• Autumn Path

    Autumn Path

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet impactful expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a winding country path weaving through rolling farmland and clustered trees in full seasonal colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A narrow stream or irrigation channel cuts through the composition, guiding the eye toward softly contoured hills and abstracted rural forms in the distance. The scene feels both pastoral and dreamlike, evoking the warmth and rhythm of the countryside through an imaginative, almost lyrical interpretation.

    Executed in a lively modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification and expressive colour over realism. The artist uses energetic, layered brushstrokes and thick areas of impasto to create movement and texture across the surface. Dappled applications of paint in the trees and foliage lend the painting a vibrant, mosaic-like quality, while gestural lines define the pathways, fences, and cultivated fields.

    The palette is rich and earthy, featuring warm browns, burnt orange, sienna, olive green, cobalt blue, cream, and touches of lavender and crimson. These contrasting tones create a striking sense of depth and seasonal atmosphere, balancing warmth with cooler passages of blue and white throughout the composition.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a wide profiled wood frame with an gilt inner border, which complements the painting’s warm palette beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is some small losses to the top corners of the frame. Nevertheless, the work displays well overall.

  • Cliffside by the Sea

    Cliffside by the Sea

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet coastal settlement perched along a pale, windswept cliff, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of modest houses with whitewashed walls topped with muted red and charcoal roofs rests gently against a backdrop of dense, dark green foliage. To the left, a sliver of calm turquoise sea meets a soft, expansive sky, creating a sense of openness and air. Sparse, linear elements – possibly masts or fishing lines – punctuate the scene, hinting at a working coastal life without disrupting its stillness.

    Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition leans into simplicity and atmosphere over detail. The artist has employed a subdued, harmonious palette: chalky creams and sandy beiges for the cliff, cool blue-greys for the sky, and deep greens to anchor the horizon. Accents of rust red and black add structure and rhythm across the rooftops and linear elements.

    Brushstrokes are confident and textural, applied with thick brush, giving the surface a tactile quality. The paint is layered in soft, angular planes, with visible strokes that suggest form rather than define it precisely. The result is a composition that feels both grounded and airy, capturing a fleeting moment of coastal quiet with elegance and restraint.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting has small areas of craquelure visible on the left-hand side of the sky, otherwise it is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

  • Cliffside Houses

    Cliffside Houses

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm mid-century painting that captures a row of coastal houses perched along a gently sloping bluff, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The angular rooftops of the homes step rhythmically across the incline as the land falls away toward a calm, uninterrupted band of sea on the horizon. There’s a quiet sense of stillness here – no figures, no movement – just the presence of these structures holding their place against the elements, evoking the calm solitude of a seaside village.

    Rendered in a modernist style with a subtle lean toward abstraction, the composition simplifies form while preserving a strong architectural narrative. The perspective feels slightly flattened, allowing the houses, hillside, and sky to merge into a cohesive, almost dreamlike plane. A restrained and harmonious palette anchors the scene: chalky whites and soft creams dominate the hillside and facades, offset by deeper blacks and browns in the rooftops, while a pale grey-blue sky creates a gentle, atmospheric backdrop. The sea introduces a cooler, more saturated blue, balanced by delicate touches of brown and faint peach that lend warmth and depth.

    The brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, painterly strokes shape the hillside with a textured, almost windswept quality, while the buildings are defined with more deliberate, slightly firmer gestures. Fine linear mark – suggesting fishing poles – bring a light, sketch-like energy that contrasts with the heavier, more tactile application of paint below, adding a sense of quiet movement within an otherwise serene composition.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Cottages by Quiet Water

    Cottages by Quiet Water

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle mid-century scene that unfolds along a modest shoreline, where a row of whitewashed cottages sits quietly beneath soft autumnal trees, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, three small wooden boats rest at ease on still water, their forms mirrored in loose, shimmering reflections. A pair of figures stand near the dock, adding a subtle narrative of companionship and scale to the composition.

