  • Patience

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gorgeous 1950 still life, painted in a splendid array of colours.

    Set in a well-decorated interior with a teal-coloured wall, we can spot a yellow chair, as well as a jug of fresh orange poppies and a cobalt blue plate placed atop a dining table.

    The artist has involved various pattern types – from the polka dots on the red jug, to the multi-coloured chequered  tablecloth, and blue chequered tiles on the floor.

  • Pastel Harvest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely study in oil pastel depicting two figures gathering crops, with rolling hills and a row of cottage behind them. There is a softness to this picture which the artist has achieved through the use of multiple elements such as the muted colour palette, the soft medium of oil pastel, and the exclusion of any hard angular lines. As a result, there is a wonderful rhythm and flow that has been achieved in this picture.

    The pastel is framed in a triple card mount and a gilt frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Way Home

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sweet painting depicting two figures on a village lane, painted in oil onto board. A very pleasant array of pastel tones has been used to create this scene, and a pink-ish purple hue seems to wash over the painting. Long and wide painterly brushstrokes draw our eyes in towards the painting and onwards to the landscape beyond. Two figures appear to be having a conversation on a country lane, perhaps saying their hellos or goodbyes, we do not know.  There is a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality with this painting, created by a combination of factors including the dreamy colour palette as well as the way in which the figures have been painted. Modernist techniques of creating space within the picture can be seen, such as the use of contrasting planes of colour rather than traditional methods of perspective.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Intrigue

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A rather unique oil painting on board of a group of figures who appear to be intrigued by something happening outside the window. The painting is framed in a gothic style arch-shaped frame, which mimics the arch window that the figures are peering out of.

    This excitingly unique picture is certainly not something we come across everyday, and both the subject and style of frame peaked our curiosity when we came upon it.

  • Surreal

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This striking oil painting in a typically mid century cubist style and colour palette is reminiscent of the modernist works by artists such as Picasso and Braque. Here a series of objects atop a table have been depicted from multiple view points, resulting in a fragmented and abstracted composition. The artist has broken the objects down into distinct planes and shapes, emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth, while at the same time suggesting their three dimensional forms.

    This oil is housed in its original mid century wood & gilt frame with a linen lined border. The artwork and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Afternoon Rest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic mid century oil on canvas depicting seated farmers. Here the artist has used colour and form to its full extent – traditional perspective has replaced with swathes of contrasting colour to create depth and three dimensionality within the picture. Dark, bold outlines and vibrant saturated colour painted on with visible and distinct brushstrokes form this particularly modernist picture that carries elements of cubism.

    The painting is housed in its original deep profile wood and gilt frame with a linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Picnic in the Park

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A very pleasant mid 20th century oil on canvas presenting a magnificent panoramic view of a park and the city.

    The sky is blue, and the air is crisp; as 2 friends are enjoying their picnic in the park whilst admiring the stunning view that overlooks the city.

    The artist has used a vibrant colour palette, especially multiple shades of green, that imbues the work with so much life and vitality. The brushstrokes used are short and broad, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the composition is highly well-balanced – with the area of lush greenery and blue sky having equal visual weight.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

    The work housed in a robust sage green frame that complements the artwork very well. There are some marks on the frame; and as it is its original frame, its joints are slightly delicate, but nevertheless, holds the painting well.

  • The Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD

    A thoroughly picturesque and atmospheric landscape scene. Presenting a bridge over a water stream cutting through rows of houses and trees, with a stunning mountain view in the background.

    The artist wonderfully captures the setting of the sun, as it bathes the mountains, buildings and river in its warm light,  and warm yellow tinge to the sky.

    Despite the painterly and swift brushstrokes, the painting evokes an overall sense of calm, due to the stillness from the mountains and water stream.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with gilt lining. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Evening Stroll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoroughly atmospheric evening landscape scene, with people on their daily amble. Evening light has begun to set in, as the last of the daylight slowly seeps away.  For so many of us, walks out in the fresh air were what got us through this difficult lockdown period. This painting perfectly captures that slightly mellow yet comfortable feeling of being alone with oneself, with not much else to do.

    The painting is housed is in a robust gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small crack to the top inner corner (as shown in the photos), but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and dynamic mid 20th century seascape painted in oil.

