    At the centre sits a copper kettle, its warm reddish-brown tones catching the light with subtle shifts of dark brown and russet. Behind it rises a blue bottle topped with a stark black dispenser, its vertical form contrasting the rounded bulk of the kettle. In the foreground, a small stove burner anchors the composition, rendered in deep greys and blacks.

    The artist has used a confident impasto technique, laying down thick, textured strokes of oil paint that emphasise form and surface over fine detail. The palette is restrained yet striking: earthy browns, deep blues, and muted greys set against a pale, neutral background. The brushwork is vigorous and directional, with strong diagonals and broken passages of paint that create both structure and movement within the scene.

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

  • Afternoon Lesson

    Afternoon Lesson

    705,00 

    Available

    Free UK Shipping only.

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

    The painting captures a tender moment between two figures, likely an adult and a child, engaged in a shared activity – perhaps reading – on a pale yellow surface held between them. The figures are rendered with bold black contour lines and simplified geometric forms, evoking a quiet intimacy and emotional restraint characteristic of modernist abstraction.

    The palette is soft yet expressive, with cool mint green and powder blue balanced against pale yellow, white, and black. Textural brushwork adds depth, especially in the background and garment areas, where layers of impasto reveal the artist’s hand. The faceless figures and stylized forms invite universal interpretation, evoking themes of mentorship, learning, and companionship without prescribing a specific narrative.

    Executed with a controlled yet expressive brush, this work speaks to the elegance of restraint – where every shape and colour block carries emotional weight.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs. 

    Size:  82 x 70 cm (including frame)

  • Nordic Table Setting

    Nordic Table Setting

    556,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A finely detailed 20th century large watercolour still life that captures a traditional Nordic feast laid out with precision and care, and dated 1918.

    At the centre of the composition is a generous cut of cured ham, its rich brown crust and creamy interior rendered with remarkable realism. Surrounding it are slices of rye crispbread, cold cuts, some cheese, and neatly folded napkins on delicate blue-and-white porcelain. A platter of fresh fruit  – apples, pears, and citrus – rises elegantly in a pedestal dish, while a curling sausage rests on a plate nearby. A floral arrangement in muted greens and browns adds an organic vertical balance to the arrangement, set against a soft teal curtain with an ornamental pattern.

    The style is naturalistic and quietly formal, with a focus on precision, order, and calm. The artist’s palette leans toward cool tones – icy blues, soft greys, and earthy greens – offset by warm browns and flesh tones in the food. The brushwork is delicate and controlled, with smooth washes and crisp lines characteristic of high mastery in watercolour technique.

    Textures are rendered with great sensitivity – from the porous bread to the glossy porcelain and leafy greens – imbuing the everyday subject matter with a sense of quiet reverence.

    This watercolour on paper  is housed in a complementary wood frame, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). Both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Quiet Street Corner

    Quiet Street Corner

    568,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street corner, where a row of low, yellow facades with shopfront windows are nestled beneath steep red-brown rooftops, executed in oil onto board and dated 1969.

    Behind them, tall apartment blocks rise in muted yellow and cream, their flat walls punctuated by chimneys and rooflines silhouetted against a pale blue sky. The streets are empty, save for a lone streetlamp and utility box, lending the scene a still, almost cinematic quality.

    The style blends modernist simplification with a touch of naïve precision, reducing architectural forms to bold, geometric planes while retaining enough detail to suggest texture and age. Colours are earthy and atmospheric -browns, and muted yellows dominate, contrasted by the cool grey of the street and the soft blue above. The brushwork is deliberate and smooth in the larger planes, while finer strokes animate the rooftops and wall textures, giving the surfaces a gently worn, lived-in feel.

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

  • Vessels & Sculpture

    Vessels & Sculpture

    488,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century still life that presents a striking composition of dark-toned vessels arranged upon a patterned textile, with a sculptural abstract form set against a deep plum backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At the forefront, a tall, slender vase and a rounded jug with a curving spout anchor the scene, their reflective surfaces rendered in moody blacks and greys. A geometric rug in red, blue, and white injects rhythm and contrast, its bold lines echoing the angular presence of the white sculptural form behind.

