  • Blue Vase

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully striking mid century still life, painted in oil onto board.

    In this composition, a blue vase filled with white flowers sits alongside a smaller white vessel and a peach laying on its side. The artist has used a very vivid and rich colour palette, contrasting deep greens and oranges against the striking cobalt blue of the vase. There is a brilliant sense of harmony and balance within the picture, both in terms of colour as well as composition. The artist has used short, expressive brushstrokes for the background, giving the picture a sense of depth and space.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame that suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a minor scuff top right (as shown), but is otherwise in very good condition.

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid century still life depicting a vase of dahlias set against a patterned backdrop, executed in oil.

    The painting is well balanced as although a lightly toned pastel colour palette has been used to imbue the work with an overall sense of calm and softness,  the bold and confident brushstrokes invigorate the work with liveliness and add a lovely textured effect.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary dark gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The edges of the frame have some minor scuffs but these are not obvious unless closely inspected.

  • Still life in Colour

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    A myriad of colours, shapes, forms and lines has been used in this composition. The artist purposefully draws our attention to the fluidity of the objects and the background, using rounded and curved lines for all the individual elements, which are set against a rainbow-like band of colours. There is a distinct playfulness to this picture, in terms of subject, colour as well as shadow and light.

    This oil on board is housed a beautiful wood frame with double grey windows. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pears

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed  mid century still life in oil, painted by the established artist Eric Cederberg.

    Thick swirls of creamy paint form the background of the top half of the composition, and then below this we have a darker brown area with outlines in thick strokes that mimic the appearance of wood grain. Contrasted against this earthy palette are three bright and vivid pears, still connected to their branches and their ochre leaves. There is a beautiful balance to the horizontal composition, which Cederberg is known to be adept at achieving.

    Cederberg was a Swedish artist who made his debut on the art world in Helsingborg in 1922.  Later he participated in the  Skåne Art Association Exhibition in 1926 and the  Swedish Public Art Society exhibition in Stockholm in 1941. He is represented in several public collections in Sweden.

    This painting is housed in an absolutely gorgeous champagne frame with a wide profile. The painting has some scattered craquelure but is stable overall and is in good condition otherwise. The frame is in good vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Daffodils

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking yet homely still life in oil, painted in a modernist manner.

    A blue vase filled with daffodils sits alongside a potted plant and some fruit.  The objects sit atop a table by a windowsill, with a patterned curtain to the right side of the composition. The artist has used deep, rich, and vivid colours which have been applied to the surface with broad, and distinct brushstrokes. The artist has captured the morning light beautifully, using an array of colours to depict the effect of light against the objects, the table, the wall and the window sill. The distinctive blues, greens and yellows repeat themselves throughout the composition, creating a very harmonious and satisfying still life picture.

    This oil painting is housed in a simple silver frame which suits it very well and complements its palette. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Summer Window

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and well executed semi-abstract still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting features fauvist elements, such as the unusual juxtaposition of colours as well as the highly gestural application of paint.

    A bowl and a candelabra sit along a windowsill with 3 large window panes that look out onto a plant filled view as well as  a gate and street line. The artist has skilfully used his paint and colours sparingly, yet has managed to convey such an array of elements within his abstract and gestural strokes.

    There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which makes it such a unique statement piece.

    The painting is housed in a simple oak frame which complements it brilliantly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The wood frame has some minor scuffs.

    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.

    A large and tranquil mid-century modernist style painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A row of objects including 2 lemons and 2 bottles are lined on a window sill. The windows are depicted wide open, overseeing a panoramic view of buildings as well as the blue ocean and sky that lay beyond in the horizon.

    The objects and buildings have been defined by dark thin outlines, drawing our attention to their individual forms and shape.

  • Calla Lilies in the Moonlight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century still life in oil, painted in 1948.

    A group of fluted flowers sit within a simple cylindrical vase on a windowsill. The way in which the artist has painted the moonlight streaming in gives this painting its distinctly cinematic quality.  The glow of the flowers underneath the moonlight add to this dramatic effect. The colour palette has a hint of melancholia, where deep colours of blue and green repeat throughout the composition, from the flowers, to the vase they sit in , to the sill and to the window. With its richly romantic character and its delicately balanced composition, this mid century oil would definitely add something special and elevate the space it is hung in.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. The ornate decorative gilt frame within which it is housed suits the dramatic nature of this painting wonderfully.

  • The Vineyard

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly striking and large mid century oil landscape, painted onto canvas and framed in a simple wood frame.

    Reminiscent of compositions by the very well known Modernist painter Paul Cezanne, this painting features similar brushstrokes that are ever shifting, overlapping, and breaking apart before coming back together again. The artist has used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. He showcases his adept skills and proficiency with a palette knife, creating beautiful patterns and layers of blended and unblended colour with his tool.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Cornflowers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quaint mid century still life in oil depicting a jug filled with cornflowers and a single lemon beside it.

    The style of the painting is reminiscent of the expressive still lifes by Modernist artist Vincent Van Gogh, particularly in the background where we see systematically arranged brushstrokes. Small, thoughtfully placed dashes of colour fill the composition, and the placement of complementary colours allow the blue of the cornflowers and the yellow of the lemon to really stand out.

    Th painting has been painted on a sheet of canvas which has been mounted onto board. It is housed in an oak frame which suits it very well. There is some slight wear to the painting, commensurate for its age.  There are some scuffs and marks to the frame but this is in keeping with its overall vintage style.

