• The Striped Room

    The Striped Room

    £1,200

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modern still life painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Bengt Orup (1916–1996), whose works are held in major international collections including Moderna Museet and National Museum in Stockholm, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Tessin Institute in Paris, and many more.

    The composition presents two sculptural black vessels arranged before a window. One holds a radiant sunflower rendered in a bold, simplified form, while the other cradles stylised fruit, depicted as faceted geometric shapes. Through the window behind them, a small red and green landscape appear, adding a quiet narrative element that contrasts with the graphic interior setting. Framing the scene are striking red-and-white horizontal stripes, creating a rhythmic backdrop that energises the composition and draws the eye inward.

    Orup’s modernist approach reduces objects to strong geometric silhouettes and carefully balanced shapes. The palette is vivid yet controlled: deep black vessels anchor the composition against bright sunflower yellow, warm reds, fresh greens and cool greys. Brushstrokes are deliberate and confident, with smooth, flat planes of colour and subtle texture that emphasise clarity, structure and design.

    The result is a playful yet sophisticated still life that merges interior, landscape and abstraction which are hallmarks of Orup’s distinctive mid-century visual language.

    This oil on board is presented in a warm gilt wooden frame with an inner border, which beautifully complements the painting’s bold palette. The painting has some light craquelure present to its paint surface, but it is very stable and consistent with the age of the work, and does not detract from the overall visual appeal.

  • Balloons in the Park

    Balloons in the Park

    Sold

    SOLD

    An enchanting mid-century modern painting that captures a lively moment in a city park, centred around a figure holding a magnificent cluster of colourful balloons, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Several figures gather along the pathway beneath tall trees, creating a gentle sense of movement and everyday life within the urban setting. A warm-toned brick building rises in the background, grounding the scene in a quiet city square.

    The composition is dominated by the striking bouquet of balloons at the centre, painted in lively tones of red, coral, orange, yellow, and soft pink. These bright colours stand in beautiful contrast to the deeper greens of the surrounding foliage and the earthy browns and greys of the park landscape.

    The painting features thick impasto and expressive brushwork. The foliage is built with bold textured strokes, while the balloons are formed from rounded dabs of paint that give them a lively, almost sculptural presence. The figures are rendered loosely, allowing the colour and atmosphere of the scene to take focus.

    The result is a warm and nostalgic composition that celebrates a simple moment of joy where children and passers-by are drawn to a burst of colour in the heart of the park.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame finished in a deep forest green. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Courtyard in Soft Light

    Courtyard in Soft Light

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil mid-century modern painting that beautifully captures a moment of everyday life, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Reuben Hedin (1905-1985), whose artworks have been represented in the Växjö Museum, Vetlanda Museum, Kalmar Museum of Art, and Småland Art Archive in Sweden.

    The composition depicts a row of geometric sunlit houses with warm terracotta roofs, arranged in a quiet courtyard-like space. In the foreground, a solitary figure stands beneath a clothesline, arms raised as she hangs freshly washed garments to dry. The small human presence adds a gentle narrative moment, bringing warmth and life to the otherwise architectural setting.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the scene emphasises simplified forms and strong architectural geometry. The houses are constructed from clean planes and angular shapes, with stepped walls, chimneys, and rooflines forming an almost abstract rhythm across the composition. Perspective is flattened and stylised, allowing the interplay of shapes and light to become the central visual language of the work.

    The colour palette is soft yet striking. Terracotta reds and warm peach tones dominate the rooftops and upper facades, while creamy whites and muted beige walls catch the sunlight. Cool greens and soft blue-greys define the courtyard ground and shaded areas, creating a pleasing contrast between warmth and shadow. The subtle shifts in tone suggest late afternoon light drifting across the buildings.

    Brushwork is controlled and smooth, with carefully blended surfaces that give the painting a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Edges are crisp yet softened by delicate transitions of light and shade, allowing architectural forms to appear solid yet serene. The artist uses gentle tonal gradients rather than heavy texture, reinforcing the quiet stillness of the scene.

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

  • Golden Fields

    Golden Fields

    £555

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene mid-century modern landscape that presents a cluster of farmhouses set against expansive, sun-washed fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

    The composition centres on a group of simplified farmhouses: white-walled structures with gently sloping roofs – arranged in quiet dialogue with one another. Beyond them, bands of cultivated land stretch horizontally toward a dark green tree line and a pale, open sky, creating a sense of stillness and breadth.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and clarity. Architectural forms are pared back to essential geometric shapes, with clean rooflines and block-like walls that emphasise structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the buildings and landscape to sit harmoniously within layered planes of colour rather than deep spatial recession.