    The style leans toward a restrained impressionism, with a focus on atmosphere over detail. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, allowing the overall harmony of the scene to take precedence. The palette is beautifully muted: creamy whites, dusty pinks, warm browns, and gentle blues – evoking a calm, almost nostalgic mood. The sky is handled with delicate tonal variation, suggesting the fading light of late afternoon or early evening.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unforced, applied with a light touch that gives the painting its airy quality. The water is rendered with loose, horizontal strokes, capturing reflection rather than precision, while the cottages and boats are built up with slightly thicker, more defined marks.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with a rich honey-toned finish, as well as an gilt and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

  • Fading Light

    Fading Light

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody and atmospheric mid-century painting that captures a quiet landscape the edge of twilight, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of darkened farm buildings with angular rooftops sit silhouetted against a low, glowing horizon. The land in the foreground feels scarce.

    The style is expressive, and form is simplified but atmosphere is deeply felt. The artist prioritises mood over detail, allowing the composition to breathe through shadow and contrast rather than precision.

    The colour palette is restrained yet powerful: deep charcoals, smoky greys, and earthy umbers dominate, punctuated by a striking band of warm yellow along the horizon. Subtle hints of burnt red and rust flicker through the foreground, adding depth and a quiet intensity.

    Brushwork is confident and textural, with visible, slightly impasto strokes that give the land a tactile, almost rugged quality. The buildings are rendered with looser, broader strokes, allowing their silhouettes to emerge organically from the surrounding darkness. The sky is softly blended, creating a gentle transition that enhances the painting’s atmospheric tension.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant and well-suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.  Please note that there is just some glare in the photos – there is no fading to any of the colours in the painting.

  • Silent Companions

    Silent Companions

    £895

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quiet arresting 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.

    This composition presents two elongated female figures standing side by side, their presence both grounded and ethereal. The subjects are reduced to essential forms – tall, cloaked silhouettes with simplified faces – imbuing them with a sense of introspection and quiet detachment. They appear suspended within a flattened architectural space, where block-like shapes behind them suggest walls or structures without anchoring the scene to any specific place, enhancing the painting’s contemplative quality.

    Executed in a restrained, earthy palette, the work leans into deep umbers, warm browns, and soft taupes, punctuated subtly by a muted ochre accent that draws the eye without disrupting the overall harmony. The brushwork is deliberate yet understated – thinly layered with a matte finish – allowing the texture of the surface to gently come through. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the figures a quiet stillness, while the broad, flat application of paint reinforces the modernist sensibility of reduction and form.

    There is a poetic tension between presence and absence here: the figures are undeniably central, yet emotionally distant, inviting the viewer to project their own narrative. The overall effect is one of calm restraint and introspective beauty – an elegant example of mid-century abstraction meeting figuration in its most distilled form.

    This oil on canvas is present softly toned linen lined wood frame with a stepped, layered profile that creates gentle depth and guides the eye inward toward the composition. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunlit Terraces

    Sunlit Terraces

    £440

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming painting that captures a clustered arrangement of buildings, their rooftops stepping gently across the composition in a rhythmic, almost conversational way, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    Balconies, chimneys, and terraces overlap in a layered architectural tapestry, while a softly rendered tree in the foreground adds a sense of life and movement. The scene feels intimate and still, suggestive of a warm afternoon where time slows and light lingers.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work leans toward a stylised realism with subtle abstraction. Forms are simplified and slightly geometric, yet retain enough detail to anchor the scene in familiarity. The perspective is intentionally flattened, allowing the buildings to stack decoratively rather than recede deeply into space, giving the composition a pleasing, almost tapestry-like quality.

    The colour palette is warm and sun-drenched, dominated by terracotta oranges, sandy beiges, and soft creams, contrasted with muted greys and a cool, textured sky. Pops of turquoise and green in the windows and foliage provide freshness and balance, enlivening the otherwise earthy tones.

    Brushstrokes are confident and visible, with a slightly dry, textured application that allows the canvas to breathe through in places. Edges are softly defined rather than sharply outlined, lending the piece a gentle, atmospheric cohesion. The handling of paint – particularly in the sky and foliage – creates a subtle vibrancy, as if the entire scene is lightly shimmering under the sun.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame finished in a soft, warm cream. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Colourful Harbour

    The Colourful Harbour

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking modernist coastal landscape captures a harbour scene rendered through simplified architectural forms and broad planes of colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1971.

    Fishing boats rest calmly along the water’s edge, framed by buildings and sheds that sit beneath a pale, expansive sky. The composition balances structure and stillness beautifully, evoking the peaceful rhythm of a seaside port at rest.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting leans into geometric abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The buildings are reduced into angular blocks and softened silhouettes, giving the scene a calm atmosphere.

