  • Intrigue

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • The Surprise Visit

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lively and dynamic artwork of an interior setting featuring an elderly couple sitting by a window and a young child.

    It is a sunny day outside, and this little girl has come to surprise her grandparents living in the countryside with a visit. She has entered the living room in their cottage, and the air is filled with joy as they set sights on one another.

    The house is well decorated with paintings hanging on the walls, some flowers in a vase placed atop a side table, and the floor is adorned with a colourful rug.

    What is so captivating in this piece is the strong use of bold, distinct and linear brushstrokes, giving rise to the various forms in this picture.

    This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Ake Wickström (b. 1927), who’s works are also displayed at Vikingsberg Museum, Helsingborg, and Broby Museum.

    This mid 20th century oil painting is well preserved, and is in excellent vintage condition.

    It comes with a brown wooden frame with gold trimmings that complements the artwork beautifully.

    Size: 48 x 58 cm (including frame)

  • Two for Joy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Painted in 1974, this joyful oil painting depicts two magpies perched within a luscious green tree. The artist has combined textured layers of paint and a playful colour palette to create this delightful painting. Swirls of pastel blue, orange and brown contrast beautifully with the much quicker and heavier dabs of green and yellow of the leaves on the tree.  As the well known nursery rhyme goes, sighting two magpies signifies the arrival of joy and good luck.

    This painting is housed within a vintage style box frame that has been painted black. The frame has minor scuffs and the painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    For those that may no longer remember, here’s the famous rhyme about magpies:

    “One for sorrow,
    Two for joy,
    Three for a girl,
    Four for a boy,
    Five for silver,
    Six for gold,
    Seven for a secret,
    Never to be told,
    Eight for a wish,
    Nine for a kiss
    Ten for a bird
    You must not miss.”

    Size: 38 x 34 cm (including frame)

  • Surreal

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This striking oil painting in a typically mid century cubist style and colour palette is reminiscent of the modernist works by artists such as Picasso and Braque. Here a series of objects atop a table have been depicted from multiple view points, resulting in a fragmented and abstracted composition. The artist has broken the objects down into distinct planes and shapes, emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth, while at the same time suggesting their three dimensional forms.

    This oil is housed in its original mid century wood & gilt frame with a linen lined border. The artwork and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 45 x 53.5 cm (including frame)

  • Blush

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully rendered charming still life, painted in 1969. Petite pink flowers are placed in a glass, as it sits on top of a table, alongside an empty bowl and 2 fruits. The colour palette and style of the work is playful and cheery – a nod to sunny days and good times.

    Soft and fine strokes have been used paint the overall work, but the sweeping brushstrokes used to paint the creases in the yellow table runner convey a sense of movement in the work.

    This painting on board is in excellent vintage condition.

    It comes with a uniquely decorated frame with hand moulding and a gold border, which pairs extremely well with painting.

    Size: 43 x 49 cm (including frame)

  • Afternoon Rest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic mid century oil on canvas depicting seated farmers. Here the artist has used colour and form to its full extent – traditional perspective has replaced with swathes of contrasting colour to create depth and three dimensionality within the picture. Dark, bold outlines and vibrant saturated colour painted on with visible and distinct brushstrokes form this particularly modernist picture that carries elements of cubism.

    The painting is housed in its original deep profile wood and gilt frame with a linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Picnic in the Park

    Sold

    SOLD

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

    A very pleasant mid 20th century oil on canvas presenting a magnificent panoramic view of a park and the city.

    The sky is blue, and the air is crisp; as 2 friends are enjoying their picnic in the park whilst admiring the stunning view that overlooks the city.

    The artist has used a vibrant colour palette, especially multiple shades of green, that imbues the work with so much life and vitality. The brushstrokes used are short and broad, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the composition is highly well-balanced – with the area of lush greenery and blue sky having equal visual weight.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

    The work housed in a robust sage green frame that complements the artwork very well. There are some marks on the frame; and as it is its original frame, its joints are slightly delicate, but nevertheless, holds the painting well.

  • The Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD

    A thoroughly picturesque and atmospheric landscape scene. Presenting a bridge over a water stream cutting through rows of houses and trees, with a stunning mountain view in the background.

    The artist wonderfully captures the setting of the sun, as it bathes the mountains, buildings and river in its warm light,  and warm yellow tinge to the sky.