    Executed in oil, the painting reflects a restrained yet expressive mid-century sensibility. The palette is rich but muted – dominated by deep reds, greys, blacks, and earthy neutrals – balanced by the vibrant textile. The brushwork is confident, with layered textures that build form and volume while leaving visible the artist’s hand.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide wood frame finished in tones of soft grey with brown accents along the edges. The painting displays some craquelure, though the paint layer remains stable overall. There is a very small area of paint loss to the upper half of the picture, as shown in the close up photo. The frame shows some scuffs consistent with age as well.

  • Hillside Path

    Hillside Path

    660,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that presents a bold and simplified view of a vast landscape scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through green and golden fields toward a body of deep blue water, flanked by steep, rounded hills in earthy browns and muted purples. A dense green shrub anchors the foreground, providing contrast against the golden fields and the cool expanse of water beyond.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with flattened planes of colour and an emphasis on form over detail. The artist has reduced the landscape into strong, geometric shapes, capturing the essence of the scene with clarity and economy.

    The palette is rich yet subdued. Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and deliberate, applied in smooth layers that enhance the sense of structure and solidity in the composition. The result is a landscape that feels both stylised and timeless, evoking a sense of journey and distance within its simplified, harmonious design.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a warm brown finish that subtly echoes the earthy tones within the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    A playful and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

    This artworks is a two layered monoprint which creates new lines and curves through the simple layering. This allows each shape to emphasise its own individuality.

    Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

    It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

  • Still Life with Kettle

    Still Life with Kettle

    545,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A elegant mid-century still life that captures a quiet, contemplative moment on a tabletop, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At its center is a dark olive-green kettle rendered with simplified, almost sculptural clarity, placed beside a softly outlined white ceramic vessel that recedes into a muted grey backdrop. In the foreground, a minimalist black stove ring adds a utilitarian contrast to the domestic serenity of the scene.

    The composition is stark yet harmonious, employing a restrained palette of white, grey, olive, and muted browns. Shadows are deliberately soft, lending a hazy atmosphere to the work. The artist has used flat, confident brushstrokes with little visible texture, reflecting the mid-century tendency toward formal simplicity and abstraction of form.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne coloured frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame shows a small amount of wear and tear to its corners.

  • The Distance Between

    The Distance Between

    677,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene landscape painting that presents a solitary figure standing in a vast, open field, facing toward a distant white structure that rises against the horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The expansive sky occupies much of the canvas, shifting in gradient tones from pale cream near the horizon to soft blue above, evoking a sense of stillness and atmospheric depth.

    The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with bold horizontal divisions of land, horizon, and sky creating a structured balance. The dark green foreground contrasts with lighter bands of yellow and green, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central figure and the white building. The figure, rendered in simple but deliberate strokes of blue, introduces a quiet narrative of solitude, contemplation, or journey.

    The style is modernist and reductive, focusing on form and mood rather than intricate detail. Colours are clean and restrained – soft pastels in the sky, deep greens across the land, and a single bright accent of blue in the figure – lending the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

    Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with smooth transitions in the sky and more textural, layered application in the landscape. The painter’s hand is visible yet controlled, conveying both immediacy and calm.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.

  • The Juggler

    The Juggler

    522,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting that presents a stylised performer rendered in bold geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure, dressed in a vivid patchwork costume of interlocking chevrons and colour blocks, stands poised with one arm outstretched, balancing two circular forms in green and blue. A mask and beret add to the theatrical quality, suggesting the subject is a harlequin or juggler.

    The composition is divided into distinct planes of muted colours that heighten the sense of stage-like drama. The ground is dotted with playful red and purple marks, while a looping line hints at a hoop or prop, reinforcing the carnival atmosphere.

    Executed in flat planes of paint, the brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with clean, well-defined edges that emphasise the crisp geometry of the design. The palette juxtaposes earthy tones with bright primaries, creating visual rhythm and balance.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well suited wood frame finished in a muted silver-grey tone with subtle golden highlights along the inner edge. The painting is in very good vintage condition, with only a small area of paint loss to the gold leaf of the frame.

    516,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An energetic mid-century composition that captures a serene autumnal landscape with a bold, expressive hand, executed in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a textured grey-and-moss-green boulder anchors the scene beside the slender trunk of a tree, its bark rendered in rich browns and greens. Beyond, a sweep of pale golden grass opens into a stand of trees, their foliage glowing in autumnal shades, set against the deep forest green of distant conifers. The sky above is a tapestry of soft sage and buttery yellows, painted in horizontal strokes that evoke a gentle, crisp light.

