Houses by the Sea
£485
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a quiet coastal scene viewed from a gently rising hillside, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two angular, red-roofed houses sit nestled into the land, their simple forms silhouetted against a wide expanse of luminous blue sea. The composition draws the eye naturally from the darker, earth-toned foreground up toward the glowing horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and calm.

Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified architecture, balanced geometry, and an emphasis on mood over fine detail. The houses are rendered with bold, confident shapes, while surrounding trees and foliage are loosely suggested rather than precisely defined. This restraint gives the work a timeless, contemplative quality.

The colour palette is both rich and harmonious. Deep greens, mossy browns, and muted browns dominate the foreground, contrasted beautifully by the saturated cobalt and ultramarine blues of the sea. Above, a soft, sunlit sky in pale yellows and creams introduces warmth and light, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Subtle flashes of orange and red in the buildings act as focal points within the composition.

Brushstrokes are expressive yet controlled. The sky is built up with soft, layered strokes that create a gentle, luminous texture, while the landscape below features broader, more gestural marks, allowing colours to blend and breathe. The overall paint application feels confident and painterly, capturing both structure and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Harbour at Rest
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric mid-century seascape that captures a tranquil harbour scene where moored fishing boats rest gently along the quay, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

The composition is anchored by two vessels, their masts and rigging forming a rhythmic lattice against a pale, open sky. A simple waterside building to the right introduces architectural balance, while the calm inlet reflects the boats in softened, broken tones, reinforcing the stillness of the moment.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours structure and mood over detail. Forms are simplified and confidently blocked in, lending the scene a quiet solidity and timeless charm.

The colour palette is muted and harmonious, dominated by soft greys, weathered whites, warm and earthy browns, with subtle accents of black and a touch of brick red along the roofline. These tones suggest early morning light and a cool coastal air, while the water is rendered in pale blues and silvery reflections.

Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and clearly visible, particularly in the sky and water, where layered strokes create movement and texture without disrupting the overall calm. Thicker applications of paint define the boats and quay, giving them tactile presence and depth.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain as well as an outer gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Passing Light (Reserved)
£455
Available

RESERVED UNTIL 08/05/2026.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An emotive mid-century figurative painting that captures a procession of elongated figures moving through a softly lit interior space, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rendered with a dreamlike sense of motion, the figures appear to overlap and dissolve into one another, suggesting the quiet anonymity and rhythm of everyday life. One central figure, subtly more defined and luminous, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s eye, creating a moment of pause amid the flow.

There is an emphasis on mood and gesture over precise detail. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, lending the scene an introspective, almost existential quality reminiscent of post-war European figurative painting.

The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by warm creams, sand, soft browns, and muted greys, with gentle accents of pale blue and hints of earthy green. These tones enhance the painting’s sense of light and space, while maintaining a calm, contemplative mood.

Brushstrokes are loose, layered, and expressive, with visible textures that give the figures a transient presence. The paint is applied with a dry, feathered touch in places, allowing the background to breathe through the forms, reinforcing the impression of movement and impermanence.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm, off-white tone frame that echoes the painting’s palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Open Window
£490
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large, serene and light-filled mid-century coastal scene viewed from an open window, painted in oil onto canvas.

This tranquil painting invites the viewer into a sunlit summer morning by the sea. The composition is framed by delicate, sheer curtains billowing gently inward, softening the transition between interior and exterior. Beyond the window lies a lush garden bursting with violet blue delphiniums and pale pink blooms, leading the eye toward a sparkling expanse of ocean where the sun casts a gentle shimmer across the water.

Rendered in a soft, lyrical mid-century style, the palette is dominated by airy whites, fresh greens, pastel blues, and gentle pinks, creating a sense of calm and effortless charm. The artist has used light, feathery brushstrokes to capture the translucency of the curtains and the movement of the foliage, while smoother, blended strokes describe the distant horizon and glowing sky. Subtle impasto in the floral areas adds texture and depth, enhancing the sense of a garden alive with colour and breeze.

