  • Brown & Black

    £745

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1968 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have been represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum, and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

    A group of mostly unidentifiable objects in a very restrained palette sit against a grey background. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the pops of orange and pink, which draws our eyes to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

    This original oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

    A group of mostly unidentifiable objects sit on a black and white surface, with one green ball punctuating the centre of the composition.

    The artwork depicts a tabletop setting featuring an assortment of vegetables including carrots, radish, tomatoes, and a cabbage.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

  • A Moment Left Behind

    A Moment Left Behind

    Sold

    SOLD

    A modernist style interior still life composition that captures a quiet moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

    The painting features a table with a yellow chair in the foreground, set against a background of geometric planes in muted tones. On the table, a green bottle with a red seal, a glass, and a small red bowl are arranged across a pink tablecloth. A dark green jacket is draped casually over another chair, adding an element of human presence without directly depicting a figure.

    The painting embraces a modernist approach. The perspective is slightly flattened, and the shapes of objects are reduced to their essential forms.  The artist has utilised strong but subtle structural lines to define space.

    The colour palette features predominantly muted shades of blues, greys, and pinks, which imbue the work with a calm and slightly melancholic atmosphere.

  • Blue Vessel & Pears

    Blue Vessel & Pears

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and characterful mid-century interior still life composition executed in tempera on board and dated 1973, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    This painting is a delightfully surreal take on the still life tradition, blending bold, simplified forms with quirky, dreamlike elements. The scene is playful, symbolic, and quietly strange—a fusion of everyday objects rendered with unexpected relationships and theatrical lighting.

    The central object is a bright turquoise vase, strikingly vivid against the darker tones behind it. Surrounding the vase are five stylised green pears, arranged in a semi-circle, each casting exaggerated shadows. In the background, there’s a small arched window or doorway revealing a surreal landscape of red and ochre mountains under a light sky, creating a window into a different visual world.

    The painting has a surrealist influence, reminiscent of artists like Magritte or de Chirico, where ordinary objects are placed in unusual contexts.

    Executed in tempera, the work exhibits smooth, matte surfaces with crisp, clean edges. The artist embraces a distinctly modernist, slightly naïve style: simplifying forms, minimising perspective, and emphasising bold, graphic colour fields. The brushwork is controlled and even, lending a refined clarity to each element within the composition.

    This tempera on board is presented in a gilt frame that elevates the work with a sense of classical elegance. The artwork is further enhanced by a sage green mount, which beautifully complements the warm tones of the table and pears while making the central blue vase pop even more. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The mount has marks to its bottom edge, and the frame has some slight wear to its corners but this does not  detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Narcissus I

    Narcissus I

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 1970s textile artwork is a serene and finely handwoven tapestry that captures the graceful simplicity of wildflowers through a distinctly Scandinavian modernist lens.

    Depicting a cluster of white narcissi, the composition radiates calm and balance. The flowers, with their pure white petals accented by subtle blue-grey shadows and warm orange-yellow centres, rise elegantly among slender green blades of grass. The vertical rhythm of the leaves and stems gives the piece a gentle upward motion, as if the flowers are stretching toward the light.

    The earthy brown background provides a rich contrast, grounding the composition and allowing the whites and greens to appear luminous and fresh. This natural palette — of greens, whites, and browns softened by muted tones — reflects the Nordic reverence for nature’s quiet beauty and seasonal transitions.

    Mounted on a neutral linen border, the piece exudes a tactile warmth and timeless craftsmanship. The woven texture enhances the organic quality of the design, inviting both visual and tactile appreciation.

    Elegant in its restraint and evocative in its simplicity, this 1970s tapestry embodies the Scandinavian ethos of finding harmony in nature — a handwoven celebration of purity, renewal, and understated beauty.

    This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

    Size:  35.5 x 25 cm

  • Detailed Poppy

    Detailed Poppy

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 1970s textile artwork is a graceful handwoven tapestry depicting a single red poppy in bloom — a simple yet striking celebration of natural beauty, rendered in the understated modern-folk style typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

    The tall, vertical composition enhances the elegance of the subject: a slender green stem rises confidently from the bottom edge, supporting a vibrant red flower with delicate gradations of crimson, orange, and coral. The poppy’s dark centre provides a point of contrast and visual depth, while a smaller, unopened bud gently bends alongside, adding a sense of life and continuity.

    The background is a soft, heathered mix of greys and creams, creating a tactile neutral surface that allows the colours of the flower to stand out vividly. A subtle yellow inner border frames the design, drawing the eye inward and giving the piece a quiet, sunlit warmth. Mounted on a pale linen base, the presentation feels both modern and organic.

