A soft and lovely work of art rendered in oil, dated 1954.
A group of men are depicted carrying bags of sand on their head, as they transport the goods from one end of a terrain to the next.
The artist has executed the work with gentle brushstrokes; and the selection of the neutral earthy colour palette consisting of green, purple blue and clay imbues the work with a subdued feel of lightness.
The painting is in good condition overall. There are tiny pin holes and losses to the edges on both sides of the painting (as depicted in the images), but in our opinion this does not detract from the work.
It is housed in a very complementary grainy wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 25.5 x 40 cm (including frame)

A fantastic miniature still life portrait, executed in oil.
Depicting a middle aged man dressed in a blue coat seated on a chair, the artist has consciously chosen not to represent his facial features. The power of faceless portraits allows one to shift focus to explore more within the frame such as the brushstrokes, colours and composition. In this case, the light and cool colours used as well as the smooth brushstrokes are reflective and well-aligned to the man’s calm and composed nature.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones, that is overall in good condition.
Size: 33 x 27 cm (including frame)

A fantastic mid century oil featuring four women lined side by side one another.
Depicting just their silhouettes, the women resemble one another in the way they look and are dressed; and the work sparks viewer’s imagination, evoking a sense of mystery.
The artist has also used a restrained palette comprising of shades of grey, blue and orange; and together with soft and light brushstrokes, there is an air visual calm and stillness in the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary greyish-blue wooden floater frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderful set of 6 military officers and infantrymen delicately painted in watercolour. Painted in the early 1900s, these delicate vintage portraits in matching frames would make a real statement if displayed as a group in an interior setting.
Each watercolour portrait is housed in a thin black frame with gilt outlines. They have some age toning but this is typical for pictures of this age, and if anything add to their vintage charm.
Size: 45 x 30 cm each (including frame)

An absolutely delightful and delicate watercolour of a Bullfinch perched upon a branch. The light green oval mount and coloured frame with gold detailing suits the little watercolour perfectly.
This framed miniature is in excellent vintage condition. It is glazed (there is glass between the painting and the frame).
Size: 40 x 32cm (including frame)

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 delightful and very textured street scene painted in oil, depicting a group of houses in a village. The colour palette used parallels the natural world, with a mix of neutral tones such as white, earthy orange, and variegated greens. It is a highly textured work, with several areas of distinct impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) creating a three dimensional effect.
The painting is currently unframed, and is painted onto sturdy board. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. It is in very good vintage condition. There is some surface paint loss to the outermost edges but this does not detract from the main image.

A rather unique oil painting on board of a group of figures who appear to be intrigued by something happening outside the window. The painting is framed in a gothic style arch-shaped frame, which mimics the arch window that the figures are peering out of.
This excitingly unique picture is certainly not something we come across everyday, and both the subject and style of frame peaked our curiosity when we came upon it.

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

A striking still life of fruit and flowers that is full of character.

There is a good sense of balance in this work, both in terms of colour and composition.

A well-executed oil on canvas depicting 3 good friends having a conversation in the outdoors on a winter’s day.
What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique – where the artist has confidently applied thick layers of paint on the canvas, giving it an outstanding three-dimensional appearance.
Although a restrained colour palette with a predominance of blue, green, and orange can be seen, the way that the artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together so harmoniously is simply stunning.
Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary rattan-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

An idyllic view of a country path curves to the left, obscuring our view of what lies just beyond the bend, tempting us to continue on in order to find out.
This picturesque miniature reminds us of the natural simplicity and beauty of what a simple country walk can offer. Flower lined paths and rolling hills beyond – such a small picture and yet so much captured within. Stamping its presence is a bold gilt frame, whose concave profile invite us to look closer and peer into the painting.
This wonderful miniature oil is in excellent vintage condition.

A lovely tiny but mighty landscape scene of a forest painted in an abstract style. The artwork depicts nature in all its glory- with tall pine trees growing in the background, streams of water flowing through land, and fallen leaves on the lush foreground.

This oil on canvas board is uniquely framed – the painting is affixed to a linen lined backing with a wood frame, adding a three dimensional quality to the piece.

A stunning miniature seascape with lots of details to appreciate. Within this tiny picture we have 6 boats amidst calm waters, including a very finely detailed three-masted sailing vessel with soldiers on board.

The painting is housed within an ornately moulded, wide profile gilt frame.

An absolutely stunning miniature impressionist painting of a view in Paris, most probably Montmartre. This original oil carries such confidence within its small frame. The artist shows off his skill, contrasting strong and heavily impasto-ed areas of thick paint (achieved through the use of a palette knife) with areas of detail and softer brushwork. The artist has managed to perfectly capture the sunlight pouring over the roofs of the grand buildings, and the city streets below.
Housed in a thin gilt and linen-lined frame, this miniature oil is in excellent vintage condition.

A delicate oil depicting two female figures warming up in their dance studio. The composition of the painting is wonderfully balanced, and its palette features soft tones and creamy textures. The artist has refrained from painting in too much detail, focusing instead on the lines and forms of the figures and the bars behind them.
The artwork and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the 6th Arrondissement of Paris, is best known for the literary and artistic celebrities who lived and worked here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was the meeting point for existentialists, painters, and writers. This vibrant painting of the quarter accurately conveys its youthful energy and atmosphere.
The oil painting is in good vintage condition, including some typical signs of ageing to the linen lining on the frame.

A absolutely stunning oil painting of birds in flight across a coastal landscape. The artist has managed to capture the crispness of an early winter morning, with a purple hue enveloping the landscape. The glowing rays of the sun have begun to warm up the sky, its rays reflecting off the water’s surface. The addition of the pair of birds mid-flight completes the composition of this oil perfectly.

A lovely delicate miniature study of a horse painted in 1917. The overall beige and cream tones in this miniature watercolour, as well as the use of fine and soft brushstrokes lend much lightness to the overall tone.
It is well presented within a mount and a wonderful wooden frame with a wide profile and visible grain. With its multiple ‘windows’, this frame adds volume and focus to the painting, and pairs perfectly with it.
This framed miniature is in very good vintage condition. There is very slight crevice along the lower section of the frame that is visible only upon close inspection. The structure of the wood frame remains very stable.