    The palette is wonderfully soft yet vibrant, featuring dusty coral pinks, muted lilacs, pale blues, teal greens, mustard tones, and deep navy accents. These colours reflect gently across the water, creating a serene interplay of light and shadow throughout the composition.

    Brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth layered applications of paint contrasted against sharper linear details in the masts, rooftops, and harbour edges. The flattened treatment of form and carefully balanced tonal areas lend the work a refined, contemplative quality characteristic of mid-century coastal modernism.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary frame with a linen-lined border and gilt inner trim. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has minor age-related wear.

  • The Last Pine

    The Last Pine

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene alpine lakeside scene, where a solitary windswept pine stands against a vast expanse of calm blue water and distant snow-covered mountains, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition balances openness and quiet drama, with the lone tree acting as both focal point and anchor within the expansive natural setting. Dark rocky forms along the shoreline contrast beautifully against the crisp mountain ridge and luminous sky, giving the work a contemplative and almost cinematic atmosphere.

    Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting combines expressive brushwork with simplified forms typical of mid-century landscape painting. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest the rugged terrain and mountain contours, while softer blended passages in the sky create a sense of stillness and depth. The tree itself is rendered with elegant linearity, its sparse foliage painted in quick textured marks that lend movement and character.

    The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by cool tones of cerulean, deep lake blue, charcoal black, and snowy whites, offset by touches of earthy browns, moss green, and burnt sienna in the foreground vegetation. These warmer accents provide a subtle contrast to the crisp alpine backdrop and bring warmth to the composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt inner trim. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Little Readers

    £415

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century figurative painting that depicts two seated children captured in a quiet, introspective moment, executed in oil onto board.

    Positioned side by side, the pair are rendered with simplified features and slightly elongated forms, creating a tender sense of stillness and emotional connection. One child gently holds an open book across their lap, while the other sits patiently nearby, their expressions subdued and thoughtful.

    Painted in an expressive modernist style, the composition leans into mood and character rather than realism. The artist uses soft distortions, minimal facial detailing, and loose outlines to evoke innocence and vulnerability. The muted palette of smoky greys, earthy browns, charcoal tones, dusty rose, olive green and touches of brown contributes to the painting’s gentle, nostalgic atmosphere.

    The brushwork is textured and gestural, with layered strokes and areas of dry-brushed paint adding depth and movement across the surface. The children’s clothing is suggested through confident, painterly marks, while the softly blended background allows the figures to quietly emerge from the composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame with a softly textured silvered finish that beautifully complements the muted tones of the artwork The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight paint losses, but this is consistent with age and does not detract from its overall appearance.

  • The Quiet Whisper of Trees

    The Quiet Whisper of Trees

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a pared-back scene defined by restraint and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two slender trees rise gently from an open, muted expanse, their forms softened and slightly blurred as though caught in a passing breeze or remembered at a distance. Behind them, a low, undulating horizon stretches quietly across the composition, anchoring the scene with a subtle sense of depth.

    The artist has used a minimal, almost abstracted approach: foreground and background dissolve into one another through thin washes and softly layered tones. The palette is beautifully subdued, composed of warm taupes, soft greys, and pale stone hues, punctuated by a sweep of dark blue along the distant ridge. This restrained colour story enhances the painting’s calm, meditative quality.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with feathery, gestural strokes defining the foliage and more fluid, diluted applications across the ground. The surface reveals moments of transparency where the canvas breathes through, adding to the sense of lightness and quiet openness.

    This oil on canvas is present in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

  • Chasing After the Wind

    Chasing After the Wind

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.
    This evocative abstract seascape captures the raw energy and movement of a rugged coastline in shifting weather. Painted in layered tones of deep indigo, slate blue, charcoal and soft whites, the composition suggests waves surging and breaking over dark rocks beneath a vast, unsettled sky.

    Rather than describing the scene in literal detail, Frances distils the landscape into sweeping brushstrokes and expressive marks. Broad, gestural strokes create a sense of constant motion, as if wind and water are reshaping the shoreline before our eyes. The interplay of light and dark conveys the dramatic contrast between the foaming sea and the solid, enduring presence of the rocks.

