochre, evoking earth or terrain.

There are small red marks scattered to the green and brown area, which add interest and detail and encourage you to look deeper at the painting, drawing you in.

Despite its boldness, the horizontal layering and balanced composition give a sense of calm and order. This is the kind of painting that invites multiple interpretations—sunset over a landscape, a memory, or even an abstract metaphor for time and place.

This oil on board is presented in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 41 x 48 cm (including frame)
