Teapot & Bottles
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and painterly mid-century still life painting that presents a serene arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

At the forefront sits a luminous white teapot, its rounded form catching light and contrasting with the tall, shadowy silhouettes of bottles behind it. The background features muted geometric shapes, suggesting furniture or architectural forms, further emphasising the structured balance of the composition.

The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, muted greys, soft creams, and cool blues, creating a subdued yet harmonious tonal range. The brushstrokes are confident and textural, with thick, layered applications of paint that bring a tactile quality to the surface. The strokes vary between broad, sweeping movements in the background and more controlled, angular marks on the objects, lending the painting a dynamic rhythm.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

Blue Bowl & Pears
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small but very striking still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully balanced arrangement of fruit upon a wooden surface. At the centre sits a vivid cobalt-blue bowl, cradling a bright yellow lemon and a tightly clustered bunch of deep purple grapes, accented with a bold green leaf. Surrounding the bowl are five pears in varying tones of green and brown, their organic forms adding rhythm and balance to the composition.

The artist has used a simplified, almost sculptural style, emphasising solid blocks of colour and clear outlines over intricate detail. The palette is bold and saturated, contrasting jewel-like purples and blues against earthy browns and greens, with the lemon’s intense yellow providing a sharp highlight. The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, flat applications of paint that create a sense of weight and presence.

The background is rendered in horizontal bands of brown, giving a structured backdrop that contrasts with the roundness of the fruit.

This tempera on board is presented in a well suited frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Fresh Fields

Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively mid-century post-impressionist landscape composition, executed in oil onto board.

Small yet impactful, the painting showcases a vibrant and abstracted depiction of nature, where lush fields with rolling hills in the background have been deconstructed and simplified into blocks of contrasting shades.

Post-impressionist in nature, the artist has selected a saturated and rich palette – using colours to evoke emotion rather than merely representing the landscape. The use of expressive brushstrokes, combined with a lightly textured surface, contribute to the painting’s dynamic and emotive quality as well.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Grapes & Pears
£1,000
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The composition features a golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of each form through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

This tempera on board is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Maris
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A enigmatic figurative oil painting that presents a striking, abstracted portrait of a lone figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

The subject is rendered with elongated, geometric features, their pale face standing starkly against a moody, layered background. The figure’s hair, painted in a deep, earthy rust-red, frames the face and flows downward, anchoring the composition.

The style is boldly modernist, with an emphasis on simplified forms and blocks of colour rather than fine detail. The palette is restrained yet atmospheric: muted blue-greys dominate the ground, offset by the ochre-yellow of the garment and the rusty red of the hair. Subtle tonal variations and visible brushstrokes add texture and depth, giving the surface a raw, tactile quality.

The brushwork is expressive and confident, with layered strokes that reveal the artist’s hand. Shadows and planes of colour are suggested rather than fully defined, creating a sense of mystery and introspection. The overall impression is one of quiet strength and contemplative stillness, in keeping with the aesthetics of mid-century abstraction.

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

Pear & Pitcher
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant mid-century still life composition that presents a pared-back arrangement of a single green pear alongside a white pitcher, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting is striking in its simplicity, emphasising the quiet relationship between form, line, and negative space.

Painted in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used clean, confident brushstrokes and a limited palette of muted greys, soft blues, and creamy whites, punctuated by the fresh, vivid green of the pear. The play of shadow and light across the tabletop introduces subtle tonal variations, while the black accents on the pitcher handle and base lend contrast and visual rhythm.

The brushwork is deliberate yet unfussy – broad, smooth strokes for background and surface planes, and more defined, darker lines for the outlines and details. The result is a composition that feels at once minimal and contemplative.

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

Blue Horizon
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that presents a serene and minimalist abstraction of a coastal landscape, executed in oil onto board.

The composition is reduced to bold horizontal bands and planes of colour, evoking sea, sky, and shoreline through pure geometry.

The subject matter is suggested rather than depicted – soft gradations of blue recall the horizon line where sea meets sky, while the darker horizontal strip hints at a distant shoreline, and the pale lower section conveys the sandy openness of the beach.

The style is distinctly modernist, with a restrained geometric abstraction typical of mid-century sensibilities. The artist emphasises simplicity, balance, and a meditative stillness, favouring form and colour over literal detail.

The colours are cool and calming: pale sky blue and soft powder blue are contrasted with earthy browns, muted creams, and gentle yellows. These tones create both harmony and subtle tension across the composition.

The brushstrokes are controlled and smooth, with areas of solid flat colour applied in broad planes, giving the painting a crisp, clean quality. The artist’s hand is deliberately understated, prioritising structure and tonal contrasts over texture.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary and well made wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

Constructed Balance
£975
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century modernist abstract oil composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Bengt Delefors (1917-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Borås Art Museum, and others.