    There is a wonderful sense of atmosphere in the painting. Pale creams and misty whites open up the sky, allowing light to filter through the clouds, while the rich blues and greys below evoke the weight and power of the ocean. The result is both dramatic and meditative, capturing that familiar coastal feeling where nature feels untamed, yet deeply calming.

    Though abstract in style, the work remains strongly connected to the natural world, inviting the viewer to imagine crashing waves, shifting weather and the rhythmic pulse of the sea. It is a piece that rewards repeated viewing, with new details and emotional nuances emerging over time.

    Elegant and atmospheric, this painting would bring a sense of depth, movement and tranquillity to any interior, making it an ideal choice for those drawn to coastal landscapes and expressive contemporary abstraction.

    The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made Trescoll slab frame, which allows you to see the edges of the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

  • Green Vessels & House Form

    Green Vessels & House Form

    £1,145

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist still life oil composition that balances domestic familiarity with a subtle sense of abstraction, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, and the Landskrona Konsthall.

    At the centre, a pair of elongated green vessels: a bottle and a handled jug, stand side by side on a tabletop, their simplified silhouettes echoed by a stylised white house form rising behind them. A small red circular object rests in the foreground, offering a gentle focal contrast and anchoring the composition.

    The arrangement feels both intimate and architectural, with the tabletop and surrounding planes constructed in flattened, geometric blocks. There’s a careful interplay between interior and exterior elements – the house motif blurs the boundary between still life and landscape.

    The palette is restrained yet expressive: muted greens and teal tones dominate, softened by warm off-whites and earthy browns, with touches of terracotta and a single note of deep red adding warmth and rhythm. The colours are slightly desaturated, lending the work a calm, contemplative mood.

    Brushwork is deliberate and textural, with visible, layered strokes that give the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Edges are gently defined rather than sharply outlined, allowing forms to breathe within the composition. The paint handling suggests confidence and restraint, with subtle variations in tone and thickness bringing depth to otherwise simplified forms.

    Overall, this is a thoughtfully balanced piece that captures the essence of mid-century still life through its harmony of form, colour, and structure.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a charming, rustic wooden frame that has a gently distressed, whitewashed finish. The painting has some light craquelure due to the thickness of the paint, but it remains in very stable condition overall.

    Off the Beaten Track

    £1,180

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A richly layered and highly expressive landscape, this painting captures the untamed beauty of the natural world through a complex interplay of colour, texture and movement. Although abstracted in style, the composition evokes the familiarity of a wild valley or mountain pass, with sweeping forms suggesting rolling hills, winding paths and distant peaks beneath an expansive sky.

    Built up with multiple layers of paint, the surface is wonderfully textured and full of character. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of energy and depth, revealing subtle shifts in tone and gesture the longer you look. Dominant hues of deep reds, moss greens, ochres and earthy browns merge and overlap to create a warm, grounded palette that feels closely connected to the land itself.

    When caught by the light, brighter passages of pale blue, blush pink and soft cream emerge from within the composition, adding luminosity and contrast. These lighter notes bring a sense of atmosphere and openness, as though sunlight is breaking through clouds and illuminating sections of the landscape below.

    There is a compelling sense of both movement and structure in the work. Fluid, sweeping marks guide the eye through the scene, while the varied colours and textures create a layered terrain that feels rugged, organic and alive. The painting rewards close inspection, revealing new details and relationships with each viewing.

    Bold yet harmonious, this piece would bring warmth, depth and a strong connection to nature into an interior. It is an engaging and atmospheric work for anyone drawn to expressive landscapes and richly textured contemporary painting.

    This large painting is beautifully presented in a custom made white tray frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

  • To Gaze Upon Beauty

    To Gaze Upon Beauty

    £390

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A simple yet deeply evocative seascape, this small abstract painting captures the enduring rhythm and quiet power of the sea. Set within a generous deep frame, the composition feels almost like a treasured coastal memory, something glimpsed through a window and held in suspension.

    Sweeping brushstrokes and layered tones of navy, slate blue, soft grey and sandy ochre suggest waves rolling and folding over one another beneath a luminous sky. The forms are pared back to their essentials, allowing the painting to communicate through movement, colour and atmosphere rather than precise detail. This simplicity is part of its charm; the scene feels immediately familiar, even if no specific location is defined.

