    Objects in Conversation

    Sold

    SOLD

    A calm and contemplative mid-century still life painting that presents a pared-back arrangement of everyday objects rendered with a quiet elegance, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    At the centre sits a pale green bowl, its rounded form contrasted by the angular geometry of a brown-toned box to the right, in which rests a slender stick of darker pigment. Behind them looms a tall, shadowy bottle form, its deep black silhouette anchoring the composition against a softly tonal grey background.

    The artist has worked with a restrained yet evocative palette: muted greens, brown, black, cream, and steel blues. The colours are applied in broad, confident blocks, with thick, textural brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand and lend a sculptural weight to the surface. Subtle tonal modulations in the background add depth while maintaining a minimalist sensibility.

    Stylistically, the work reflects mid-century modernist tendencies – simplicity of form, clarity of shape, and an emphasis on the quiet beauty of the ordinary.

    This oil on board is beautifully presented in a characterful wooden frame with a ribbed pattern, and finished in a light cream with muted gilt edging. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a slight widening to corners but it is in a stable and good condition overall.

  • Red Chair by the Fireplace

    Red Chair by the Fireplace

    Sold

    SOLD

    A quietly atmospheric mid-century interior scene depicting a vivid red chair positioned beside a muted-toned fireplace, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The composition captures a moment of stillness, where the bold hue of the chair punctuates an otherwise subdued setting. The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, greys, and soft greens, allowing the red to command attention and become the focal point of the painting.

    Executed in a characteristically mid-century modernist style, the work reflects a minimalist approach to form and detail. The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, revealing the texture of the paint and the artist’s deliberate layering technique. There is a clear sensitivity to balance and geometry, with the verticals of the wall and fireplace contrasting against the angled legs and curves of the chair.

    Muted grey-greens and taupes dominate the background, providing a calm, contemplative atmosphere, while the saturated crimson of the chair injects energy and emotional warmth into the composition. The interplay between shadow and light, and the tactile surface of the paint, lend the piece a quiet intimacy that evokes both solitude and comfort.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with light oak grain and a gilt border, which pairs very well with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Cubist Tabletop

    Cubist Tabletop

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed and striking mid-century cubist still life that presents an arrangement of objects distilled into bold, geometric forms, painted in oil onto canvas.

    At the centre, a single red rose rises sharply from a faceted brown vase, its angular green leaves echoing the crystalline structure of the surrounding elements. Beside it, a vivid blue jug rendered in interlocking planes stands with sculptural presence, while a small angular fruit or object rests upon a two-toned plate in the foreground.

    The composition is a masterful exercise in cubist reduction, where natural forms are translated into prismatic shapes. The background is similarly fragmented into overlapping planes of muted lilac, teal, and yellow, lending the scene a sense of depth and dynamism while maintaining strict flatness.

    The palette balances earthy browns and greys with vibrant accents of cobalt blue, emerald green, and a sharp pop of crimson. The brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, applied in clean, even planes of colour without visible texture, emphasising structure over gesture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited frame with an outer linen border and an inner cream window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame does have some scuffing but is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Lemons & Avocados

    Lemons & Avocados

    Sold

    SOLD

    A quietly sophisticated modernist still life painting that presents a simple yet striking arrangement of avocados and lemons resting upon a softly textured linen surface, executed in oil onto board and dated 1981.

    The composition is understated but confident – the deep green of the avocados contrasts beautifully with the bright, citrus yellow of the lemons, creating a gentle rhythm across the surface.

    Executed in a loose, painterly style, the brushstrokes are visible and intentional, lending a tactile quality to both fruit and cloth. The background is rendered in muted, layered tones of olive and slate green, applied in broad strokes that dissolve into abstraction, giving the foreground objects greater presence and weight.

    The colour palette is restrained yet expressive – earthy avocados anchoring the composition, while the lemons provide a burst of light and warmth, subtly illuminating the off-white linen beneath them. There is a sense of quiet domestic elegance, a celebration of everyday forms through a modernist lens.

    This oil on board is elegantly presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner white border that highlights the composition beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, while the frame shows some age-related marks.

    Linnaea Flowers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This 1973 textile artwork is a beautifully handwoven tapestry that captures the gentle elegance of nature through stylised floral abstraction — a hallmark of Scandinavian textile design from the era.

    Depicting a cluster of bell-shaped flowers, the composition features tall, arching green stems crowned with soft pink blossoms that seem to nod delicately, as if swaying in a quiet breeze. The flowers are rendered in subtle tonal variations of pink and rose, lending them depth and warmth, while the leaves at the base are woven in cool greens and blue-greens, grounding the composition with solidity and balance.

    The background alternates between deep brown and navy vertical stripes, a striking yet understated contrast that gives rhythm and structure to the design. This interplay of earthy and dusky tones allows the pastel blooms to glow softly, adding a sense of serenity and intimacy to the piece.