    Despite the painterly and swift brushstrokes, the painting evokes an overall sense of calm, due to the stillness from the mountains and water stream.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with gilt lining. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Evening Stroll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoroughly atmospheric evening landscape scene, with people on their daily amble. Evening light has begun to set in, as the last of the daylight slowly seeps away.  For so many of us, walks out in the fresh air were what got us through this difficult lockdown period. This painting perfectly captures that slightly mellow yet comfortable feeling of being alone with oneself, with not much else to do.

    The painting is housed is in a robust gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small crack to the top inner corner (as shown in the photos), but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Exhale

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • The Room

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed modernist style painting of an abstracted interior setting, dated 1951.

    We are able to make out patio doors, a coat hanger with several coats hanging, and an assortment of objects placed on the ground. The artist has intentionally painted the objects in a very abstracted manner, focusing instead on shapes, forms, colours and outlines more than any realistic details.

    Broad and swift brushstrokes have been applied in a multi-directional and confident manner. The artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together to create a textured effect.

    The oil on canvas is housed in a gorgeous distressed frame wood, showing off its wood grain beautifully.

  • Figur

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic semi abstract oil depicting a figure within an abstracted background, painted in a cool palette of blue, white and yellow. The artist has intentionally focussed on the play of colour, choosing to leave out any realistic details or sense of perspective or context. A figure sits in the centre of the picture, and although distinct, he seems to almost be on the verge of merging into the curtain of colour behind him. This painting has a wonderful sense of playfulness and mystery about it.

    The painting is housed in a light champagne frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • After the Rain

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This fantastic oil depicts a deep and moody street scene in Stockholm. The rain has cleared but the brooding skies suggest that there is perhaps more to come. 3 figures walk down the empty road, past the colourful townhouses.

    The brushstrokes and colour palette capture the melancholy poignantly in this 1950s painting.  Multi directional strokes in a blended palette create an intensity and depth that conveys the mood of the picture.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame with gilt highlights. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of restoration (as seen in the photos) but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Friends

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An exquisite still life painting of a vase of pink flower cuttings. The artist has captured the free and wild nature of the stems, carefully including the fallen stems to achieve a sense of balance and naturalism within the picture. The colours of the background and vase mimic the leaves, allowing the contrasting pink of the flowers to stand out.

    This fine painting is housed in a robust and ornately detailed moulded gilt frame.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some minor losses to the frame moulding but this has been restored and painted over in gold (refer to photos).

  • The Cottage

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The overall atmosphere and character of this piece imbues us with thoughts of bright summer days, when everything, including the landscape itself, is full of life and activity. The vitality of the brushstrokes, so many of them large, bold and strong, enlivens the cottages and their surroundings by conveying a sense of movement – the leaves on the trees and the blades on the grass flutter lightly in the summer air.

    Beautifully presented in a uniquely designed and complementary frame, this lovely oil painting transports us to a place far away, but yet somewhere homely and familiar, where we can put our feet up and watch the squirrels busying themselves running up the trees.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This oil on panel is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a robust wooden frame that has a unique light silver coating at the front. The frame has some marks and discolouration commensurate for its age, but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An energetic oil on board depicting a richly textured landscape scene, with birds soaring freely in the open sky above lush green fields of trees.

    What’s most captivating is the visible and expressive brushstrokes, that have been executed with much gusto and confidence that we can almost feel the outpouring energy from this beautiful day.

  • Moonlit Night

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A night scene of a figure walking through a courtyard, painted in rich saturated colour. In the centre of the painting we see a brightly lit street lamp, which seems to illuminate the rest of the picture. The street and houses, painted in contrasting colour, are set against the blue night sky. The lone walking figure sets the mood of the painting beautifully.

    The painting reminds me of this poem by the poet Shalom Freedman:

    I am a quiet old man walking on a quiet night
    All is calm
    Light in my soul
    And outside
    The breeze fresh and cool
    Soothes my mind-

    I am a quiet man
    who has had much good in his life
    Walking home
    On a calm night
    When all is quiet
    And Peace in my soul

    The painting is housed in a dark grey frame with a linen slip. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • A Country Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

    Painting Size: 7 x 7.5 cm

    Overall Size: 16 x 17 cm (including frame)

    Note: The photos used are not meant to be an accurate size representation of the artwork. Please check the dimensions before purchasing.

    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.