    There is a striking balance between gentleness and strength. The pale upper section offers a sense of openness and calm, while the darker, more energetic marks below hint at the ocean’s underlying force. The result is a work that feels both soothing and dynamic, echoing the way the sea can be restorative and powerful at the same time.

    The deep frame gives the piece a sculptural presence, drawing the eye inward and lending the painting a sense of intimacy and focus. Modest in scale but rich in atmosphere, it is a quietly compelling work that would bring a touch of coastal serenity and contemporary elegance to any interior.

    The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made St Ives frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

  • Weight of Warmth

    Weight of Warmth

    £725

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This abstract painting is anchored by a central, organic form that hovers between figuration and pure gesture. Suggestive of a standing presence, the shape emerges from a richly layered ground, inviting interpretation without resolving into a fixed identity. The composition feels both grounded and dynamic, as if capturing a fleeting moment of movement or emotional intensity.

    The style reflects the expressive confidence of mid-century abstraction, where the artist prioritises form, colour, and texture over literal representation. There is a palpable sense of spontaneity, balanced by a careful orchestration of space and mass.

    A bold palette dominates the canvas: deep vermilion and burnt sienna create a warm, immersive backdrop, while passages of mustard yellow and soft terracotta build the central form. A striking vertical of black introduces contrast and structural tension, offset by a lighter, almost chalky white that breaks through the composition and adds luminosity. Flecks of cobalt blue and hints of green peek through in places, lending vibrancy and subtle complexity.

    The brushwork is varied and tactile: thick, impasto applications sit alongside scraped and dragged passages, revealing layers beneath. Broad, gestural strokes convey immediacy, while areas of stippling and dry-brush texture add depth and rhythm. The surface carries a physical presence, with paint built up and worked back, embodying the artist’s process in every mark.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame with a brushed gold finish. The painting has some areas of craquelure, consistent with age, which remain stable and do not detract from the visual impact. The frame has light scuffing and minor areas of surface loss.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This striking painting presents two simplified human forms suspended in a quiet, intimate exchange. One figure stands in soft green clothing, loosely holding a cluster of yellow flowers, while the other sits nearby, turned toward them in a moment that feels conversational. Their faces are intentionally undefined, reduced to smooth, pale planes.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces abstraction through flattened forms, pared-back anatomy, and a near-collage approach to composition. The figures are constructed with bold, interlocking shapes, their outlines subtly broken and reassembled with gestural marks that lend a sense of movement and quiet fragmentation.

    The palette is dominated by layered greens – ranging from mint and sage to deeper teal – punctuated by fresh accents of lemon yellow, sky blue, and hints of charcoal and white. These colours create a luminous, almost sunlit atmosphere, evoking nature without depicting it literally.

    Brushwork is confident: broad, matte planes of colour are interrupted by swift, expressive strokes and linear marks that cut across the surface. These gestural accents introduce rhythm and spontaneity, softening the otherwise graphic structure and adding depth to the composition.

    Altogether, the piece captures a fleeting human connection – poised somewhere between stillness and conversation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There are some light marks to the painting, most notably near the face of the figure on the right. The frame shows minor scuffing consistent with age.

    The painting captures the essence of the human form through a language of bold reduction and tactile surface. A reclining figure emerges from the composition, its contours simplified into rounded, interlocking shapes that suggest the curve of a shoulder, the bend of a hip, and the quiet weight of a resting body. The figure feels both present and elusive – more sensed than precisely defined – inviting the viewer to complete the form through perception.

    The style is distinctly modernist, leaning into abstraction while retaining a strong figurative anchor. There is a confident balance between structure and spontaneity: broad planes of colour establish the composition, while energetic, almost impulsive marks disrupt and animate the surface. The artist’s hand is evident throughout, giving the work a raw, expressive immediacy.

    The palette is warm and striking, dominated by rich vermilion reds, burnt orange, and deep maroon tones that form a saturated backdrop. Against this, the figure is rendered in creamy, off-white hues, punctuated by flashes of cobalt blue and teal. These cooler accents create visual tension and rhythm, guiding the eye across the composition and adding depth to the otherwise flattened space.

    Brushwork is thick and textural, with areas of heavy impasto that catch the light and emphasise the physicality of the paint. Scraped passages and layered strokes contribute to a richly worked surface, where traces of earlier marks remain visible beneath. This layering gives the painting a sense of history and movement, as though the figure has been gradually revealed through successive gestures.