This abstract still life composition has been reduced to bold, geometric forms and overlapping planes of colour. A circular form rests against angular shapes, suggesting the presence of everyday objects reimagined through abstraction. The composition is carefully balanced, with diagonal strokes introducing movement across the canvas.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century abstract style, the work embraces simplification and geometric reduction, drawing on the principles of Cubism while leaning into a modernist emphasis on form and structure over representation.

The palette is earthy yet dynamic, dominated by deep greens, muted browns, and bold blocks of red, offset by neutral tones of beige and cream. The interplay of darker and lighter hues creates depth and tonal contrast, giving the surface both rhythm and solidity.

The brushwork is confident and expressive, with areas of thickly applied paint and visible strokes that enhance the painting’s sense of immediacy and physical presence. The layering of opaque and semi-opaque colours builds a structured, tactile surface.

Astrid
£855
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist style figurative composition that presents a contemplative nude figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

The figure, constructed through broad angular planes and softened edges, is seated in a relaxed pose, one leg bent and the torso subtly twisted – creating a gentle rhythm that guides the viewer’s gaze through the composition.

Executed in a restrained yet warm palette of ochre, sienna, and earthy umber, the body is set against a backdrop of powder blue, grey, and dusty taupe. This juxtaposition of warm and cool tones imbues the painting with both emotional tension and visual calm.

The brushwork is expressive but controlled, with textured applications of paint that oscillate between opaque coverage and dry-brush translucency, revealing the wood grain beneath. There’s a tactile quality to the strokes – layered, scraped, and directional – that accentuates the structural anatomy of the figure while maintaining abstraction.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting’s surface exhibits areas of craquelure, consistent with age. While the paint layer remains stable across most of the canvas, there is some instability noted in the central section beneath the figure’s chest. The frame is in good vintage condition.

Interaction
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant geometric abstract composition that explores form and interaction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

The painting features a dynamic arrangement of amoebic shapes in overlapping layers. The subject matter is intentionally non-representational, evoking the energy of human presence or social exchange through softened silhouettes that seem to drift, merge, or dance within a flat pictorial space.

Rendered in bold blocks of solid colour – striking red and orange, yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum – the forms float atop a simplified two-tone background of blue and green, suggestive of sky and earth. The palette is both playful and intentional, using contrast to create visual depth without shadows or gradients.

Brushstrokes are smooth and minimally textured, allowing the flatness and precision of each colour field to hold compositional tension. The overall effect is a harmonious yet enigmatic piece that invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between shape, space, and colour.

A very pleasant and soothing modernist abstract landscape oil composition dated 1964, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

Mediterranean Rooftops
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that captures the sunlit charm of a coastal Mediterranean village, where whitewashed houses rise in layered planes against the calm backdrop of the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

The subject matter focuses on architectural forms – flat rooftops, arched facades, and shaded recesses – simplified into interlocking blocks of light and shadow. A few dark accents of trees break the uniformity of white, grounding the composition with contrast.

Painted in a modernist style, the work emphasizes structure and atmosphere over detail, with an almost abstract quality to the geometry of the buildings. The palette is restrained, dominated by soft whites, pale greys, and cool sky blues, punctuated by deep green-blacks that suggest foliage.

The brushstrokes are broad, fluid, and confident, applied in sweeping motions that suggest light glancing across plaster walls. Layers of paint overlap loosely, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, while still retaining a balance of form and rhythm.

This landscape painting captures a stylised countryside scene with a steam train cutting across the middle ground, its billowing white smoke rising into a pale blue sky. The artist has simplified the forms into bold, geometric blocks of colour: deep greens and browns for the fields, sandy beige for the pathways, and darker earthy tones for the hills. A sliver of blue at the horizon suggests the sea, adding depth and contrast to the composition.

Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the work reduces natural detail in favour of strong shapes and tonal contrasts.

House on the Hill
£535
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and lively landscape painting that depicts a quiet suburban scene dominated by a white house set against lush greenery and an expansive blue sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1985.

The composition is pared back to essential geometric forms – rectangular planes of house, hedge, and pavement, offset by rounded, block-like shapes of trees and bushes. A solitary vertical pole bisects the scene, adding structure and balance.

The style is characteristically modernist, emphasizing abstraction over fine detail. Colours are laid down in broad, flat fields: vivid cobalt blue for the sky, deep greens for the hedges, warm purples and greys for the street and hillside, punctuated by flashes of yellow and red that animate the composition.