  • The Snail

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and typically mid century 1960s abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

    Featuring cubist influences and reminiscent of the style of works by modernist artists such as Pablo Picasso, this abstract in oil comprises a series of shapes and forms in a deep and earthy palette of green, black, brown and yellow and white. The beauty of a work like this is that is very much subject to personal interpretation – one may be able to discern the shape of a snail, but this may not be the case for everyone, some may see a pair of acorns perhaps. Alternatively, it may be a purely abstract composition altogether, and not representative of anything in reality. We are able to just enjoy the fact that the group of shapes in contrasting colours have been carefully laid out,  encouraging our eyes to move across the canvas and take in the different pieces making up the puzzle.

    This satisfying painting is housed in its original, and very unique, mid century frame with several windows that create a wonderful optical effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    A vibrant and resplendent still life rendered in oil, painted in 1962. A nod to the Baroque, an array of fruit and a rococo style vase sit in front of a rich blue backdrop, complete with a framed painting to the top right of the picture.

    This richly coloured oil painting is housed in an ornately moulded heavy gilt frame, with intricate detailing and a linen -lined slip within. There are some minor losses to the moulding on the frame. Overall the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Pink Apples

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and brilliantly executed still life oil, painted onto canvas.

    This mid century still life has been painted with very expressive brushstrokes, capturing the vitality of the apple branch wonderfully. Despite the broad brushwork, the artist has skilfully depicted the effect of the light on the apples and the leaves, creating a sense of movement within the picture. The apple branch is set against a reddish brown background that plays off the colours of the apples and draws attention to them.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame that complements it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Bloom

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and visually striking modernist style floral still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, the artwork is full of texture and character as it depicts a blooming pot of flowers placed against a blue coloured background.

    Our eyes are immediately drawn to the flowers as their lighter shades of white and orange are contrasted against the deep and rich colour palette of dark blues greens and browns.

    The artist displays his painterly skills, using the impasto technique by applying thick layers of paint such that it stands proud from the surface and adds a textural feel, as well as confidently executing long and bold brushstrokes to creating a composition full of dynamism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a deep-profile frame with 2 linen-lined windows that pairs perfectly with the painting. There are some very small areas of paint loss on the painting but the work is otherwise in very good vintage condition.

  • Cubist Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic and well executed modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artwork depicts a group of fruits, a bowl and a pitcher laid out on a surface. Bold and distinct dark lines have been used to create these shapes and form, and a restrained palette that primarily comprises shades of blue, as well as pops of orange, green and brown have been used.

    Cubist is nature, the artist has fragmented the objects down and represented them from several angles to highlight their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.

    This oil on canvas has has a very minor spot of paint loss. It is housed in a complementary beige frame that has some areas of scuff. Nevertheless, the painting is in overall very good vintage condition.

  • Bowls & Bottles

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A seemingly simple yet very effective still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1986.

    This well-balanced still life is one that is very satisfying to look at. Two bottles and three terracotta pots sit on a table, casually and quietly. Yet their presence seems strong, solid, and unyielding.

    The whole physicality of the piece conveys this same sense of solid-ness. Painted onto thick heavy board and framed in a solid wood frame that has been painted off white, this weighty picture has a very even, matte finish that adds to its overall aesthetic.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Abstract Pots

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large, mid century oil on canvas, painted in a modernist style.

    Depicted in a semi-abstract manner, a pair of potted plants sit by what appears to be window. The composition shows the artist’s interest in conveying the physicality of objects and surrounding space, and portrays cubist influences. If we focus our attention on the pots, we notice that they have been fragmented, flattened and abstracted, reduced down to geometric outlines. By breaking the objects and its surroundings down into distinct areas and planes, the artist shows us different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space, suggesting their three dimensional form rather than trying to create an illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century deep profile gilt frame with an inner black window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. However, the frame edges have suffered paint and surface losses (as shown in photos), some of which have been repaired and restored. There is some widening to the corner joints.

  • Breakfast Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and richly textured still life composition, executed in oil in 1952.

    The artwork presents a coffee boiler, a pitcher and 3 fruits placed atop a brown table, set against a blue and brown background.

    A range of vibrant colours including orange, brown and blue have been used, invigorating the work with liveliness.

    This textured painting is filled with areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface, evoking tactility and a wonderful energetic feel to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a deep profiled gilt frame. There are some areas of minor craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) commensurate with its age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

  • Fish & Potatoes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1946.

    We have here a kitchen scene – a cook’s ingredients are laid out on a table, ready to be prepped. A real example of why still life can be such a joy, where ordinary objects are given pride of place, drawing our attention to them when they would normally have been overlooked.

    Expressionist brushstrokes are visible in this still life, reminiscent also of the still life paintings by Paul Cezanne, a renown French modernist painter.

    We particularly like the juxtaposition of the dark coloured cast iron pan against the white of the water jug.

    For us, this painting has a homely and sentimental feel – a reminder of a warm home cooked meal, and of loved ones that feed us and that are to be fed.

    This painting would look wonderful hanging in a kitchen or within a dining area.

    It is housed in a robust gilt frame with a dark border. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some very minor scuffs to its edges.

  • Blue Glass

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very elegant medium sized painting mid century floral in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple but very effective composition of flowers (lily of the valley) in a cobalt blue blown glass vase, sitting quietly on a window sill.  The artist has played with shape and form, depicting the vase of flowers against an abstracted background. The colours of the background cleverly correspond with the colours of leaves and vase, creating a wonderful sense of harmony within the picture.

    This abstracted floral oil is housed within its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs to its edges but this is in keeping with its style and age and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    Size: 50 x 45 cm (including frame)
