  • Still Life with Binoculars

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intimate interior still life painting that presents a quiet tableau of everyday objects, rendered in a restrained yet evocative modernist style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    A pair of vintage binoculars and dark-lensed sunglasses rest casually on a softly draped white cloth atop a warm wooden surface. Above the table hangs a minimalist line drawing of a vase, framed within the composition to add visual balance and conceptual layering.

    The artist has used a muted palette of cream, olive, and greyish lavender tones, lending the piece a contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate and refined, with soft gradations in the background that contrast against the sharper, sculptural treatment of the objects. Shadows and textures are subtly modulated, evoking both stillness and presence.

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

  • Beneath the Arch

    Sold

    SOLD

    An evocative semi-abstract mid-century modernist interpretation of the Viaduct in Algeciras, Spain, painted in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    A lone, abstracted figure stands beneath an arched colonnade in the foreground, gazing out across a wide promenade that curves gently toward a serene coastal horizon. In the distance, geometric blocks suggest buildings or containers, subtly evoking the industrial and maritime character of the port city.

    Modernist in its ethos, the work takes on a reductionist, semi-abstract approach, and emphasises shape and composition over fine detail. Blocks of colour form a carefully balanced arrangement, where the solidity of forms meets the openness of sky and sea. The palette is composed of a mix of muted and earthy shades, creating a harmonious interplay between land, architecture, and atmosphere.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and deliberate, with areas of subtly blended paint that enhance the sense of calm and space. Gentle tonal transitions and curved perspective lines draw the eye toward the horizon, giving the work a meditative quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame.  The painting has some scattered craquelure but the paint layer is very stable overall and in good condition.

  • By Candlelight

    £415

    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.

  • Pregnant Pears

    £500

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed still life composition by British artist Nancy Crewe, painted in oil on to board and presented beautifully in a bespoke white tray frame.

    It features four pears, arranged in a row across a horizontal composition, on a muted green and brown surface. The backdrop is a softly blended cream and ochre gradient, suggesting a calm, abstracted environment, almost dreamlike in its quietness.

    The lighting and deep shadows cast beneath the pears give the composition a sense of solidity and grounding, contrasting with the airy, abstracted background. The simplified palette—earthy greens, ochres, and whites—evokes a feeling of calm introspection.

    This work stands out for its poetic simplicity and its ability to evoke human qualities through still life.

    The oil on board is housed in a very complementary white tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    £785

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.

    Central to the work is a dark green bottle and a silver-toned chalice, rendered with thick brushstrokes and strong contouring. A pair of oranges rest in the foreground, its saturated tones adding a burst of warmth against the cool tonalities.

    The composition is built on interlocking planes of colour – muted greens and blues, yellow, and greys – forming an almost Cubist backdrop that suggests a tabletop and surrounding walls. The brushwork is expressive and textured, with visible strokes that give the surface a sculptural quality. The use of shadow and contrast imbues the otherwise abstracted objects with weight and presence.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight wear to its edges as shown, but is in good condition overall.

  • Pear Harvest

    £885

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling and characterful still life composition executed in oil on board and dated 1964, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The composition features four pears clustered in an intimate arrangement, their irregular forms casting deep shadows on a softly textured tabletop. Rendered in thick, deliberate strokes, the pears exhibit a range of green and golden tones, highlighting the subtle variations in ripeness and light. The background is divided into muted blocks of beige and muted pink, adding a sense of modernist abstraction while allowing the forms to remain grounded and tangible.

    The brushwork is notably expressive, with impasto applications lending a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the fruit and surface. Each pear is defined not by rigid outlines but by nuanced tonal shifts and textural contrasts, embodying the artist’s sensitivity to both form and mood. The overall effect is contemplative and earthy, inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects,

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but is in good condition overall.

The fruit appears loosely arranged on a white and mauve tablecloth, set against a richly layered background of deep blues and soft purples.

    The artist has used a vivid and and lively colour palette, with saturated tones of green, burnt orange, rich blue and violet playing off one another to create both harmony and contrast.

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet compelling mid-century modernist interior scene executed in a geometric abstraction style and muted tonal harmony, painted in oil onto board.

    The composition features a simplified domestic arrangement –  a wooden chair, a tabletop with ceramic vessels –  all rendered in blocky, interlocking planes. The artist’s approach flattens space, drawing influence from Cubism, while retaining the warmth and familiarity of a lived-in interior.

    The muted palette consists of greens, blues, and browns, evoking a calm, contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is assertive and sculptural, with short, directional strokes that build texture and form without over-modelling. Each object is distilled to its essential volume, balancing abstraction with recognisability.

  • The Artist’s Worktop

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very well executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil on board.

    This painting is a still life composition featuring an arrangement of bottles, jars, and vessels on a tabletop. It is probably an artist’s table , as we can see used paint brushes and palette knives in the bottles.  Rendered in a loose, painterly style, it captures the textures and forms of everyday objects with expressive brushwork and a subdued yet rich colour palette.

    The colour palette is primarily earthy tones—browns, muted greens, and soft blues—contrasted against a neutral grey-beige background. The light source is subtle, creating soft highlights and shadows, giving volume and depth to the bottles. The strokes are confident and expressive, emphasising form over detail, typical of a modern impressionist or post-impressionist approach.