    Mounted on a natural linen backing, the tapestry exudes both simplicity and sophistication — a tactile celebration of handcraft and nature.

  • Parasol Afternoon

    Parasol Afternoon

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and softly abstracted contemporary still life painting that captures a quiet outdoor moment beneath a wide parasol, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2008.

    A rounded umbrella dominates the left side of the composition, rendered in loose, hazy tones of cream, peach and lavender, its form outlined with gentle linear markings. To the right, a simple round table holds a jug and a teacup, their shapes stylised yet recognisable, evoking an unhurried afternoon scene.

    Executed in a semi-abstract style, the painting blends figuration with atmospheric colour fields. The outlines are delicately sketched, allowing the objects to float between definition and suggestion, giving the work a poetic, dreamlike quality.

    The artist has used a beautifully muted palette – soft apricots, washed blues, pale turquoise, blush pinks, and hints of sage and lavender. These colours melt into one another with a powdery, sun-bleached quality that suggests warmth and light.

    The brushstrokes are textured yet gentle, with layered pigment that gives the canvas a tactile, almost fresco-like surface. The transitions between colours are blended in a way that feels effortless and airy, while fine linear markings define just enough structure to anchor the composition.

    The artist has thoughtfully used an uplifting colour palette, drawing our attention to the form of the apples, as their striking richer shades of red and green with hints of blue contrasts against the lighter backdrop comprising a spectrum of yellow, and white and orange.

    Through the masterful use of the contrasting shades, as well as seemingly unrestrained yet precise brushstrokes, the three-dimensional qualities of the fruits are enhanced and the overall composition is full of character.

  • Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

    Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid-century cubist painting that presents a fragmented figure seated beside a simple pedestal table holding a cluster of rounded fruit forms, painted in oil onto board.

    In this striking composition, the human form is reduced to angular planes and intersecting facets, the face and body articulated through a network of geometric shapes in pale cream, brown, and muted green tones, accented by deep blacks. The table and fruit echo this cubist language, with rounded grapes and apples broken into overlapping, flat colour areas.

    The style is distinctly cubist, emphasising structural simplification and the interplay of light and shadow through geometric abstraction. The artist balances areas of dense black with softer sage greens, creating a rhythmic tension across the composition. Brushstrokes are firm, deliberate, and textured, with the layered paint adding subtle depth to the otherwise flat geometry.

    The restrained palette – creams, greens, blacks, and teal-blues – contributes to the painting’s harmony, while the angular construction of the figure and still life demonstrates the artist’s focus on form and design rather than naturalistic representation.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary heavy solid wood frame with an oak-toned finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting bears the influence of post-Impressionism, with a strong emphasis on form and colour over fine detail. The palette is warm and inviting – burnt oranges, earthy browns, and greens are offset by the cool blues of the background.

    Through the masterful use of the colour gradient technique employing contrasting shades, as well as expressive and painterly brushstrokes, the three-dimensional objects are enhanced and the overall composition is full of character.

  • Poppies in Green Vase

    Poppies in Green Vase

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century still life painting that captures the quiet elegance of two vivid red poppies, their stems leaning delicately from a green vase, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a geometric backdrop of cool-toned rectangles in teal, turquoise, and slate, the flowers appear both fragile and bold, their bright scarlet petals sharply contrasting with the subdued, structured background.

    Executed in a modernist style, the composition is pared back and minimal, yet highly expressive. The brushstrokes are textured and layered, giving the surface a tactile, almost woven quality. The artist uses flat planes of colour and simple forms, yet allows slight irregularities in line and texture to introduce warmth and humanity to the structured setting.

    The palette balances the cool serenity of aquas, teals, and muted blues with the arresting vibrancy of the red blooms. The lime vase adds a playful accent, anchoring the composition with brightness. The overall mood is contemplative and quietly joyful – a celebration of beauty in restraint, and of the way colour alone can evoke emotion.

  • Silhouette in Shadow

    Silhouette in Shadow

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century figurative oil painting that presents an enigmatic image of a figure cloaked in shadow, executed in oil onto canvas

    The subject, defined by broad, gestural brushstrokes, is rendered in deep blacks and beige, wearing a dark coat and a brimmed hat that casts an air of mystery. The anonymity of the face  – left intentionally undefined – imbues the piece with a sense of intrigue and ambiguity, leaving space for the viewer’s own interpretation.

    The background is composed of layered tones of cool grey-blues and muted teals, painted with bold, sweeping strokes that create a textured, almost turbulent atmosphere. The contrast between the shadowy figure and the lighter, restless background emphasises the sense of isolation and presence.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is raw and unrefined, conveying mood and form over detail. The palette is restrained yet powerful, relying on dark neutrals against cold, subdued hues to evoke both drama and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a white-painted wooden frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint loss at its left side.