  • Exhale

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This zen winter landscape rendered in a muted palette in oil is both simple and striking.  A snow covered field stretches into the distance, its horizon lined by a row of hazy trees. Mounds of seemingly barren land peak through the thin layer of snow. But barren it is not, merely taking its chance to rest through winter before the busier season of crops begin again. Its ploughed lines extend forward into the distance – here is the earth taking a long, much needed exhalation. A reminder that we all need to take a moment or two to rest, relax and breathe from time to time.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary silver wood frame with hits of red showing through.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Room

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed modernist style painting of an abstracted interior setting, dated 1951.

    We are able to make out patio doors, a coat hanger with several coats hanging, and an assortment of objects placed on the ground. The artist has intentionally painted the objects in a very abstracted manner, focusing instead on shapes, forms, colours and outlines more than any realistic details.

    Broad and swift brushstrokes have been applied in a multi-directional and confident manner. The artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together to create a textured effect.

    The oil on canvas is housed in a gorgeous distressed frame wood, showing off its wood grain beautifully.

  • Figur

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic semi abstract oil depicting a figure within an abstracted background, painted in a cool palette of blue, white and yellow. The artist has intentionally focussed on the play of colour, choosing to leave out any realistic details or sense of perspective or context. A figure sits in the centre of the picture, and although distinct, he seems to almost be on the verge of merging into the curtain of colour behind him. This painting has a wonderful sense of playfulness and mystery about it.

    The painting is housed in a light champagne frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • After the Rain

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This fantastic oil depicts a deep and moody street scene in Stockholm. The rain has cleared but the brooding skies suggest that there is perhaps more to come. 3 figures walk down the empty road, past the colourful townhouses.

    The brushstrokes and colour palette capture the melancholy poignantly in this 1950s painting.  Multi directional strokes in a blended palette create an intensity and depth that conveys the mood of the picture.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame with gilt highlights. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of restoration (as seen in the photos) but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Friends

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed oil on canvas depicting 3 good friends having a conversation in the outdoors on a winter’s day.

    What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique – where the artist has confidently applied thick layers of paint on the canvas, giving it an outstanding three-dimensional appearance.

    Although a restrained colour palette with a predominance of blue, green, and orange can be seen, the way that the artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together so harmoniously is simply stunning.

    Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary rattan-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

    An exquisite still life painting of a vase of pink flower cuttings. The artist has captured the free and wild nature of the stems, carefully including the fallen stems to achieve a sense of balance and naturalism within the picture. The colours of the background and vase mimic the leaves, allowing the contrasting pink of the flowers to stand out.

    Areas of thick impasto and the blending of contrasting colour imbue this painting with a distinct tactility and earthiness.

    This oil on panel is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a robust wooden frame that has a unique light silver coating at the front.

  • Moonlit Night

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A night scene of a figure walking through a courtyard, painted in rich saturated colour. In the centre of the painting we see a brightly lit street lamp, which seems to illuminate the rest of the picture. The street and houses, painted in contrasting colour, are set against the blue night sky. The lone walking figure sets the mood of the painting beautifully.

    The painting reminds me of this poem by the poet Shalom Freedman:

    I am a quiet old man walking on a quiet night
    All is calm
    Light in my soul
    And outside
    The breeze fresh and cool
    Soothes my mind-

    I am a quiet man
    who has had much good in his life
    Walking home
    On a calm night
    When all is quiet
    And Peace in my soul

    The painting is housed in a dark grey frame with a linen slip. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Scanian Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and energetic Scanian landscape painting, dated 1971.

    The warm and rich plethora of colours as well as textured and short brushstrokes used imbue the painting with liveliness and vitality; and as we scan our eyes across the painting from left to right, our eyes are treated to a feast with lots of detailing to take in and enjoy.

    It is a warm summer day with clouds floating in the clear blue sky, and ducks soaring in the air.

    A farmer in a tractor is depicted ploughing the fields, preparing the soil for seeding. We can also spot a cottage surrounded by trees and different well-grown agricultural crops. In the background, there is a row of trees lined up across the hills beyond.

    The painting is housed in a complementary brown frame. It comes in good vintage condition, but there are 2 pin holes visible on the left side of the painting.