A peaceful and evocative work that beautifully captures the nostalgia of coastal summers and the quiet poetry of a room opening onto nature.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Still Life with Mountain View
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative mid-century still life that presents a quiet interior moment set against a distant landscape, painted in oil onto board.

In the foreground, a tabletop arrangement of fruit: a crescent slice of watermelon, a rounded green melon, and a dark plum sits alongside a simple tumbler, all positioned before an open window with shuttered sides. Beyond the window, a sparse rural scene unfolds: whitewashed buildings, rolling fields, and softly contoured mountains receding into a muted horizon. The composition gently balances interior intimacy with exterior openness, inviting the viewer to linger between the domestic and the expansive.

Stylistically, the work reflects classic mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified forms, flattened perspective, and a deliberate restraint in detail. The palette is calm and earthy – dusty greys, sage and olive greens, soft blues, and chalky whites – punctuated by the gentle blush pink of the watermelon flesh, which acts as a subtle focal point. Darker tones around the window frame and tabletop anchor the composition and create a sense of enclosure.

The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Broad, matte strokes define planes and objects, while visible brush marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are softly articulated rather than sharply drawn, contributing to the work’s contemplative mood.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Green Apple with Glasses
£720
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined mid-century still life that presents a quiet tabletop arrangement composed of a dark glass bottle, a delicate wine glass holding a small measure of red wine, and a vivid green apple, painted in oil onto canvas.

Set against a cool, muted background, the composition balances solidity and translucence, with the reflective tabletop subtly mirroring the forms above it. A secondary, shadowed bottle in the background adds depth and a sense of spatial calm, while loosely suggested vertical planes hint at an interior setting beyond the table’s edge.

Executed in a distinctly modernist mid-century style, the painting favours simplified forms and tonal harmony over strict realism. The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: smoky blue-greys and slate tones dominate the background, offset by the rich emerald of the bottle, the jewel-like crimson of the wine, and the luminous, almost electric green of the apple. These carefully placed accents draw the eye and create a gentle visual rhythm across the surface.

The brushwork is confident, with visible strokes lending texture and life to the painted surface. Broad, matte passages contrast with more fluid, translucent handling in the glassware, where light and reflection are suggested rather than meticulously detailed.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame with visible grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Sliced Lemons
£765
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A cubist inspired still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

The focal point is a pair of sliced lemons, painted in thick, creamy strokes of yellow, white, and peach, giving them a fresh, tactile presence. Beside the fruit is a green pear-like form, adding another organic shape and hue. These items rest on a dark surface, perhaps a tabletop, which is painted in large, angular blocks of navy and black.

A small brown table or cabinet with short legs sits in the upper right quadrant. It appears simplified and stylised, reinforcing the abstracted, geometric quality of the whole scene.

This piece is heavily influenced by Cubism and early modernism. Forms are reduced to flat planes and hard-edged shapes and the brushwork is confident but restrained. There is a visible grid-like structure as if the artist constructed the composition like a puzzle.

The painting feels studied, measured, and designed, like an artist exploring how to deconstruct the familiar (fruit and furniture) into new visual language. It invites the viewer to slow down, observe form over realism, and enjoy the way light and space are broken into segments. The fractured composition gives it a slightly modern, mosaic-like effect, almost architectural in nature.

The painting is housed in a light grey wood with a weathered patina and a gently bevelled design. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Still Life Elements
£580
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bold and stylised mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1955.

Blending cubist and modernist influences, the composition is defined by strong, simplified shapes and vivid colour blocking, creating a playful yet structured visual experience. The painting features an arrangement of classic still life elements including a pitcher, a teapot, bottles, a cup, and several round red fruits. Bright green leaves sprawl across the foreground, adding organic curves against the sharper forms behind them.

These pops of vibrant red in the fruit and rich green in the leaves create striking contrast. A triangular beam of yellow light or background wall shape adds dynamic energy and depth to the scene.

The shadows are bold and geometric, not naturalistic, adding a graphic design-like quality that emphasises form over realism.