    Overall, the piece is a powerful study in form, colour, and material – intimate yet bold, gestural yet composed.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame that has a gently stepped profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffs.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This charming painting captures a quiet, intimate moment between two children, absorbed in a shared task. One stands steady while the other bends slightly forward, both focused on lifting or holding a soft, ambiguous form between them – perhaps a cushion, or an object of play. Their faceless forms heighten the universality of the scene, allowing the viewer to project their own memories of childhood connection and curiosity.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is pared back to essential shapes and gestures. The figures are outlined through simplified silhouettes, with an intentional absence of facial detail that shifts emphasis to posture and interaction. The background dissolves into abstract patches of colour, suggesting an environment rather than defining it – echoing influences of mid-century European modernism with a playful, almost childlike sensibility.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by soft greens, turquoise blues, and warm earthy tones. The contrast between the cool, airy background and the warmer clothing of the figures creates a gentle visual rhythm. Subtle, irregular streaks and patches of colour are scattered across the surface, adding movement and a sense of spontaneity.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unrefined, applied in flat, matte blocks with visible texture from the canvas beneath. There is a rawness to the application – edges are imperfect, transitions are abrupt – which lends the piece its authenticity and expressive charm. The painting feels both deliberate and instinctive, embodying the spirit of mid-century abstraction where form, colour, and emotion take precedence over realism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there are some marks present on the surface of the painting. There is also a very small dent to the top right edge, along with scuffing to the frame.

  • A Moment to Read

    A Moment to Read

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure absorbed in reading, positioned beside a softly lit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The setting feels intimate and introspective – books are stacked and scattered across a desk and nearby surfaces. The figure’s posture, slightly bowed over the book, conveys a sense of stillness and focus.

    Rendered in a distinctly expressive, modernist style, the composition leans toward abstraction without losing its figurative anchor. The artist simplifies the figure’s facial features, allowing gesture and stance to carry emotional weight. There is a subtle tension between structure and looseness – forms are blocked in with confidence, yet edges dissolve and shift, lending the scene a fleeting quality.

    The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep charcoals, and mossy greens, punctuated by passages of pale blue and a warm, luminous yellow from the window light. This interplay of cool and warm tones creates depth and atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the glowing interior light source.

    Brushstrokes are tactile and deliberate: thick, painterly applications of oil give the surface a textured, almost sculptural quality. The handling is direct and unrefined in places, with visible strokes that trace the artist’s hand, reinforcing the immediacy and emotional sincerity of the work.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful champagne coloured wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and compelling evocative 1987 figurative interior painting that captures a contemplative moment shared between three figures set within a softly abstracted studio environment, by Finnish postwar artist Marjatta Sarasalo (1930 – 2006).

    Sarasalo’s paintings have a very distinctive style, which incorporate line drawings of figures on very textured backgrounds as seen in this piece. Here’s the bodies have been rendered in a delicate, linear style – each figure outlined with expressive black contour lines against a textured, ochre-toned ground.

    Their poses are relaxed yet poised: one sits cross-legged in profile, another stands beside her, while the third looms gently in the background, creating a rhythm of human presence that feels both classical and modern.

    Executed with a refined palette of warm sand, muted green, pale rose, and chalky white, the composition is harmonised by vertical bands of colour that frame and anchor the figures, suggesting architectural planes or light filtering through curtains. The layered surface – built up with dry, rough brushstrokes and subtle scumbling—imbues the work with a tactile, fresco-like quality.

    The painting’s quiet grandeur and subdued palette speak to a modernist sensitivity, where figuration, abstraction, and texture merge in serene dialogue.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick to its left edge but is in good condition overall.

  • Figure in Constructed Room

    Figure in Constructed Room

    £1,085

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very striking mid-century modern composition that presents a pared-back interior scene distilled into bold geometry and quiet symbolism, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957 by the estalished Swedish artist Bertil Berntsson (1921-2002), whose works have been exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm, Ystad Art Museum, Malmö Museum, and the Helsingborg City Museum, to name a few.

    At the centre stands a simplified elongated female figure that has been rendered with minimal contour yet carrying a strong, sculptural presence. Beside her, a cylindrical vessel or drum-like form anchors the composition, its solidity contrasting with the openness of the surrounding space.

