  • White Winter

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A semi abstract mid century oil on canvas of a winter landscape, painted in 1957.

    In this painting the artist immediately draws our attention to the expansiveness of the snowy fields by dedicating two thirds of the composition to white, snow covered pasture. In the horizon was see a spread of farmhouses, whose scale is tiny compared to the vastness of the fields. There is a quietness and stillness to the painted scene, which has a very calming and restful effect.

    This oil on canvas has light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame with red undertones that that has light wear and minor scuffs, but in keeping with its overall look.

  • Winter Farm

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large picturesque and restful winter landscape composition in oil, painted in 1955.

Gestural and textured brushstrokes fill the lower half of the picture, conveying the feel of fresh snow on the ground.  A three bar gate punctuates the right side of the picture, creating focus and direction for the viewer’s eye as well as a sense of balance to the overall image.

    The painting is beautifully framed in its original mid century wood frame, which features a protruding border in dark gilt. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general wear commensurate with age, but is very stable overall.

  • Alpine

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gorgeously expressive mid century landscape view in oil, painted in 1952 onto canvas.

    This painting succeeds wonderfully at bringing some of the outside in. The artist has used gestural, painterly brushstrokes to depict alpine trees standing tall with a blue sky beyond them.  The artist celebrates the medium of oil, using texture and movement to draw our attention to the physicality of the paint.

    This mid century piece would look wonderful in an interior space as a calming spot to rest one’s eyes on, reminding us of the cool and fresh air of the alpine forest.

    The painting is housed in a distressed off-white decorative frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some general wear but this is very much in keeping with its overall style.

  • Cedar

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and restful mid century oil landscape , painted onto board.

    A set of farmhouses sit within a large pastoral landscape with a wooded treeline in the distance, set under the golden light of the sun. The artist has captured a panoramic view of the landscape before him by dedicating a large proportion of the painted surface to the sky. The soft palette of cream and light blue set a wonderful contrast against the darker, earthier palette of the land below, where the artist has used rougher and more distinct brushstrokes to capture the effects of the elements on the pasture.

    The painting is housed within a simple thin gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting has a tiny area of surface paint loss (please refer to the close up photo) which is visible upon close inspection but does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Coastal Rocks

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and picturesque modernist style oil painting, presenting a coastal landscape composition of rock formation and greenery by the sea.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has simplified forms to down to distinct coloured shapes and expressive brushstrokes . The rich and lively earthy colours harmonise wonderfully together, and also demonstrate a sense of depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a lovely grainy light wood frame that complements the painting very well. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 48 x 56 cm (including frame)

  • Father

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this very large mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a standing figure painted in a modernist style.

    Large planes and blocks of colour in a deep and rich palette have been applied to the canvas, with a distinct focus on the formal qualities of shape, form and colour. The artist has used angled lines and geometric shapes to compose the figure. He has left out realistic details, and has  abstracted the portrait he has painted. He celebrates the medium of oil, leaving visible the strokes of his large paint brush, as well as creating textured areas of impasto that contrast with the smoother planes of painted areas.

    This large modernist portrait has been excellently executed, and would make a very prominent statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good condition overall. Due to the large size and heaviness of the board, the frame will need to be handled carefully when hanging. Please note that there is some glare in the photographs as the images were taken under natural light.

    Size:  92 x 79 cm (including frame)

  • Flock of Sheep

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm and gorgeous mid 20th century oil painting depicting a flock of sheep in a nature.

    The soft pastel and earthy pastel colours create an air of serenity; and the precise and lightly textured brushstrokes imbue the painting with a tinge of vitality.

    Overall, the varying shades and brushstrokes in this work flow impeccably –  leading our eyes gently from the foreground where the sheep are huddled together, to the background where the vast open land, mountains and blue sky lie beyond in the horizon.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame with an inner gilt window that complements the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Horseman

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century geometric abstract is painted in oil onto board and presented within an off white slip and a gilt frame.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, this painting is reminiscent of works by artists such as Pablo Picasso. We see a removal of ‘superfluous’ elements of both animal and human to reach a simple linear abstraction. The artist has intentionally chosen not to depict the figures realistically, and has instead reduced them down into shapes and lines. Simple yet effective outlines connect seamlessly, standing out against a vivid background of reds, greens, and whites to create this striking composition.