This painting embraces a modernist abstraction of still life, similar in spirit to the work of Fernand Léger or early Picasso. It feels both playful and calculated, as if each shape is carefully placed like pieces in a visual puzzle. It also has a slightly theatrical feel, as if lit from stage lights, enhancing its sense of constructed drama.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully distressed vintage wood frame. The painting has some areas of craquelure as shown in the photos but it is very stable overall. The frame has some scuffing, commensurate with age.

Canopy of Light
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century landscape that captures a bright, leisurely day in a park, framed by two monumental trees that dominate the foreground, executed in oil onto canvas.

Their tall, textured trunks open like a gateway into a lively scene beyond, where figures wander along a sunlit path. In the distance, soft structural lines hint at a bridge or harbour crossing, grounding the composition in a recognisable yet dreamlike setting.

Rendered in a loose, impressionistic modernist style, the painting is filled with movement and atmosphere. The artist uses quick, gestural strokes to describe the swaying leaves, fluttering foliage, and gentle shifts of light. The palette is uplifting and harmonious: pale sky blues, soft lilacs, and warm greens build a serene backdrop, while touches of yellow, rose, and turquoise bring vibrancy to the scene.

The brushwork is fluid and expressive, with dappled marks that suggest sunlight filtering through branches and energetic, sketch-like lines that animate the figures and terrain. Overall, it is a joyful, breezy composition that celebrates nature, community, and the quiet poetry of everyday life.

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

Figure and Flowers
£505
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century modernist style painting that depicts a quiet, intimate interior moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

A female figure is seated at a table, deeply focused on her hands as she works or writes. She wears a white headscarf and a pale blue dress, her posture soft and contemplative. To her right, a simple vase holds two vivid red-orange flowers, their petals dramatically fanned and adding a lively burst of colour to the otherwise serene setting. A closed book rests on the table, anchoring the composition with a sense of stillness and domestic quiet.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work embraces simplified geometric forms, muted planes of colour, and a strong sense of design. The artist has reduced detail to essentials, relying on shape and tonal relationships to describe space and figure. The overall aesthetic is minimal, balanced, and quietly poetic.

The palette is soft and harmonious: cool greys, pale blues, cream, soft yellow and muted greens form the foundation of the room and figure. These gentle tones are beautifully contrasted by the bold, saturated reds and oranges of the flowers, giving the composition a striking focal point without overwhelming its calm mood.

Brushwork is smooth, controlled, and deliberate, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Edges are clean and slightly softened, contributing to the painting’s gentle, contemplative atmosphere.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Under the Desert Sky
£505
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling abstract landscape with figure oil composition, painted in 1961 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.

The painting captures a quiet moment of communal gathering in what appears to be a sun-drenched desert setting. A group of robed figures, seated in a loose circle, are rendered in simplified forms that emphasise posture and gesture rather than facial detail – inviting the viewer to focus on atmosphere and collective presence over individual identity.

The style is modernist and pared-back, with strong influences of mid-century abstraction. The artist distils the scene into broad planes of colour: a soft blue sky meeting a warm band of yellow horizon, and earthy tones of russet, sand and umber defining the ground. The figures themselves appear as sculptural blocks of white, cream, black and deep brown, forming a rhythmic arrangement across the composition.

Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and deliberately visible, with the paint applied in textured swathes that give the work a grounded, tactile quality. The artist’s expressive technique conveys a sense of stillness and the intimate social rituals of desert life.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some wear to its corners as shown.

Violin & Flowers
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and atmospheric mid-century still life depicting a beautifully balanced arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

A richly toned violin lies gently across a tabletop, its warm reddish-brown body catching the light with a subtle sheen. Behind it, a patterned ceramic vase holds three full white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals captured with beautifully textured, expressive brushwork. The surrounding interior, rendered in soft muted tones, provides a calm and understated backdrop that allows the objects to take centre stage.