    Executed in a post-impressionist style, the artist has used thick, confident brushstrokes laid in distinct, visible blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic energy and tactile depth. The harmonious yet vibrant palette conveys both the warmth of early autumn and the cool undertones of the season’s approach.

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

  • Boats at Rest

    Boats at Rest

    556,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures the quiet charm of a coastal scene, executed in oil onto board.

    Two boldly coloured boats – one in deep navy blue, the other in brick red – rest upon warm ochre sands, their strong silhouettes set against whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs. Behind them, rolling green hills meet a vivid band of cobalt sky, while the turquoise edge of the sea curves into view at the foreground.

    Executed with a modernist sensibility, the scene is reduced to simplified geometric forms and flat planes of rich colour, outlined in confident black strokes. The palette balances earthy warmth with refreshing coastal blues and greens, evoking both the heat of the sun and the coolness of the sea breeze. The smooth, uniform brushwork enhances the crisp, graphic quality of the composition, lending it a timeless feel.

    This oil on board is presented in a wooden frame with a linen inner border that beautifully complements the painting’s bold lines and coastal palette. Both the artwork and frame display some water marks and age-related spots, consistent with their vintage character. The frame also bears some scuffs and some scratches, most notably along the top right edge.

    511,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant expressionist mid-century landscape captures a rustic rural scene bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun, executed in oil onto board.

    A winding path leads the viewer’s eye into the composition, where clusters of red barns and a white farmhouse sit nestled among rolling green fields and deep blue hills. The horizon blazes with golden and amber tones, suggesting the fleeting light of early evening.

    Executed in a bold, expressionistic style, the artist has used thick, confident impasto brushstrokes, allowing the paint to stand proud from the surface and convey a palpable sense of texture and movement. Colours are rich and saturated – crimson, emerald, orange, violet, and cobalt – layered to create depth and contrast. The sweeping strokes in the sky and land give the work a sense of energy and immediacy, while the simplified forms evoke a nostalgic charm.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary light wood frame with an inner linen-lining and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.  The frame has some marks present but is in good condition overall.

  • Village Courtyard

    Village Courtyard

    860,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that captures the quiet charm of a rustic village scene, executed painted in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of brown and cream houses with sloping, dark roofs are nestle into the landscape, their forms framed by a lush green hillside under a muted blue sky. In the courtyard, a lone figure in a deep blue dress stands near a building, while a line of laundry – vivid in red, blue, and white, sways gently between posts. A slender tree with textured, leafy strokes adds rhythm and movement to the composition, while a burst of orange flowers brightens the earthy tones.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work uses simplified, almost blocky architectural forms, contrasting with the more expressive handling of foliage and sky. The palette blends warm ochres, terracottas, and earthy browns with cool greens and blues, creating a balanced, atmospheric harmony. Brushstrokes are confident and varied – broad and textured for buildings and ground, more gestural and layered in the tree and sky –  giving the piece a tactile, painterly quality that evokes both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame that has a warm, earthy golden-brown finish that complements the painting’s rustic palette. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some light marks but is in good condition overall.

  • Still Waters, Quiet Shore

    Still Waters, Quiet Shore

    591,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist painting of a coastal scene that presents a serene moment along a quiet shoreline, executed painted in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a solitary woman in a dark attire walks with measured steps, her white apron and pale yellow bundle offering a soft contrast to the muted ground. Beyond her, fishing boats are moored side-by-side, their clean lines and simplified forms rendered in flat tones of white, deep brown, and warm terracotta. A green container and stacks of pale coloured items add subtle colour accents, while the calm expanse of sea and pale blue sky create a tranquil backdrop.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting favours simplified shapes, smooth surfaces, and flat planes of colour over fine detail. The palette is composed of soft greys, muted blues, sandy beiges, and earthy browns, punctuated by touches of yellow and sea green. Brushstrokes are controlled and even, creating clean edges that enhance the scene’s sense of clarity and order.

    The work captures not only the visual calm of a coastline but also the quiet rhythm of daily life by the sea, making it an elegant example of mid-century maritime modernism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined frame with an silver window, which complements the painting beautifully and enhances its calming quality. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Through the Tunnel

    Through the Tunnel

    522,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and compelling mid-century modernist painting that immerses the viewer in the perspective of a train driver at work, executed in oil onto board.