    The colour palette is warm and restrained. Soft browns and golden yellows dominate the fields, evoking late afternoon light, while muted sage and olive greens define the distant horizon. The buildings are rendered in creamy whites and pale neutrals, their roofs in earthy taupes and browns. The sky, a gentle wash of pale greenish-blue, enhances the tranquil atmosphere and unifies the composition.

    Brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, with broad, even applications of paint that create smooth expanses of colour. Subtle textural variations are visible across the surface, lending depth without disrupting the painting’s calm rhythm. The overall effect is one of serene balance : a landscape scene distilled into harmonious shapes and tones.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is presented in good vintage condition. There is a small loss visible to the upper middle area and another to the bottom left, as well as very small areas of craquelure present, consistent with age. However, these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the work.

    Size: 48.5 x 108 cm (including frame)

  • Where the Sky Rests

    Where the Sky Rests

    £810

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century modern landscape depicting a sparse rural settlement set beneath an expansive, cloud-laden sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two low, dark-roofed cottages sit quietly along the horizon line, their whitewashed walls rendered in simplified, almost geometric forms. A solitary vertical pole punctuates the composition, while angular planes of earth in the foreground lead the eye gently inward, suggesting embankments or cultivated land.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition embraces minimalism and balance. The buildings are reduced to essential shapes, their proportions slightly flattened, creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Space is expressed through broad horizontal bands – sky, land, and foreground – rather than through intricate detail, giving the work its serene, architectural clarity.

    The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by soft sand tones and deep browns. The sky is a subtle wash of pale grey with faint hints of green and blue, lending the scene a quiet, overcast luminosity. Dark charcoal accents in the rooftops and vertical elements provide contrast and anchor the composition.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint that emphasise shape over texture. Areas of soft blending in the sky contrast with the more defined, deliberate edges of the buildings and landforms. The overall effect is one of stillness and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is well presented in a well-suited wood frame with a grey-brown finish and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Patience of Form

    The Patience of Form

    £895

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a stylised female nude seated in a contemplative pose,  executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The figure is simplified into soft, sculptural forms, her facial features intentionally omitted, allowing the focus to rest on shape, balance and presence rather than identity. One arm bends gently at the elbow, while the body folds into itself with an elegant rhythm, creating a quiet tension between strength and vulnerability.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the work embraces abstraction without fully abandoning figuration. The anatomy is reduced to rounded, almost cubist volumes, with limbs and torso articulated through blocks of colour rather than strict line. The proportions are subtly exaggerated, particularly in the thighs and hips, giving the composition a grounded, monumental quality despite its intimate scale.

    The palette is cool and harmonious, dominated by muted blues, soft greys and chalky whites. Gentle blush pinks and earthy browns warm the lower half of the figure, while small accents of deeper blue and rust add visual punctuation. The pale, textured background enhances the sense of stillness, allowing the figure to emerge almost like a fresco against a washed wall.

    Brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Loose, visible strokes define contour and volume, with areas of dry-brushed texture that lend the surface a tactile, slightly weathered character. Edges remain soft rather than sharply delineated, reinforcing the painting’s quiet, introspective mood.

    This large oil on canvas is well presented in a wide-profile wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Clocks & Chimes

    Clocks & Chimes

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quietly meditative 20th century abstraction from 1971 that distils the essence of time and rhythm into a refined visual language of line and tone, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The canvas is divided horizontally: a calm expanse of warm, creamy white above, and below it, layered bands of muted browns and soft taupes that read like measured intervals or tonal reverberations.

    Two linear elements punctuate the stillness. A slender yellow arc rises gently from the lower edge, its curve suggesting cyclical motion and the continuous sweep of time. To the right, a vertical red line edged subtly in yellow stands upright and precise, like the strike of a bell or the steady mark of an hour. Together, they evoke both movement and resonance: the visual equivalent of a clock’s face and its chime.