The painting is executed in a refined realist-impressionist style, marked by a balance of clarity and softness. The earthy greens, warm browns, and creamy whites create a soothing, cohesive palette, while the contrast between the polished surface of the violin and the delicate, layered petals of the chrysanthemums adds visual richness. The brushstrokes shift thoughtfully throughout: crisp and tactile in the flowers, smooth and controlled along the violin, and gently blended in the background – giving the work depth and atmosphere without drawing attention away from the central arrangement.

This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Moments Between Casts
£475
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A serene mid-century figurative seascape that captures a tranquil moment between two fishermen, each absorbed in the gentle rhythm of the water, and executed in oil onto canvas.

One figure sits hunched in a brown rowboat, lost in quiet concentration, while the other stands poised in a teal-hued vessel nearby. The composition conveys stillness and introspection: a wordless companionship bound by the shared ritual of fishing.

Rendered with soft, fluid brushstrokes, the artist has evoked a hazy, atmospheric calm, where mist and water seem to merge. Muted tones of beige, umber, and sea-grey create a sense of morning light filtered through fog, with subtle highlights suggesting the sun’s pale glow above. The brushwork is confident yet soft, with details intentionally abstracted to focus on form and feeling rather than realism.

This oil on canvas is presented in an off-white wood frame with an inner linen border that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 68 x 79 cm (including frame)

Still Life with Sardines
£535
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century still life painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1961.

This composition brings together a humble yet vibrant assortment of fresh sardines, prawns, and sliced onions arranged across a softly rumpled cloth. The artist has captured the immediacy of a kitchen table moment: the silvery shimmer of fish, the warm glow of onions, and the deep coral tones of prawns – rendered with expressive confidence.

The work sits firmly within the mid-century modernist tradition. It blends realism with painterly abstraction, allowing objects to remain recognisable while being interpreted through bold, gestural forms.

A muted, earthy palette dominates the scene: soft greys, warm taupes, and sandy neutrals form the backdrop. These subtle tones are punctuated by sharper highlights: the metallic blues and whites of the fish, the pale yellows and greens of the onions, and the rich vermillion hues of the prawns. Together, they create a balanced and atmospheric harmony

Broad, confident strokes shape the background and cloth, giving it a textured, almost sculptural feel. The food items themselves are rendered with more deliberate yet still loose brushwork – quick flicks and decisive marks bring out the glistening skin of the sardines and the curved forms of the prawns. The overall surface has an energetic, spontaneous quality that enhances the painting’s rustic charm and authenticity.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with multiple profiles. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

View Across the Lake
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and contemplative modernist style painting that captures the tranquil beauty of a lake as seen through an open window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1988.

The composition draws the viewer’s gaze outward – from the soft shadows of the window frame to the vivid expanse of blue water and rolling green hills beyond.

Executed in a modernist style, the artist has simplified the forms into broad, confident planes of colour, creating a rhythmic interplay between interior and exterior light. The palette is dominated by cool tones of azure, teal, and pale green, balanced by creamy whites and muted beiges that evoke the warmth of sunlit stone.

The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, laid down in short, directional strokes that convey texture and the quiet movement of light and air. This technique lends the work both structure and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary light wooden frame with a soft, natural finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Sunlit Village
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A tranquil mid-century townscape that captures a quiet hillside settlement basking in the stillness of the afternoon sun, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The composition is defined by a rhythmic arrangement of geometric buildings, their flat roofs and muted facades rendered in blocks of brown, sienna, and cream. Behind them, deep green hills rise gently against a cool light turquoise sky, grounding the otherwise minimal architectural forms in a serene landscape.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and thickly applied oil paint to reduce the scene to its essential planes of colour and light. Shadows are simplified into dark, earthy tones, while sunlit walls glow with pale yellows and greens. The absence of figures and fine detail lends the painting a contemplative, timeless quality: an exploration of harmony between manmade structure and the natural world.

The colour palette is warm yet subdued. The brushwork is deliberate and textural, creating a tactile surface that enhances the architectural solidity of the forms while preserving a painterly spontaneity. The restrained use of perspective and tone evokes the balanced calm characteristic of mid-century European modernist painting.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a inner gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows minor signs of age wear though these do not detract from its overall presentation.