    Rendered in bold, confident brushstrokes, this composition captures the dense array of gauges, levers, and dials that surround the central figure – an train driver in a cobalt-blue uniform – who gazes ahead toward a set of diverging tracks leading into a shadowy tunnel.

    The style is distinctly modernist, echoing the industrial fascination of the mid-20th century. The artist has used a semi-abstract approach, reducing forms into rhythmic blocks of colour and simplified shapes that emphasise geometry over realism. Rich earthy browns and blacks contrast sharply with vivid blues, reds, and whites, bringing energy and movement to the interior space.

    The brushwork is vigorous and expressive, lending texture and dynamism to both the machinery and the tunnel’s receding perspective. This painting celebrates the machinery of modern life while subtly meditating on the solitude and focus of the individual amidst the mechanical world.

    This oil on board  is housed in a complementary gilt frame with and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks on its linen border as shown but is in good vintage condition otherwise.

  • Golden Hour Fields

    Golden Hour Fields

    671,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and beautifully textured mid-century landscape painting that captures a tranquil rural scene rendered in a distinctly modernist style, and executed in oil onto board.

    At the heart of the composition lies a small red barn, nestled among tall trees that punctuate the gentle, undulating terrain. A ribbon of pale grey road leads the viewer’s eye diagonally through the canvas, bisecting fields of green and ochre that suggest cultivated land in late summer.

    The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and a subtly geometric structure to the forms – typical of the mid-century approach to simplifying nature into bold planes and rhythmic patterns. The colour palette is rich but muted, with earthy greens, clay reds, greys, and soft sky blues evoking a nostalgic calm. Layers of thick impasto and visible directional strokes bring energy and movement to the otherwise serene countryside, giving the painting a textured, almost sculptural surface.

    This work is a beautiful testament to the artist’s ability to distil a landscape into its essential forms, while still conveying warmth, place, and time.

    This oil on board is housed in a unique gilt frame with a red inner border which complements the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

    476,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poignant mid-century still life composition that evokes solitude and reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1977.

    The painting presents a tall, elegant candlestick with a melting white candle beside a thick, well-worn book. A dark ribbon bookmark drapes softly over the book’s cover. The composition is set against a deep red background and a muted olive-grey surface, creating a rich contrast that draws the viewer into the stillness of the scene.

    Executed in a restrained style, the artist has used minimal detailing and flat spatial planes, allowing texture and form to take precedence. The brushstrokes are deliberate and slightly coarse, especially in the candle’s flickering flame and the textured surface of the book’s pages, lending the piece a tactile quality. The muted, earthy palette enhances the painting’s meditative tone.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilded border. The painting has two small areas of paint loss as shown in the close ups. The frame is in good condition.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a tranquil riverside scene with a subtle narrative undertone, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

    Two figures rest on the grassy bank of a still canal, their gazes drawn toward a moored boat and a drawbridge in the distance. The composition is balanced by low farm buildings on the left and the soft sprawl of countryside under a cool, clouded sky.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is thick and confident, capturing texture and movement, especially in the turbulent sky and reflective water. The palette is dominated by muted tones: steely blues, sage greens, earthy browns, and soft greys, evoking a moody, contemplative atmosphere. The overall effect is quietly cinematic  – a fleeting moment of stillness rendered with emotional restraint and painterly clarity.

  • Geometric Collage with 4 Circles

    Geometric Collage with 4 Circles

    436,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

    The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

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

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

  • Coastal Descent

    Coastal Descent

    625,00 

    Available

    Free UK shipping Only.

    A very soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures a sun-drenched coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The viewer is positioned atop a steep stone path that winds between whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and geometric stone facades, descending toward the vivid blue sea. Three figures clad in dark robes – possibly local women carrying items on their heads – add a quiet human rhythm to the otherwise architectural scene.

    Rendered in flattened planes and simplified forms, the painting embraces a distinctly modernist approach. The brushwork is thick and confident, with textures and scumbled surfaces lending weight to the cobbled path and sky alike. The palette is subdued yet radiant: earthy browns and clay reds contrast with greys, chalky whites, and Mediterranean blues, invoking both warmth and distance.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. The painting has small areas of craquelure present, but the paint layer is stable and it is in good condition overall. 