    The style is characteristically mid-century in its clarity and reduction. Forms are simplified to essential gestures, and depth is created through tonal layering rather than perspective. The palette is warm and harmonious: creamy neutrals and earthy browns provide a grounded field, while the yellow and red introduce quiet luminosity and rhythm.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with matte, even applications that emphasise colour fields over texture. The horizontal bands are softly blended, creating a sense of gentle gradation,  like sound fading into silence,  while the linear accents remain crisp and deliberate.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a champagne toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown.

  • Windowlight Mosaic

    Windowlight Mosaic

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A radiant mid-century composition that balances abstraction with suggestion, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting evokes the feeling of light filtering through a window onto a lively garden. Fragmented planes and overlapping shapes hint at foliage, architectural lines and perhaps a vase or tabletop, yet the subject remains intentionally fluid – an interplay between interior and exterior, structure and nature.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work embraces geometric simplification and flattened perspective. Forms are broken into angular shards and soft-edged blocks, arranged in a rhythmic grid-like composition that feels both ordered and spontaneous. There is a gentle Cubist influence in the faceting of shapes, yet the palette keeps the mood light and optimistic rather than analytical.

    The colour palette is fresh and luminous: powder blue and sky tones form a cool foundation, layered with warm buttery yellows and soft apricot hues. Accents of sage green, lavender, and deeper violet punctuate the composition, while subtle flashes of pink add vibrancy. The harmonious contrast between warm and cool tones creates a sense of depth without relying on traditional modelling.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet restrained. Paint is applied in smooth, deliberate layers, with visible directional strokes that follow the geometry of each shape. The surface retains a soft, matte texture, enhancing the tactile quality of the canvas while maintaining clarity of form.

    Overall, the piece captures the optimistic spirit of mid-century abstraction: light-filled, balanced, and quietly joyful.

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

  • Lavender & Fruit

    Lavender & Fruit

    £515

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A joyful radiant mid-century interior still life that captures a sunlit window scene in full bloom, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a tall turquoise glass jug brims with freshly cut lavender, its lilac blossoms arching gently outward. Resting beside it on the windowsill are three ripe fruit, their warm red and golden tones offering a rich counterpoint to the cool palette that surrounds them. Beyond the glass, lush greenery presses against the pane, suggesting a garden just beyond the interior space.

    Executed in a lively, expressive mid-century style, the forms are loosely defined yet confidently structured, with simplified shapes and a focus on colour harmony over strict realism. The vertical and horizontal lines of the window frame anchor the scene, creating a subtle geometric structure within the organic abundance of foliage and flowers.

    The colour palette is fresh and invigorating. Layers of turquoise, teal and aqua dominate the setting, punctuated by flashes of lemon yellow and spring green in the background foliage. The lavender blooms are rendered in soft purples, dusty pinks and touches of white, while the fruit introduce warmth through saturated reds and amber highlights. This interplay of cool and warm tones gives the painting a dynamic, sunlit energy.

    Brushstrokes are bold, textured and gestural, applied with visible confidence. Thick impasto passages define the petals and leaves, while broader, sweeping strokes animate the background. The paint surface has a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and enhance the sense of immediacy and movement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Painterly Harvest

    Painterly Harvest

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and painterly mid-century abstract still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This composition captures a cluster of fruit, most prominently a glowing red apple and luminous yellow pears, arranged against a softly abstracted ground. The forms are simplified and gently rounded, their silhouettes emerging from a haze of colour rather than precise line, giving the work a poised yet spontaneous quality.

    Executed in a modernist idiom, the painting balances figuration with abstraction. The fruit appears anchored by a dark, gestural base suggesting a tabletop, while the surrounding space dissolves into broad planes of muted grey, sage, and cream. A bold field of muted crimson in the upper right adds structure and counterpoint, framing the brighter central forms.

    The palette is both earthy and expressive: warm reds, golden yellows, and fresh green are set against cool blue accents and smoky neutrals. This interplay creates depth without relying on strict perspective.

    Brushstrokes are confident and painterly: at times thick and textured, at others scraped back or thinned to reveal underlying layers. Areas of visible underpainting and energetic, gestural marks lend movement and vitality, embodying the mid-century fascination with colour, balance, and expressive surface.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Fishing Trawler in Black

    Fishing Trawler in Black

    Sold

    SOLD

    A characterful naïve style contemporary painting depicting a fishing trawler moving steadily across softly cresting waters, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The vessel sits confidently against a muted sky, its twin russet sails raised and a pale plume of smoke drifting from the central funnel. The scene feels both purposeful and serene – a working boat captured in a moment of quiet passage.

