A lovely mid century oil on board of a pair of horses by a river, painted in 1958. This painting has a wonderful countryside and rural feel to it.

A small but very striking and expressive portrait in oil, painted on board and mounted within a frame.
The artist has used a vivid combination of orange, blue and red to compose this scene of a casually seated female figure. The artist has left out the figure’s facial details, focusing instead on the form of the body, and using broad and gestural brushstrokes to create the image. There is a timelessness to the piece that would make it very versatile for any interior. It’s small size would make it a good addition to a gallery wall.
The painting is housed in a light box frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a mark to the lower right corner of the frame, as shown in photos.

A small, mid century oil on board, painted in 1957.
A seemingly simple yet very effective composition of a boat, painted in a semi abstract manner. The artist has applied bold, broad and textured brushstrokes on the board, in deep, rich, vivid colours. Through the use of colour, the artist suggests to the viewer that this is a scene at sunset. The horizontal brushstrokes in the background start off in a palette of blues, suggesting the sea, and then as we move upwards, the artist has incorporated reds, pinks, yellows, and orange tones to capture the sunset sky.
The painting is housed in a wide profile wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A small but stunning mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1959.
This excellently proportioned composition features the snow covered rooftops of a group of houses, painted in a soothing and subtle colour palette. The artist guides us into appreciating the formal qualities of this scene, such as the angular lines and shapes of the roofs, doors and windows, the geometry of the houses stacked up against each other and the repeated patterns created by colour, shape and line. Contrasted against the very angular structures of the buildings are the more free flowing trees, whose branches peek out above the rooftops. The red and ochre walls of the houses and the blue of the sky stand out beautifully against the large planes of white snow.
This painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame with a lighter inner window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A very soothing and restful mid century landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.
A winding river leads our eye deep into the picture, transporting us into this rural wintery landscape surrounded by nature, where pockets of snow rest quietly on the ground. In the distance we see a wooded landscape lining the horizon, with just the tops of the mountains peaking out from behind. The rising sun casts its pinkish – purple hue over the landscape, giving this picture its warm glow. The artist has skilfully captured the peaceful and tranquil feel of this rural landscape through the use of expressive brushwork and colour.
The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A small but very interestingly executed mid century oil on board, housed in a wonderful frame.
This semi abstract composition features broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes. The artist has used contrasting and non-realistic colours to create a discernible scene where two figures appear to be standing on a truck with an open door. The artist has also exercised restraint with his paint, using what appears to be simple and minimal brushwork to execute the scene at hand. It is this restraint that shows off the artist’s skill, and makes the composition a very satisfying one to admire.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century linen-lined frame. There are ageing spots on the frame, commensurate with its age.

A small but very striking mid century semi-abstract composition in oil.
Reminiscent of the 20th century modernist style of ‘fauvism’, this painting features the classic fauve feature of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element. In this picture, the colour establishes a structure within the work without being true to the natural world. Its brushstrokes also carry the fauve style of being short and separated, creating a sense of movement within the picture.
Vivid, expressive colours and spontaneous brushwork contained within a small composition create a piece that would stand out in any interior. It would work as a single piece in a small space that needed a lift, but would also work well as part of a group hang.
The painting is housed in an off white painted wood frame that enhances its vintage character. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

An absolutely delightful mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted on to canvas. This seemingly simple yet very effective composition depicts figures on a beach. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork to capture the figures. There is a softness, and a tender-heartedness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very minimalist palette, the artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.
Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully energetic and eclectic oil painting of a street scene, painted in a Naïve style.
A well dressed couple with interesting expressions on their faces stand waiting along the pathway with a row of quaint and colourful houses behind them. A black taxi is seen bumbling its way down the road, presumably to pick the couple up.
The artist has consciously chosen to eliminate realistic proportions as exemplified in reality – enlarging the scale of the 2 figures in comparison to their surroundings. The vibrant colour palette as well as the swift and expressive brushstrokes used imbue the painting with a lively playfulness.
This oil on board is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame with an inner linen lining, with some very minor scuffs that are only visible upon close inspection.

A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.
Central to these paintings is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.
The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.
Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

A small but delightful abstract composition painted in mixed media including oil, gouache and acrylic.
The artist has used a variety of paint application techniques to create this composition – the paint has been brushed on, pressed on (with a sponge like material), and also splattered. As a result there are non-uniform areas of pattern and texture, which gives this painting its unique appeal. Although there is an element of spontaneity to the way the paint has been applied, the choice of colours, the layering and harmony, and the combination of textures has been considered carefully.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame ,which has a linen lining and an inner gilt window. The painting has been done on card which has been laid to board. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some very minor age toning to the linen on frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A small yet characterful landscape painting depicting the Southern Alps in Provence , executed in oil in 1973.
In this picturesque view, mountains in the background and greenery in the foreground have been lined in an almost symmetrical fashion, making this composition highly well-balanced.
Semi-abstract in nature, this landscape scene has been simplified down to expressive broad brushstrokes and angular shapes. The artist has used a pastel colour palette to capture the peace and tranquillity of nature.
This oil has been mounted on panel which is surrounded by a simple white wood frame. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition. Its small size would make it the perfect addition to a shelf, bookshelf or above a bed side table.