    Size:  64 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork 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, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • A Moment to Herself

    A Moment to Herself

    568,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century figurative painting painted in 1955 that captures a contemplative figure absorbed in quiet work, seated near a sunlit window,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject is cloaked in soft whites and muted yellows. Her back is turned, head bowed slightly, hands poised at a table – offering a moment of private introspection or perhaps diligent creation.

    Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition flattens and abstracts the figure and environment into planes of diffused light and soft geometry. The painting evokes a hushed, almost spiritual atmosphere, reinforced by the play of cool blues and dusky purples that mingle with the warm earth tones of the interior.

    The artist’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate, layering paint in broad, textural strokes that blur the lines between body and space. The window, though suggested rather than rendered in full detail, casts a cool radiance into the room, lending a structural balance and emotional focal point.

    This is a quietly moving piece – imbued with the kind of everyday poetry that typified mid-century figurative painting, where solitude, domesticity, and light become the true subjects.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Bouquet in Afternoon Light

    Bouquet in Afternoon Light

    516,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century still life that captures a delicate bouquet of pink, blue, and white flowers arranged in a rounded ceramic vase, placed atop a bold, geometric tablecloth, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    The composition radiates warmth and domestic intimacy, as slanting beams of golden light suggest a late afternoon interior illuminated by natural sunlight filtering through blinds.

    The style is clean and structured, yet painterly, with evident brushstrokes that lend a tactile quality to the petals and textiles. The artist has juxtaposed organic floral forms with sharp-angled background planes and a checkered tablecloth, creating a subtle tension between softness and structure.

    The colour palette is both earthy and vibrant – olive greens, ochres, and mustard tones set a calm backdrop for the vivid magentas, cobalt blues, and whites of the flowers. The folds of the tablecloth and the reflected light on the vase are rendered with sensitivity to form and texture, giving the work a composed yet inviting atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian-lined frame with an inner gilt window.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Dream Reflex

    Dream Reflex

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Facade in Focus

    Facade in Focus

    568,00 

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    A striking street scene that depicts a neighbourhood with robust, urban buildings rendered in bold linear rhythm, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    The façades are portrayed in a schematic and stylised manner, as strong black outlines segment the pale grey and white surfaces. Set against a smooth grey street with cobblestone detailing, the scene is framed by brick pillars and a wrought-iron fence, suggesting a modest residential area. A lone tree, ablaze with orange and green leaves, punctuates the structured composition and introduces a vivid contrast—perhaps hinting at early autumn.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work is characterised by its simplified forms, matte application, and confident brushwork. There is little modulation or blending – colours are laid down decisively, giving the piece a graphic, almost print-like clarity. The result is a striking yet quiet depiction of place, both grounded in reality and filtered through a stylised, personal lens.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs, particularly at its top left corner.

    Size: 73 x 86 cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork 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, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • Haystacks by the Gate

    Haystacks by the Gate

    459,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century landscape that captures a quiet rural scene under an expansive sky, executed in oil onto board.

    To the left, several golden haystacks rise against the horizon, their rounded forms accented by loosely placed poles, hinting at agricultural life and seasonal rhythms. A  road leads the viewer’s eye into the middle distance, where a simple wooden gate opens toward a countryside beyond.

    Executed in a restrained and muted palette, the composition reflects a serene pastoral atmosphere. The brushwork is gentle and impressionistic, with visible textures in the sky and fields that lend the painting a sense of movement and authenticity. Delicate textures in areas such as the haystacks and road adds tactile interest without overwhelming the tranquil mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen-lined wood frame with and inner and outer gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has light scuffing, as well as a chip at its bottom edge.

  • Structural View

    Structural View

    608,00 

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century modernist urban landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The painting captures a quiet residential street scene as observed from behind a structural steel framework – perhaps the interior of a train, or a station canopy. The painting offers a fragmented urban perspective, with rooftops, chimneys, and facades clustered together under a brooding sky. The central teal-blue support beam divides the composition, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and scenery.

    Bold, sculptural brushstrokes and an expressive use of impasto lend a tactile richness to the scene. The palette leans cool, dominated by blue-greens and dusky greys, punctuated by muted maroons, browns, and pale yellows that bring warmth to the architectural forms.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some light scuffing to the frame, but it is in good condition overall.