    The painting is housed in a excellent frame that suits the picture brilliantly. It has an off white slip and a gilt frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Houses on a Hill

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully textured mid-century landscape oil painting, depicting a row of houses on a hill top.

    Largely abstract in composition, the artist focuses on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space and has used blocks of muted subdued tones including shades of taupe and green to form this composition.

    Upon closer inspection of the painting,  we can notice how layers of colours have been skilfully and thoughtfully applied – using cobalt blue as the starting undertone colour on the right, and burnt orange on the left.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique, using broad and expressive brushstrokes to create thick and creamy layers of paint to form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    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 board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original champagne gold frame that has areas of marks commensurate with its age.

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

  • In the Woods

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully expressive mid century oil on canvas, depicting a lush wooded landscape.

    Bold, painterly brushstrokes capture the effects of the elements on the landscape – we get a sense of a light wind blowing through the trees, their branches swaying side to side, the leaves rustling as they go. The artist has used rich, vivid colours to capture the array of hues and shades of the woods. A lighter palette ahs been used for the top half of the picture, where the tree canopy is more exposed to the light of the sky. As we move further down the picture, a deeper, darker, earthier palette has  been used to depict lush depths of the woods and the forest floor.

    This oil painting is housed in a wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Interlink

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large emotive and powerful acrylic on board, painted in 1975.

    Abstract in nature, the painting focuses our attention on non-objective artistic elements such as  colour, line, shape and form.

    Executed in bold primary colours of blue, red and yellow, expressive lines and geometric shapes interlink with one another to define this space on the canvas and form an aesthetically striking and well-balanced pattern.

    As the work does not represent visual reality, the artist has instead used the respective elements to emphasise his inner feelings and emotion. With its saturated colours and dynamic forms that add a highly energetic feel as well as being close to a meter in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

    This acrylic on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original wood frame that has some marks and scuffs (as shown in the images)

  • Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and earthy mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas, and framed in a very complementary gilt frame.

    Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the canvas to create this almost abstract landscape scene. There are elements of this painting that are very much reminiscent of the Modernist painter Paul Cezanne. Although this piece has moved closer towards abstraction, it carries the similar traits of repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes that Cezanne had in his pictures. Here the artist has also used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. There is also great vigour and energy in this painting.

    It is housed in a simple gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs mainly to the lower section. There is some wear to the bottom edge of the frame.

  • Mother and Baby Girl

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a mother with a bowl, feeding a baby girl.

    A depiction of the wonderful (albeit sometimes frustrating) everyday scene of feeding a young child, which is familiar to anyone who has had a young baby. A mother sits close to her child, with the bowl of food set out and her baby in front of her.

    The artist has captured this everyday scene beautifully, using a vivid and bold colour palette, and incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality. The features of the figures have been left out, focusing instead on the shape and form of the figures and the bowl, giving this painting a timelessness, which coincides beautifully with the ‘timelessness’ of raising children and all that comes with it.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century deep profile frame, with an outer wood section and a protruding gilt window. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall appeal. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Neighbourhood Walk

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and lively oil painting featuring a street scene in a bustling neighbourhood. In the foreground, cars and pedestrians line the pavement, and rows of colourful buildings sit in the background.

    The artist has painted in a modernist style, using geometric blocks, bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to paint this detailed composition.

    A playful selection of lively colours that harmonise so well together have been used to form this composition; and the energetic and painterly brushstrokes add dynamism and a light tactility to the painting.

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

  • Pontoon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid century geometric painting in oil, dated 1954.

    Here the artist has captured an industrial marine structure, the pontoon crane. The artist has flattened the composition into sections of flat coloured planes, as well as dark angular lines. Through the use of these geometric shapes and lines, the artist has conveyed the ‘industrial’ sense of the scene through these formal qualities, rather than through a realistic depiction of the crane, pontoon and harbour buildings. This is very much a modernist ethos, where artists painting in this period were incorporating the aesthetic of the ‘machine’ and other industrialist activities into their art.