This striking modernist oil painting features bold earthy colours and confident, painterly brushwork. There is an expressiveness in the way in which the artist has painted the landscape – reflecting the ruggedness of the landscape and the old red houses. Flat planes of contrasting colour create a sense of depth, and areas of the substrate have been left uncoloured – a reminder of the distinctly modernist ethos that a painting, before it is a landscape of houses and mountains, is first and foremost a set of colours and forms arranged in a certain order on a flat surface.
The painting is housed in a typically mid century wood frame, with a lined lined border and a gilded inner window. It has some scattered areas of paint loss, as well as at the top corners of the board, but due to the style of the work the paint losses are not remarkable. The painting is otherwise in good vintage condition.

A wonderful little narrative painting depicting a group of people having fun in the snow. The artist has used a mainly pastel colour palette for the majority of the picture, but has included a pop of red and green that invite us in to enjoy the picture. A group of 3 figures building what appears to be a snowman form the centre of the composition. Framing them are houses to the eft and right, and several other figures and trees. The artist has used soft but sweeping brushstrokes to create this expressive narrative painting which adds texture to this lovely painting.
This oil painting is housed in a very elegant frame with a gilt section and an inner light blue section which suits the painting and its colour palette perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A set of 3 quaint and charming detailed portraits of military men in their uniforms. Featured in this set are a Captain, Admiral and a Midshipman, as indicated on the inscription on the back. They are also inscribed on the reverse with the dating of these style of military uniforms (18th Century). In addition to watercolour, the artist has created depth and interest through the use of gouache and gold paint.
Each portrait is framed in matching Hogarth style black frames with decorative gilt detailing. The paintings are on paper and their condition is commensurate with their age. The paper has some age toning but this in keeping with their vintage style. The frames have some minor scuffs but again, this is in keeping with the overall style.

A striking miniature landscape oil painting, executed in an abstract manner, painted in 1987.
Upon first glance we notice the broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes filling up the canvas of this lively composition.
As our eyes rest on the composition, we begin to take in the way in which artist has skilfully managed to abstract what appears to be a pleasant landscape (blue and purple skies in the background, lush greenery in the foreground) through the use of contrasting colours.
This oil on canvas housed in a white box frame would make a lovely statement piece that would suit a shelf or a gallery hang perfectly. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The pins that have been used to fix the canvas onto the frame are visible around the outside edges of the frame, as shown in photos.

This sweet still life of blue and yellow asters in vase is full of texture and character. The artist has used a palette knife to thickly apply the paint, creating a composition full of depth and dynamism. The painting and its frame have a quaint country vibe, and its imperfections give it a rustic look that add to its charm.
The painting is fixed to its original mount and frame, which dates to the mid 20th century. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some areas of wear and loss but this does not detract from the painting, and if anything adds to its vintage charm.

An emotional vintage nude oil portrait, painted in 1948. This mid century oil on board is a raw yet beautiful depiction of sadness and sorrow. A sole nude female figure sits with her head between her knees, with nothing around her except for the green stool she is seated on. Her face is concealed by her arm, adding to the idea that sadness is a human condition experienced by many, and a reminder that we are not alone when we feel fragile or negative
The painting is housed in a distressed gilt frame with an inner white window, which suits the painting very well. The painting has areas of paint loss and flaking (perhaps an uncanny reflection of the fragility and vulnerability of the portrait in the painting).

A small yet striking mid century oil on board depicting a row of figures and two boats by the shore. This simple yet intriguing composition has been beautifully executed in an expressive manner. The artist has used distinct brush strokes with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to create this well balanced composition in oil. He has focused on shape, form and line rather than realistic details of the scene. There is a calming, almost innocent like effect to this painting which makes it a pleasure to look art.
The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner fabric lined border, which suits it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The edges of the frame have a few minor scuffs, but this is typical for a frame of this age.

A uniquely framed oil depicting a trees by a lake. The frame truly brings the small landscape to life, with its inner beading drawing our eyes in toward the centre, where we notice small and fine brushstrokes in calming tones of green, white, grey and blue. The deep profile of the frame adds a ‘window’ like effect, and its silvery mottled edges outline the overall picture wonderfully.
The oil painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor paint loss and scuffs to the edges, most of which has been restored.

Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.

A row of bold scarlet red trees take centre stage – their fiery foliage attempt to obscure the landscape, but through their trunks we are given a glimpse of what is beyond. Colourful cottages dot the landscape, backed by green rich hills.

The grey-green frame with hints of gold outlines the painting wonderfully – its evenly spaced divots draw our eyes in towards the picture.
