A large and well executed mid century landscape in oil, painted on canvas.
A large cottage centres the composition, with other outbuildings surrounding it, flanked by green trees. This cottage is probably located by the sea, as on the right side we can see the tops of masts of docked boats.
This panoramic landscape is wonderfully calm and tranquil, with its expansive layout in deep blues and greens. Its long horizontal layout and restful composition would make it the perfect piece to hang above a bed. The painting has a thoroughly soothing effect.
The painting is housed in its original light wood mid century frame with a wide linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some ageing commensurate with age and widening to corner joints.

A monumental and brilliantly executed mid century portrait in oil, painted on to canvas.
Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist captures the sitter poignantly. A refined gentleman sits at a table smoking his pipe. His surroundings have been left abstract – there is no sense of time, space or context. Each brush stroke in this large piece has been carefully considered, applied to the canvas with purpose. Every contrasting tone has its role to play, creating a sense of depth within the picture. The composition is a feast for the eyes – our eyes are encouraged to flitter and dance across the canvas surface, taking in the colours, the sitters features, the background.
This piece would be a stand out piece in any interior, due to both its size and its excellent execution. The piece is housed in a silver frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
Size: 92 x 73 cm (including frame)

A stunning and emotive impressionist painting depicting a sunrise at sea, executed in oil in 1948. The artwork celebrates the beauty of nature, and is in reminiscent of works by British landscape painter JMW Turner.
Through the careful use of light and colour, the painting displays the artist’s desire to capture the natural atmospheric elements and movement of water created at that particular moment in time.
Combining both a warm and cool palette, one can notice warm light yellows and calming cool blues shifting across the painting. The effectiveness of lighting is achieved though the use of energetic and loose brushstrokes, invigorating the work a sense of dynamism.
This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition. It housed in its original mid-century gilt frame that has light wear, but this is in keeping with its overall look.

A very large and very elegant mid century portrait of a young male figure reading a book, painted in oil onto canvas.
The artist has left the background indiscernible, removing any notion of time, place or context. This abstraction of the background conveys the fact that the figure is fully absorbed in his book, unaware of his surroundings. Similarly, we as the viewers are also drawn into the picture, fixing our gaze on the figure. His hair neatly parted, he is dressed in a deep red sweater, his book rests on his crossed legs.
This portrait has clearly taken great artistic skill, time and consideration to execute. The colours of the painting play off each other beautifully, yet there is great balance and harmony. The deep blue of his jeans and deep red of his sweater centre the picture, while a more muted palette radiates out towards the edges.
The painting is housed in a distressed silver frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition overall. The painting has some light areas of craquelure, but is stable overall. There is some slight paint loss to the lower edge (as shown in the photos) due to the frame but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A bold and typically mid century 1960s abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.
Featuring cubist influences and reminiscent of the style of works by modernist artists such as Pablo Picasso, this abstract in oil comprises a series of shapes and forms in a deep and earthy palette of green, black, brown and yellow and white. The beauty of a work like this is that is very much subject to personal interpretation – one may be able to discern the shape of a snail, but this may not be the case for everyone, some may see a pair of acorns perhaps. Alternatively, it may be a purely abstract composition altogether, and not representative of anything in reality. We are able to just enjoy the fact that the group of shapes in contrasting colours have been carefully laid out, encouraging our eyes to move across the canvas and take in the different pieces making up the puzzle.
This satisfying painting is housed in its original, and very unique, mid century frame with several windows that create a wonderful optical effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A wonderfully textured and expressive mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas.
This painting is powerful and visually striking in appearance, as it is composed with saturated and fiery colours comprising shades of orange, red and yellow that evoke energy and warmth.
The artist has skilfully used the impasto technique – applying thick layers of paint to provide a textural dimension to the artwork. This thick accumulation of paint that lends a three-dimensional quality not only adds character to the piece, but a sense of dynamism too.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century hessian frame with an inner gilt window. There is some general wear to the hessian lining on the frame but this is only noticeable upon close inspection.

A mid century landscape motif painted in oil onto board, and framed in a very complementary light blue frame.
A pair of cows rest on the rural pasture, and behind them sit two farm sheds. To the sky, brushstrokes have been applied in a very expressive manner – swirls of blue draw attention to the cloudy skies. The cows lie on the grass , also an ‘old wives” indication that rain might soon arrive. To the bottom half of the picture, short, repetitive and distinct strokes mark out the field.
This wonderfully expressive and textured landscape is housed in a light blue frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A very large, modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1967. Vibrant colours, bold outlines, and areas of impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) make up this large composition which features a semi abstract city skyline. The artist has played with geometric shapes and forms, while using large blocks of colour painted in an expressive manner. The painting has a very ‘unrefined’ and ‘raw’ look and feel, typical of mid century modern paintings of this genre.
This large painting is housed in a simple wooden frame which suits it very well. The painting has some scattered areas of surface paint loss which reveal the orange painted layer below but due to the nature of the style of the painting these areas of paint loss add to its character and certainly do not detract from the appeal of the painting.