    The setting is constructed through intersecting planes and architectural lines, suggesting walls, windows, or partitions without fully resolving into a literal interior. This ambiguity lends the work a contemplative quality – where figure and object coexist in a suspended, silent dialogue.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modernist influences, drawing on elements of abstraction and cubist structure. Thick, deliberate black outlines define the forms, creating a graphic framework that flattens perspective while guiding the eye across the composition. The restrained palette features soft creams, muted greys, and a gentle teal-blue panel, balanced by deeper blacks and earthy browns. These colours are applied in broad, even fields, with subtle tonal shifts that add depth without disrupting the overall calm.

    The brushwork is confident, largely smooth and controlled, with occasional visible strokes and dry-brush textures that lend a tactile quality to the surface. The result is a harmonious interplay between line, form, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame that complements the earthy palette of the work. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Harbour Stillness

    Harbour Stillness

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century painting that captures a quiet harbour scene where two small sailboats rest gently on calm, reflective waters, painted in oil onto board in 1942 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The composition is pared back and contemplative: boats sit low in the foreground, their slender masts rising vertically and echoed in the soft, rippling reflections below. Beyond them, a simplified shoreline unfolds in horizontal bands, punctuated by a small white structure and subtle architectural hints, evoking a sunlit coastal setting at rest.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction with a strong emphasis on form reduction and spatial harmony. Perspective is flattened, and depth is suggested through layered planes rather than strict realism. The artist has embraced a minimalist approach, allowing negative space and quiet geometry to guide the eye.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained and harmonious:soft blues, muted aquas, sandy browns, and warm creams dominate the scene. These tones gently contrast and blend, creating a tranquil, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The water mirrors these hues with delicate variations, enhancing the sense of stillness.

    Brushstrokes are loose yet intentional, with visible, confident applications of paint. The surface shows subtle texture, particularly in the water and sky, where strokes move fluidly and horizontally. Edges are softened and forms are simplified, giving the work an airy, lyrical quality.

    This oil on board is presented in an elegant wood frame with a warm, brushed gold and silver finish, and a gently stepped profile with subtle ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Presence in Blue

    Presence in Blue

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century figurative interior that presents a poised, contemplative woman in blue, seated within a softly structured domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure sits slightly angled yet grounded, her form simplified and solid, conveying both stillness and quiet introspection. To her side, a table holds a warm-toned ceramic vessel, anchoring the composition and balancing the human presence with an object of everyday life. The checkered floor beneath introduces a subtle rhythm, guiding the eye through the composition while reinforcing the interior setting.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward a restrained, semi-abstract figuration. The artist reduces the figure and surroundings into flattened planes and geometric blocks, prioritising mood and structure over detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully muted yet expressive -cool, dusty blues dominate the figure’s dress, contrasted with terracottas, and soft yellows in the background and still life elements. These tonal contrasts create a quiet dialogue between warmth and coolness, light and shadow.

    Brushstrokes are confident and painterly, applied in broad, visible sweeps that give the work texture and life. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, allowing forms to blend subtly into one another. The handling of paint feels intuitive and unforced, with areas of thicker application adding depth, particularly in the darker passages and along the patterned floor.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with warm, natural wood grain and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and the frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Long Turn Home

    The Long Turn Home

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric and expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a solitary figure walking along a gently winding path bordered by a stand of tall dark trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the distance, low rolling hills dissolve into a hazy horizon beneath a softly shifting sky, lending the scene a contemplative, almost introspective mood. The lone figure, rendered with minimal detail, becomes a quiet focal point – suggesting themes of solitude, journey, and reflection.

    Stylistically, the painting leans toward an expressive, semi-abstract interpretation of the landscape. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise realism. The trees to the right are articulated with bold, vertical strokes, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the softer, diffused background.

    The colour palette is cool and restrained, dominated by layered greens, deep forest tones, and muted blue-greys. Subtle touches of pale sky blue and soft white break through the cloud cover, while earthy undertones ground the composition. Occasional dabs of lighter pigment across the foreground add texture and visual rhythm.