    Executed with bold, textured brushstrokes and areas of impasto, the surface has a tactile quality that emphasises the painter’s hand.

    SOLD.

    A charming still life that captures a serene arrangement of potted plants basking in the glow of daylight streaming through a tall-paned window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

The foliage, rendered in loose yet deliberate strokes, reaches upward in arcs, suggesting gentle movement and vitality.

  • The Striped Cloth

    The Striped Cloth

    Sold

    SOLD

    An vibrant mid-century interior still life painting,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a warmly lit domestic scene, featuring a hanging terracotta planter with cascading green foliage, a deep green bowl, and a striped textile draped casually across a tabletop. The backdrop is a moody, textured wash of blue, suggesting a window or a darkened interior wall, offering contrast to the brighter foreground.

    Executed in a modernist style, the composition emphasises flat planes of colour and simplified forms. The palette is rich but controlled – yellow, navy blue, forest green, and earthy reds dominate the scene. The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and has left traces of underpainting and canvas texture visible, giving the work a spontaneous, tactile quality. The interplay between geometric shapes and organic curves imbues this still life with both structure and intimacy.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, but is in good condition overall.

  • The White Vase

    The White Vase

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century still life painting that presents a bold, modernist interpretation of a tabletop arrangement, executed in oil onto board and dated 1963 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

    A tall, cylindrical white vase punctuates the centre of the composition, its simplified form rendered with thick impasto and heavy, deliberate brushstrokes. From the vase emerges a small bouquet of abstracted flowers in deep green, with accents of golden yellow and a striking touch of cobalt blue, all set against a muted grey-white background.

    The composition is built around angular planes and geometric contrasts, with blocks of black, orange, and white forming the suggestion of a table surface, napkin, or cloth beneath the vase. The artist has stripped the subject down to its essential shapes, emphasising structure and rhythm rather than naturalistic detail.

    The palette is restrained yet impactful, dominated by whites, greys, and blacks, punctuated by the warm mustard yellows and cool flashes of blue. The brushwork is textured and confident, with layered strokes that create depth and a tactile surface quality.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary sleek white frame with an inner silver border.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fruit & Earthenware

    Fruit & Earthenware

    Sold

    SOLD

    A poised and balanced mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This composition features a rustic earthenware jug and a tall, narrow-necked bottle set against a stark surface of beige and muted blue. Clustered around the vessels are three pears and a golden onion, their organic forms softened with angular brushwork.

    Deliberate black outlines and the creative use of negative space frame each object with bold confidence – adding definition to the respective forms.

    The palette is subdued and earthy. The background is confidently blocked out in moody hues of browns and blues, evoking a quiet, introspective atmosphere. The brushstrokes are deliberate and lightly textural, with a visible painterly hand that flattens space while emphasising structure and form.

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

  • Geraniums & Jugs

    Geraniums & Jugs

    Sold

    SOLD

    A delicate and elegant mid-century interior still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    At the heart of the composition is a potted geranium, its blushing pink blossoms and lush green foliage rendered in thick, expressive strokes that suggest the fleeting warmth of sunlight filtering into the room.

    The flower is flanked by two pitchers – one an earthy brown and the other a cool, light pale blue. The background is divided into blocks of pastel yellows, muted purples, and soft aquas, creating a subtly abstracted interior that emphasises tonal harmony and light.

    Painted with loose yet deliberate brushwork, the surface reveals the artist’s hand in every sweep and dab, imbuing the scene with movement.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary  white-painted distressed style wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick at its left corner but is in very good condition overall.

  • Singing by the Fire

    Singing by the Fire

    Sold

    SOLD

    A fun and joyful composition of an interior home setting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1982.

    This charming narrative painting features an array of details for us to explore, from the patterns of the rugs and walls, to the curtains and objects on the walls and the tiled stove with a fire.

    A family of adults and young children are sat by a table laid out with drinks. They appear to have a song book in their hand, as they listen and sing to the music played by the musician with the accordion at the right foreground of the painting.

    The artist has used a Naïve style, infusing the painting with an aura of playful charm as well as rich colours. There is sincerity to its simplicity, making it an enjoyable piece to slowly take in and explore with its wonderful array of details and uplifting feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs on its gilt border.

  • Summer Fruits, Summer Flowers

    Summer Fruits, Summer Flowers

    Sold

    SOLD

    A bright and cheerful modernist style still life, painted onto canvas.

The palette is restrained, focusing on white and mustard, with pops of pink, red and purple. The paint application is textured, giving the piece its painterly quality. The painting is a homely reminder of bright sunny mornings, and will certainly cheer up an interior space.

    The painting is unframed but it has white painted sides so there is no need for framing unless preferred. The painting is in very good condition.