A lively, vibrant mid century café scene painted in oil on to canvas. In the forefront of the picture, several faceless figures seat awaiting service, while behind them stand a row of cafe staff, serving drinks and preparing tables. The composition is well balanced, with four white parasols adding a sense of movement to the painting. The artist has also used several different layers of paint for the background, creating depth and texture. Details such like the time of day or the location are indiscernible, but there is a distinct air of light-heartedness and cheerfulness within the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a robust gilt frame with a beaded design. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A tranquil and visually calming modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil in 1953.
Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape terrain in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes.
The painting demonstrates a subtle dance between colours, as planes of soft neutral shades including sand and green have been used to illustrate the distribution of crop across the terrain as well as to create a strong sense of depth and width in the painting.
Short expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed in a rapid manner, and its textural qualities adds character to the work.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with red undertones and with an inner linen lining. The frame has some very minor areas of marks commensurate with its age.

A tranquil and wonderfully executed mid 20th century landscape street scene composition, rendered in oil in a semi-abstracted manner.
Although pictorial details have been blurred, we can see 2 figures in black and a figure in white on a walkway heading towards a monumental building in the background.
This piece radiates calmness and serenity – brought forth through the use of wonderful subtle and muted pastel tones that transition from one shade to the next so seamlessly and that gives the painting its compositional depth; as well as through the use of gentle and lightly textured brushstrokes.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in an elegant light cream wood and linen frame, and there is minor yellowing to the corners of the inner frame.

A large and striking mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1945. Executed in a post impressionist style, the artist has used non naturalistic colours for both the figure and the background. The background has largely been painted in sections of colour blocks, creating a sense of depth through geometric shapes.
The subject matter is focused – a single male figure with a cane stands in a street by a street lamp. He has stopped his walk and is standing casually, listening and looking to something in front of him (which could be us, the viewer). His hand is placed casually in his left pocket, legs crossed, shoulders slumped, and cigarette hanging loosely between his lips.
Although the figure has been painted in a looser and more expressive manner compared to the flat planes of the background, the artist has mirrored the colours in his suit to the colours in the background, creating a satisfying harmony within the picture.
This painting is housed in its original mid century gilt and wood frame, and is in excellent vintage condition.

A playful and vibrant scene of 2 figures with a donkey wagon, painted in a fauvist style. The artist has used an array of non-naturalistic colours in loose sections, and has simplified the subjects such that it leans towards abstraction. He has also applied the theory of complementary colours in this painting, where pairs of colours that are opposite each other on a colour wheel are used side-by-side in the painting, making each other look brighter as a result. There is also a rejection of traditional three-dimensional space, as the artist has instead used flat areas of patches of colour to create a sense of pictorial space, drawing our attention to his use of bright emotive colours, simple shapes and painterly mark-making. We notice also that the artist has intentionally left areas of the canvas uncoloured and showing through.
The painting is housed in its original mid century dark wood frame with an inner dark gilt border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

Handmade by the established Swedish painter and sculptor Fabian Lundqvist, this striking artwork features geometric sections in contrasting colours of a restrained palette.

A vibrant and energetic impressionist oil painting presenting a river canal flowing through lush greenery a summer’s day.

A large and very unique gouache painting of a mother feeding her baby, painted in a distinctly modernist style.
The subject of the painting – a mother breastfeeding her child – is an intimate, personal one. Yet intriguingly, the style in which the artist had chosen to depict this scene seems to remove this element of intimacy, at least at first glance. What we notice at first are the lines and shapes rather than the actual scene. The artist has created a geometric effect within the picture, playing with shape, form, line, colour and pattern. Bold outlines in black demarcate each of the coloured sections, imbuing it with an architectural effect.
The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined slip. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some age toning to the inner section of the frame, and some minor scuffing to the outer edges. The painting is set behind a thick pane of glass.

A brilliantly executed and well-detailed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil in 1975.
The artwork depicts a table top setting featuring a group of mushrooms, placed against a soothing green coloured background.
Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.
Swift and lively brushstrokes fill the canvas; and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skillfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.
This oil on board painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, of which has some areas of marks and scuffs, as well as age toning to its inner section.

A wonderful and delightful scene of a garden party.
Two ladies are sat on a bench, chatting away and drinking tea from a table with a beautiful floral arrangement, as they watch their 2 young daughters play nearby. The artist has composed the scene in an impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Short and swift brushstrokes have been used to capture the dappled sunlight shining through the trees and the open field on this warm summer’s day; and the overall composition has calm qualities and distinct elegance to it.

A subtle and sombre composition of a forest landscape, executed in oil in 1962.
The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a vast snow-covered landscape filled with trees, as they fade into the distance.
The artist has used a restrained colour palette; and together with the use of very fine and light brushstrokes – he has skillfully managed to create a lovely soft and misty effect, as well as a visual calm and stillness throughout the painting.

A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons. The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

A rich and vibrant colour palette has been used to create this very striking painting.
This unfussy but brilliantly executed cubist still life is housed in its original mid century light wood frame with an inner linen lined border, which suits the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A beautifully executed and framed mid century landscape scene, painted in oil on to canvas.
The artist has mastered his medium (oil), applying layers of colour that are luminous and fluid. There is a distinct sense of playfulness here, where non naturalistic colours have given the landscape scene life, vibrancy and expression. We are able to analyse the application of the paint, layer by layer, giving us a glimpse into the artist’s process.
The painting is very uniquely framed in its original mid century frame, which has a lovely wide profile. The outer and inner gilt windows are separated by a beautiful deep blue fabric lined border. The frame complements the painting wonderfully and really makes it stand out.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it does not detract from the attractiveness of the painting.