    The overall effect is serene and timeless — a study in restraint and harmony. Each woven thread contributes to the tapestry’s handmade charm, where simplicity of form and richness of texture coexist beautifully.

    This work encapsulates the spirit of 1970s Nordic design: nature-inspired, soulful, and crafted with a deep respect for the tactile poetry of the woven medium.

    This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

This natural palette — of greens, whites, and browns softened by muted tones — reflects the Nordic reverence for nature’s quiet beauty and seasonal transitions.

    Mounted on a neutral linen border, the piece exudes a tactile warmth and timeless craftsmanship. The woven texture enhances the organic quality of the design, inviting both visual and tactile appreciation.

    Elegant in its restraint and evocative in its simplicity, this 1970s tapestry embodies the Scandinavian ethos of finding harmony in nature — a handwoven celebration of purity, renewal, and understated beauty.

    This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

  • Table in Morning Light

    Table in Morning Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century interior scene that captures the elegance of simplicity and space, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

    At its centre stands a slender pedestal table rendered with confidence: its form distilled to near abstraction, with a single dark object poised delicately upon it. The background suggests tall windows that filter pale light, dissolving into softly layered vertical strokes.

    Executed in a restrained palette of misty greys, cool whites, and muted taupe, the painting exudes a hushed, meditative calm. The artist’s brushwork is deliberate and textural: short, square dabs of paint that build rhythm and depth while maintaining a sense of quiet restraint.

    Minimal yet evocative, this work is a study in tone and balance: a poetic reflection on stillness, light, and the beauty found in pared-down form.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame which adds character to the painting.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

    Size:  81 x 66 cm (including frame)

  • Emerging Blooms

    Emerging Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and contemplative mid-century still life that presents a cluster of budding flowers rising against a softly textured ground,  executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

    The artist has captured the moment just before full bloom – tall stems stretching upward, their petals tightly furled, with hints of soft pinks and yellow-greens suggesting the promise of colour beneath the muted surface. The composition feels both organic and abstracted, with the flowers arranged in a rhythmic, almost sculptural formation.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and suggestion rather than strict realism. The forms are distilled into elongated strokes and blocky shapes, creating an atmospheric impression rather than a literal depiction. The palette is beautifully restrained: cool greys, slate blues, muted greens, and gentle off-whites dominate, punctuated by occasional touches of pink and lemon yellow at the tips of the buds.

    The brushwork is thick, tactile, and deliberate, with impasto passages that give the surface a rich physical presence. Vertical strokes define the stems and buds, while broader, more textured swaths shape the surrounding foliage and background. The overall effect is both calming and quietly dramatic.

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

  • Purple Blooms

    Purple Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD

    A refined mid-century interior still life painting that captures a bouquet of vivid purple flowers arranged in a clear glass vase, resting on a neatly folded napkin atop a coral-toned table, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The blooms radiate warmth and structure with their concentric circles and velvety textures. To the left, a cluster of green figs provides visual weight and organic contrast to the floral arrangement.

    The composition is anchored by balanced geometry – a vertical vase, crisp edges of the napkin, and the gentle horizontal plane of the table – all of which play harmoniously against the soft verticals of the window and muted wall. The style is characteristic of mid-century modernist still life, embracing quiet elegance and considered simplicity.

    The palette is restrained yet warm: dusty greens, deep purples, soft browns, and earthy coral tones. Brushwork is controlled yet expressive – blended in the background but more textured and sculptural in the rendering of the petals and fruit, offering depth and intimacy to this serene domestic scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing. 

    Size: 57.5 x 48.5 cm (including frame)

  • Stillness in Blue Light

    Stillness in Blue Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and uniquely textured mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet elegance within an abstracted domestic setting, executed in oil and ink onto board.

    At the heart of the composition is a white table rendered with gestural precision, holding a dark bowl of yellow fruit and a tall blue vase with two red flowers. The background unfolds in a layered wash of shadowy arches, pale teal walls, and textured architectural forms—suggesting a moody, introspective room awash with diffused natural light.

    The artist has used a distinctive impasto technique, building up the surface with thick, expressive brushstrokes that carve out depth and texture, particularly in the arched doorway and floor reflections. A palette of deep ultramarines, smoky greys, siennas, and muted aquas sets an evocative, almost theatrical atmosphere. Linear incisions and palette knife work add to the painting’s sculptural quality, giving a sense of movement and tactile richness.

    A quietly compelling composition that balances structure with emotion, light with shadow.

    This oil and ink on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian lined frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing. 

    Size: 54 x 64 cm (including frame)