    Rendered in a distinctive naïve style, the composition embraces flattened perspective and simplified geometry. The trawler is reduced to bold, clearly defined shapes, with rigging drawn in fine linear accents and the hull marked crisply with its identification number. The sea is arranged in rhythmic horizontal bands, suggesting motion without disrupting the calm symmetry of the composition.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. The deep black hull is offset by a clean cream stripe, while the warm, earthy brown sails introduce richness and balance. Cool maritime blues define the water, layered in soft tonal shifts with pale white highlights tracing the wave crests. The sky is painted in chalky greys, punctuated by gently stylised clouds that enhance the painting’s storybook charm.

    Brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with flat, even applications of colour strengthening the graphic clarity of the vessel. Subtle texture is visible in the sky and sea, adding quiet depth while maintaining the work’s decorative simplicity.

    This oil on board is presented in a dark wooden frame with a inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • Fishing Trawler in Green

    Fishing Trawler in Green

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming naïve style contemporary painting depicting a green fishing trawler navigating softly rolling seas, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The vessel cuts a steady horizontal line across the composition, its upright mast, taut rigging and gently billowing sail lending a quiet sense of purpose and movement. A plume of pale smoke rises from the red funnel, drifting into a softly clouded sky.

    Rendered in a characteristically naïve style, the painting embraces flattened perspective and simplified geometry. The boat is presented in clean profile, its forms reduced to essential shapes and crisp outlines. Proportion and detail are intentionally pared back, allowing the bold silhouette and balanced composition to take precedence over realism.

    The palette is both restrained and striking. The hull’s rich green contrasts beautifully against the cool, powdery blues of the sea. The funnel’s deep red, accented with cream and black bands, introduces warmth and graphic punch, echoed in the earthy brown sail and cabin details. The sky is painted in muted, chalky neutrals, enhancing the maritime calm.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat areas of even colour defining the vessel. The water is animated by rhythmic, horizontal strokes and white crests that suggest gentle motion without disrupting the painting’s serene tone.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Humpback Whale at Sea

    Humpback Whale at Sea

    £480

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and theatrical contemporary naïve style painting that depicts a monumental humpback whale gliding beneath the legendary ocean liner Lusitania, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition is split horizontally between sea and sky: above the waterline, the iconic steamship moves calmly across a pale grey horizon, its three red funnels releasing soft plumes of smoke; below, a vast humpback whale dominates the scene, its immense body rendered in simplified, graphic form.

    Executed in a distinctive naïve style, the work embraces flattened perspective and exaggerated scale. The whale appears far larger than the ship, heightening the sense of quiet tension and lending the painting a folkloric, almost mythic quality. Detail is intentionally minimal: forms are cleanly outlined, shadows reduced, and spatial depth suggested through gentle tonal shifts rather than realism.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. Cool blues define the water, transitioning subtly from lighter tones near the surface to deeper shades around the whale’s body. The whale itself is painted in rich navy with a creamy white underbelly marked by rhythmic linear grooves. Above, the ship’s black hull, red funnels and white superstructure introduce strong contrast against the soft grey sky.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise shape and silhouette. The water shows delicate horizontal strokes, adding quiet movement while preserving the composition’s calm clarity.

    This oil on board is presented in an ornate gilt frame, its elaborate carving and warm gold tones intentionally echoing the grandeur of the Lusitania. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Lesser Spotted Dogfish

    Lesser Spotted Dogfish

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A visually engaging contemporary naïve style painting depicting two Lesser Spotted Dogfish gliding in quiet formation beneath gently rippling waters, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    Set against a softly modulated blue sea, the pair move horizontally across the composition, their elongated bodies and distinctive spotted markings rendered with clarity and playful precision.

    Executed in a naïve style, the work embraces simplified form and flattened perspective. The fish are presented in profile, their proportions slightly stylised to emphasise pattern and silhouette over anatomical realism. The repetition of the two figures creates a pleasing sense of rhythm and balance, lending the composition a calm, almost decorative quality.

    The palette is harmonious and restrained. The cool blue water is built from subtle tonal variations, with light, horizontal strokes suggesting surface movement. In contrast, the dogfish are painted in warm sandy tones, scattered with rhythmic brown spots that animate their forms. Fine linear details define the fins and gill markings, adding gentle texture without disrupting the painting’s graphic simplicity.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint enhancing the bold outlines and clean silhouettes. Delicate, feathered strokes in the background provide atmosphere while allowing the spotted patterning to remain the focal point.