The brushstrokes are bold, applied with confident, blocky movements that create a sense of solidity and rhythm rather than illusionistic depth. This restrained yet expressive handling distills the everyday view into a harmonious study of form, colour, and balance.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition – there is some light surface craquelure to the house areas as shown in close ups but the paint layer is very stable.

Cubist Interior with Chair
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century painting that presents an abstracted interior scene rendered in a cubist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966 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 built from interlocking geometric blocks of colour, suggesting architectural forms, furniture, and a seated figure to the right. The artist breaks the interior down into a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles and planes, creating a layered sense of depth while preserving a flattened, modernist aesthetic.

The palette is dominated by muted mauves, greys, and blacks, enlivened with striking accents of cobalt blue and deep crimson. These colours are applied in confident, opaque blocks, their edges sometimes softened by visible brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand. The brushwork is assertive, giving the impression of both structure and spontaneity.

Hints of a chair, a table, and a figure are discernible but dissolve into abstraction, leaving the viewer to navigate between representation and geometry. This work reflects the mid-century embrace of cubist abstraction, balancing formal rigour with expressive colour.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as well as losses as shown in the photos.

Memories by the Sea
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene figurative composition dated 1973 and painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

Depicted in this oil is a coastal scene with figures resting on a grassy hillside. The brushwork is loose and expressive, giving the piece a dreamlike, almost fleeting quality—as though it depicts a memory or a hazy summer afternoon.

In the foreground, four figures are painted in soft, warm tones of peach, cream, and ochre, their forms blending gently into the lush greens of the grass. Their postures suggest ease and leisure—some reclining, others seated upright—absorbing the warmth of the sun. The figures are not highly detailed but rather suggested through gestural strokes, allowing the viewer to feel their presence without being distracted by specifics.

Behind them, the landscape rolls into dark green hills and trees, leading the eye toward a stretch of calm blue sea and pale sky at the horizon. The colour palette balances cool greens and blues with warm highlights, evoking a harmonious, restful mood.

This oil on board is housed in a gilt and black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and losses.

Cottages by the Lake
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A restful mid-century painting that captures a tranquil lakeside scene, where a cluster of cottages sits nestled against rolling hills. executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is pared down to essential forms- angular rooftops, sloping fields, and a shimmering lake stretching into the distance. The artist has used a modernist sensibility, reducing natural detail into broad, expressive planes of colour that suggest rather than describe.

The palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by muted greens, soft browns, earthy browns, and cool greys, with touches of white and deep blue that lend balance and depth. The sky and water are rendered in layered tonal shifts, evoking the calm, expansive quality of the landscape.

Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and gestural, with visible texture that animates the surface and emphasises structure over fine detail. The rhythmic application of paint creates a sense of harmony between the natural and built forms, giving the work its distinctly modern mid-century character.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks present.

Size: 39 x 76.5 cm (including frame)

Dittisham from the Dart
£650
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An excellently executed coastal composition, painted in oil onto board.

In the foreground, the water shimmers in shades of turquoise, blue, and green, touched with subtle reflections of light and colour. A tall, thin red navigation marker rises from the water, its reflection stretching below, providing a striking focal point against the cool palette.

In the distance, a line of sailboats and small vessels rests calmly on the water, their masts pointing upwards and adding rhythm to the horizon. Behind them, lush, rolling green hills dominate the backdrop, with scattered white cottages nestled among the trees, suggesting a peaceful village setting. The sky is painted in muted pastel tones, capturing a soft morning or evening light, which enhances the calm and contemplative mood of the scene.

The overall effect is both idyllic and refreshing, a celebration of the quiet beauty of coastal life. The brushwork balances realism with painterly looseness, inviting the viewer to linger on the surface textures and the soothing interplay of colours.

This oil on board is presented in a very well crafted frame with a layered profile and gilded edges. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing present.

Houses with Red Roofs
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that presents a semi-abstracted urban scene with houses, executed in oil onto canvas.

Angular rooftops in bold terracotta tones dominate the composition, intersecting with planes of pale green, lavender, and cream. A suggestion of a tree in soft green stands alongside the houses, its form simplified into blocky, geometric shapes. The sun, a muted pink disc, hovers subtly in the background, adding a sense of atmosphere.

The palette balances warm hues with muted pastels, giving the work both vibrancy and restraint. The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, with areas where the paint has been applied more thickly, creating surface depth and variation. The overall effect is a harmonious interplay of abstraction and representation, where familiar architectural forms are distilled into their essential planes of colour and shape.

This oil on canvas is presented in a solid wooden frame with a rich, warm brown finish. The painting shows some areas of paint loss and craquelure across the surface, characteristic of age. However, the paint layer remains stable. The frame is in good vintage condition.

Size: 54 x 49 cm (including frame)