    This oil painting is housed in a robust solid wood frame, which suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The oak frame has some general scuffing and a small indent to the left and right edges (as seen in photos) but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Portrait in Blue

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking abstract figure painted in pastel tones in oil. Soft muted hues contrast starkly against the distinct sharp black outlines. The style of this figure is reminiscent of the figurative works by  the well known Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele whose works like this one, were often contorted, abstracted, unapologetic and emotionally charged.

    The painted is housed in a cream coloured wood frame and a white card mount. The frame has some general scuffing, but is in keeping with the general ‘rough and raw’ look of the portrait. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pulse

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed  medium sized abstract composition, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1958. A bold and rich colour palette of deep greens, greys and black are accentuated by yellow and white,  giving this picture its depth and intensity. Rhythmic circular brushstrokes are juxtaposed against more angular and formal shapes, encouraging our eyes to move in and around the picture and back again. The artist has filled the canvas with an array of textures – we see smooth brushwork, as well as thicker areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. There are also areas where the artist has dabbed the brush repeatedly, creating small ripples in the paint. Despite the range of colours, shapes and brushwork, there is a beautiful rhythm within the picture, and a very satisfying harmony in its composition.

    The painting is housed in a very elegant smooth champagne gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame.

  • Still Life with Pots

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A flourishing and captivating mid century Swedish still life artwork, painted in oil onto board.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple yet effective composition of two plants in terracotta pots, sitting quietly against a restrained background.

    The muted earthy colour palette including shades of green and blue create a wonderful sense of harmony and balance within the picture, and also enriching the work with softness and a calming effect.  

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame and is in overall very good vintage condition. There is a small stain just by the leaf on the left pot as well as some minor marks on the frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Placeholder

    The Guitar Player

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century cubist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of works by cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso,  this painting has broken the figure and her instrument down into distinct planes, aiming to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space and so suggest their three dimensional form.  In doing so, this artist has emphasised the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and marks.

  • The Mender

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful mid century modern gouache portrait, painted in 1959 and framed behind glass.

    This small but very well executed painting depicts a seated man, mending a net. There is a quiet sense of calm to this piece – the man sits casually on a simple box, focused on mending his net which he has propped on knee. There is something wholesome and comfortable about the scene, which the artist has captured beautifully.

    The artist has painted this in a typically modernist style, focusing on the forms and colours of the scene rather than realistic details. The sitters surroundings are undiscernible, drawing our attention instead toward the form of the man and his net, the geometric lines of the box,  the patterns and colours of his clothes.

    This gouache on paper is framed in its original wood frame, and is set behind glass. The gouache is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks and scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Tree Line

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very expressive but restful landscape scene in oil, painted in 1977.

    This piece is excellently executed, with skilful blending of post impressionist colour to create this landscape composition. Creamy, textured areas of paint have been layered and blended, encouraging our eyes to dance around the canvas and soak up the painterly details. The subject of the composition is wonderful to rest tired eyes on – a tree lined path in the rural countryside leads into the horizon, with clear skies up above. There is a sense that the artist might have been painting ‘en plein air’, capturing an emotional response to the landscape, as opposed to realistically depicting it.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with an inner gilt window that really brings out its colours. The painting would make a fabulous statement piece in a living room or bedroom. The painting is in very good condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • Together

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Urbanscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century townscape painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has eliminated all details and has reduced the forms of the buildings down into simple yet very effective planes of colour. Although the application of colour appears to be casual and loose at first glance, further observation reveals that this composition has indeed been very carefully and thoughtfully structured and put together. Loose strokes of vertical and horizontal planes of colour come together seamlessly to create this town view.

    The painting is housed in its gorgeous mid century frame, which has a really lovely woven border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Yard

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century Swedish landscape oil, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used bold, sweeping brushstrokes in the lower half of the picture, with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface), in rich earthy colours. This is juxtaposed with the softer, more delicate strokes he has used for the trees in the upper half of the picture, which skilfully conveys the movement of the leaves in the wind. A group of farm dwellings sit in the centre of the picture, balancing the overall composition. The artist has used the medium of oil to successfully convey the raw, weathered textures of the rural buildings.  The subtle, earthy colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.

    The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Pick Up

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.