Cottage Beyond the Trees
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

Farmyard Geese
£70
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

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

Red Roosters
£75
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

The Fruit Tree
£70
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

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

Buds Against Blue I
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

Buds Against Blue II
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

Vikings
£80
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wildflowers
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

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

Blush Horizon (Set of 2)
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Under the Sea
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970 textile artwork is a playful and colourful handwoven tapestry that encapsulates the cheerful modernism of Scandinavian design from the era.

At its centre swims a stylised fish, depicted in bold geometric forms and bright hues of orange, yellow, lilac, and coral pink. Its body is segmented with rhythmic stripes, and a round blue eye pops vividly against its pale face. The fish’s form, while simplified, conveys a lively personality — it seems almost animated as it glides across the composition.

Surrounding it is a softly variegated blue background suggesting water, with hints of movement rendered through gentle tonal shifts. Black, linear motifs rise vertically on either side, resembling underwater plants or reeds, grounding the fish within its aquatic world. Above, a few horizontal yellow dashes evoke the glimmer of sunlight filtering through the surface.

Mounted neatly on a light linen backing, the piece balances playfulness with craftsmanship. The artist’s use of strong contrast, simplified forms, and tactile weaving brings warmth and charm to a simple subject.

This tapestry beautifully captures the optimism and stylised naturalism characteristic of early 1970s Nordic textile art — an enchanting fusion of folk whimsy, mid-century abstraction, and childlike joy.

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

Poppy
£40
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a graceful handwoven tapestry depicting a single red poppy in bloom — a simple yet striking celebration of natural beauty, rendered in the understated modern-folk style typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

The tall, vertical composition enhances the elegance of the subject: a slender green stem rises confidently from the bottom edge, supporting a vibrant red flower with delicate gradations of crimson, orange, and coral. The poppy’s dark centre provides a point of contrast and visual depth, while a smaller, unopened bud gently bends alongside, adding a sense of life and continuity.

The background is a soft, heathered mix of greys and creams, creating a tactile neutral surface that allows the colours of the flower to stand out vividly. A subtle yellow inner border frames the design, drawing the eye inward and giving the piece a quiet, sunlit warmth. Mounted on a pale linen base, the presentation feels both modern and organic.

The overall effect is serene and timeless — a study in restraint and harmony. Each woven thread contributes to the tapestry’s handmade charm, where simplicity of form and richness of texture coexist beautifully.

This work encapsulates the spirit of 1970s Nordic design: nature-inspired, soulful, and crafted with a deep respect for the tactile poetry of the woven medium.

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

Jars & Blue Plate
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century still life captures a quiet, everyday arrangement of two earthenware jars, a cobalt-blue plate, and a few scattered lemons upon a sunlit tabletop, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artist’s confident use of impasto brushwork brings the scene to life – thick, textural strokes of paint that reveal the artist’s hand in every movement.

The palette is warm and expressive, balancing earthy yellows, terracottas, and muted greens with the striking contrast of the luminous blue plate that commands the centre of the composition. The interplay of these tones gives the piece both harmony and energy, while the textured surface adds a tactile, sculptural quality.

Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the forms are simplified and the focus is placed on colour relationships and surface texture rather than precise realism. The work evokes the quiet beauty of domestic life, elevated through a painter’s expressive eye.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple light wooden frame that complements its rustic aesthetic. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Three Pears & A Cup
£430
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quiet and contemplative still life that depicts a simple tabletop arrangement of three green pears and a small blue-grey cup, set against a softly textured background, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2008.

The composition is minimalist, yet imbued with a gentle rhythm and balance: the curved organic forms of the pears play harmoniously against the cylindrical solidity of the vessel.

Rendered in a modern impressionist style, the artist employs loose, visible brushstrokes and layered applications of paint, creating a tactile surface that evokes both depth and light. The palette is composed of delicate shades of green, lemon, sky blue, and muted grey, conveying a serene and contemplative mood. The soft blending and impasto technique suggest a sensitivity to form and colour rather than strict realism, giving the work a quiet poetic presence.

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