    Brushwork is confident and gestural throughout: broad, sweeping strokes shape the land and sky, while more assertive, almost calligraphic lines define the trees and path. The paint is applied with varying thickness, creating a tactile surface that enhances the painting’s immediacy and emotional depth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a silver painted wood frame with an inner cream border. The painted surface shows areas of craquelure, most notably within the darker black passages, where the paint layer appears slightly fragile. Otherwise, it is in good vintage condition.

  • Twilight Path

    Twilight Path

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a hushed forest scene at nightfall, where fading light settles softly over a quiet woodland, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a gently defined and inviting path emerges, guiding the eye inward and creating a subtle sense of movement through the stillness.

    Rendered in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist distils the forest into softened bands and gestural marks. Trees are suggested rather than defined, dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elusive, with the path offering structure amid the increasingly shadowed landscape.

    The colour palette leans into cool, moody tones: muted greens, deepened aquas, smoky greys, and chalky whites – layered to evoke the last traces of light filtering through the trees. Darker, almost inky accents anchor the composition, hinting at tree trunks and the quiet density of the forest as it recedes into shadow.

    Brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, horizontal strokes shape the landscape and the path, while thicker, textured applications of paint add weight and tactility in the foreground. More translucent layers in the background soften the scene, allowing forms to blur gently into one another, enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a refined, light-toned wood frame featuring a gently stepped profile and a contrasting black inset which creates a striking visual border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Geometric Collage in Blues

    Geometric Collage in Blues

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the heart of the artwork is a carefully balanced four-part composition, divided into squares, each containing a small vertical pairing of rectangular blocks. These central forms: composed of soft off-white, deep indigo, slate grey, and muted charcoal – echo one another subtly across the surface, creating a quiet rhythm and sense of repetition. The woven textures of the salvaged book cloth are beautifully visible within each element, offering gentle variation and tactility against the broader fields of colour.

    The background is composed of softly shifting panels of various blues, each section bearing the marks of time through delicate abrasions, faint horizontal striations, and areas of tonal wear. Vertical and horizontal seams subtly divide the surface, reinforcing the constructed, assemblage nature of the work while adding depth and structure.

    The composition feels contemplative and architectural: where repetition, balance, and materiality come together in a restrained yet deeply textural expression. There is a quiet dialogue between the squares, each echoing the other while retaining its own subtle tonal identity.

    The artwork is presented in a warm-toned solid wood float frame with a rich grain that complements the cooler hues of the piece. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

  • Geometric Collage in Dark Brown

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre is a compact vertical block of four rectangles, arranged in a tight grid. The arrangement feels deliberate and balanced, like a coded visual fragment.

    The surface surrounding this central form is rich with the history of its previous life. Dark, charcoal-toned book covers dominate the background, with horizontal scuffs, striations, and fading that reveal years of handling and wear. A visible seam across the middle hints at the joining of separate covers, reinforcing the idea of reconstruction.

    The binding cloth used in the coloured rectangles subtly contrasts with the rougher ground. The crisp geometry of the central block stands in tension with the imperfect, weathered field.

    Boyd distills their physical essence into a minimal composition that speaks of time, use, and renewal—less about what was written, and more about what remains.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    This Dave Boyd work is a refined meditation on balance, material memory, and geometry, crafted from objects that once held stories, now transformed into something more abstract and contemplative.

    In it we have a vertical alignment of four softly rendered circles anchors the piece, each one subtly distinct in tone. hey sit in perfect balance, like a totemic sequence or visual rhythm, guiding the eye gently downward.

    The background is richly textured. Faded ochres, worn browns, and chalky whites create a weathered, timeworn surface. Horizontal marks and abrasions hint at handling, storage, and history. A visible seam across the middle quietly reveals its constructed, layered origin.

    You can almost feel the past life of the materials which have been handled, read, discarded, and reimagined.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre sits a small vertical grid of coloured squares, arranged in a neat, almost architectural column. Each block (muted red, ochre, green, teal, grey, and off-white) carefully chosen, like a restrained palette study. Its symmetry contrasts with the more irregular, weathered background.

    The surrounding field is a rich, earthy expanse, layered with horizontal marks, striations, and subtle tonal shifts. There’s a tension between precision (the grid) and imperfection (the background).

    Colour, material, and space are reduced to essentials. It invites slow looking, rewarding attention with subtle shifts in tone and texture rather than bold statements.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.