    The atmosphere is calm and introspective, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty in simple, overlooked objects. The painting carries a sense of quiet domesticity and artistic reflection, possibly referencing the workspace of a painter or craftsperson.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful hessian lined frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Scalloped Basket

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vivid and striking mid century modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting is a semi-abstract still life with bold shapes and expressive brushwork. It features a dark bowl or basket with a scalloped white rim sitting on a patterned, richly coloured surface, possibly a tablecloth. Next to the bowl are two round yellow and green fruits, likely a lemon and an apple.

    The tablecloth has a fragmented, mosaic-like design in deep reds, blues, and blacks, creating strong visual texture and depth. The bowl or dish dominates the left side of the composition, with jagged white accents that contrast sharply with the dark background. The fruits on the lower right provide a pop of colour with their bright yellows and greens. The background wall is pale, divided into two contrasting patches of cream and olive green, adding to the geometric structure of the piece.

    The painting is expressionist in style, with loose, energetic brushstrokes and abstracted forms. It emphasises contrast—between light and dark, soft and sharp, warm and cool tones. The mood is introspective and slightly mysterious, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene beyond its literal objects.

    This oil on board is housed in a simple wood frame which draws attention to the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Interior & View

    £695

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist still life oil painting that captures a calm interior moment with a strong sense of geometry and structure, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The composition depicts a sculptural white chalice and a cluster of green apples arranged on a deep-set window ledge, overlooking a lush countryside scene.

    The composition is both minimal and expressive, with bold simplifications of form and an emphasis on flat planes of colour. The palette is rich and harmonious – cool greens and blues dominate the landscape beyond the window, while warm yellows and lime greens bring depth and contrast to the foreground. The sky is rendered in a serene powder blue, adding an atmosphere of quiet clarity.

    The brushwork is confident and textured, with visible strokes that provide a tactile quality to the foliage and surfaces. The artist has used broad, sweeping motions for the background trees, and more sculptural, deliberate application for the chalice and fruit. The overall effect is one of elegant stillness, where the boundary between inside and outside is both physical and painterly.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks present.

  • Shadowed Huts

    £955

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist oil composition that distills an architectural scene into a series of angular forms and geometric planes, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

    The composition appears to depict clustered huts rendered in an abstracted, cubist manner – each structure fragmented into simplified blocks of light and dark. The overlapping rooftops and stark verticals guide the eye across a village that feels both familiar and surreal.

    The palette is moody and minimal, dominated by deep charcoal, blue, and cream tones with hints of peach. These shades add an atmospheric quietude to the scene, suggesting dusk.

    Thick, directional brushstrokes carved into impasto layers give the painting a tactile depth. The artist’s hand is evident in the textured surface, with strokes laid down in rhythmic, almost architectural patterns. The style draws on both Cubist abstraction and the expressive materiality of mid-century modernism, offering a bold yet contemplative visual experience.

    fusing realism with expressive, impasto brushwork, there is an emphasis on form and materiality rather than fine detail. The brushstrokes are thick and confident, creating dynamic surface movement and a palpable sense of texture.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

    The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

     

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has water marks and wear across its inner border, and has some light scuffing present as well.

    Size: 29.5 x 37 cm (including frame)

  • Still Life in Angles

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century still life painting that presents an abstract yet structured arrangement of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board.

    A white pitcher, a brass candleholder with a partially burned candle, and a blue-handled pan are depicted resting atop a dark wooden table. The background is muted green, providing a subdued contrast to the bold, simplified forms.

    The painting embraces a Cubist-inspired style, characterised by geometric abstraction and angular distortions. The objects are deconstructed into sharp-edged planes, lending the composition a sculptural quality.

    The colour palette is earthy and restrained, featuring shades of green, beige, blue, and brown, with accents of gold in the candleholder. The brushstrokes are expressive, adding depth and a sense of movement to the otherwise still arrangement.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 39.5 x 47.5 cm (including frame)

  • Pitcher & Candlestick

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    This painting is a still life composition created in an impressionistic or post-impressionistic style, featuring a tabletop scene with a pitcher, fruit, a candlestick, and other everyday objects. The artist has used bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich earthy colour palette, with warm browns, ochres, greens, and muted yellows.

    The light source from the left side casts soft shadows on the tablecloth, enhancing the sense of depth and texture. The background features a wooden interior with vertical strokes, adding a sense of structure and warmth. The painterly quality of the piece suggests movement and emotion, reminiscent of Cézanne’s approach to still life, with objects slightly distorted yet carefully arranged to create harmony.

    The thick application of paint and visible brushstrokes add to the tactile quality of the painting, making it feel both intimate and dynamic. The scene captures a moment of quiet simplicity, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty in everyday objects.

    The painting is presented in a really lovely wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 69 x 58 cm (including frame)

  • Interior with Painting

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and uplifting mid-century modernist painting that showcases a richly decorated interior scene, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition features a still life arrangement in the foreground and a vibrant seaside painting adorning the wall. The scene is anchored by a patterned tablecloth draped over a round table, which holds a bowl of fruit, a ceramic dish, and a guitar. Surrounding the table are striped upholstered chairs, adding an inviting atmosphere to the space. In the background, a framed painting of a lively harbour with colourful sailboats adds a lively quality to the scene.

    Executed in a Fauvist-influenced, post-impressionist style, the painting embraces bold colour choices, flattened perspective, and an expressive, spontaneous approach to form. The composition plays with pattern and contrast, reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s interior scenes, where objects and décor hold as much visual weight as the background elements.

    The brushwork is lively and gestural, with painterly strokes adding texture and vibrancy. The artist has used a loose, expressive technique, giving the composition an energetic and dynamic feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.

    Size: 57 x 45cm (including frame)