    A charming and whimsical naïve style contemporary painting of a maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    A white beluga whale glides through rich blue waters, while above the horizon a tall sailing ship drifts beneath a soft pink sky dotted with small clouds.

    Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the painting embraces clarity over realism. Perspective is intentionally flattened, proportions are stylised, and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. This simplicity enhances its whimsical, almost folkloric quality. The composition is clean and balanced, with strong horizontal divisions that give the work a calm, meditative rhythm.

    The palette is bold yet harmonious: deep blues contrast beautifully with the warm rose-pink sky, while the pale whale stands out as the focal point. Brushwork appears smooth and controlled, with areas of flat, opaque colour that emphasise the graphic quality of the composition.

  • Great White Shark at Sea

    Great White Shark at Sea

    £450

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking naïve style contemporary painting of a dramatic maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The painting depicts a monumental shark gliding through calm, cerulean waters while, above the surface, a tall-masted sailing ship drifts serenely under a rose-tinted sky.

    Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. Forms are clearly outlined, proportions intentionally exaggerated for emphasis, and spatial depth is suggested through horizontal bands of colour rather than traditional modelling. The shark’s commanding scale is dramatically larger than the distant ship, enhancing the dreamlike, storytelling quality of the piece, lending it a subtly surreal charm.

    The colour palette is both playful and harmonious. Layers of blue shift from deeper tones below to lighter hues near the surface, while the sky transitions through warm blush and coral pinks. The dark charcoal body of the shark anchors the composition, contrasted by its pale underbelly and small accents of red in the mouth. The restrained palette heightens visual clarity and impact.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with areas of flat, even application that emphasise shape over texture. Subtle tonal variations within the water suggest gentle movement, while the sky’s gradient appears softly blended. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, reinforcing the naïve aesthetic while maintaining a confident contemporary edge.

  • Orca and Steamship

    Orca and Steamship

    £400

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking naïve style contemporary painting that captures a moment of quiet drama at sea, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    A monumental orca glides across softly undulating waters, its bold black-and-white form commanding the foreground. Behind it, a stylised steamship sails calmly across the horizon, smoke rising in gentle puffs toward a pale, clouded sky. In the distance, faint mountainous silhouettes dissolve into mist, creating a sense of depth while maintaining the painting’s charming simplicity.

    Executed in a naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and deliberate scale distortion.  The whale is rendered larger than life in relation to the ship, lending the scene a dreamlike, storytelling quality. The composition feels almost folkloric, as if suspended between reality and imagination.

    The palette is restrained yet effective: cool blues dominate the sea and sky, layered in soft tonal shifts, while the orca’s deep matte black contrasts crisply against its creamy white markings. The ship introduces earthy browns, subtly grounding the scene.

    Brushwork is controlled and minimal, with smooth, even application across the whale’s body and ship, enhancing their graphic clarity. The water and sky show slightly more texture, with gentle horizontal strokes suggesting movement and atmosphere without disrupting the overall calm. The result is a piece that feels both playful and contemplative: bold in silhouette, serene in mood.

  • Nude in Soft Light

    Nude in Soft Light

    £845

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed expressive mid-century figurative painting that presents a standing female nude, captured in a moment of quiet composure, painted in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The figure stands upright, one arm gently extended to rest upon a vertical form while the other arm falls loosely by her side. Her face is intentionally softened and undefined, directing attention instead to posture, gesture, and the interplay of light across the body.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances figuration with abstraction. The body is constructed through confident, sculptural brushwork: planes of brown, sand, olive, and muted rose build form through tonal shifts rather than precise line. The artist uses broad, directional strokes that remain visible and tactile, giving the surface a sense of movement and immediacy.

    The palette is earthy and restrained: warm flesh tones contrast against a cool, chalky white background layered with subtle greys and hints of pale blue. The isolated blue vertical accent at the left provides a visual counterweight and anchors the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and gestural, applied with a loaded brush in sweeping, confident passes. Areas of thicker impasto sit alongside thinner, scumbled layers, creating depth and texture. The figure’s contours are suggested rather than strictly defined, lending the work a softness and modern elegance typical of mid-century European studio practice.

    The overall effect is contemplative and quietly powerful, a study in form, balance, and painterly restraint.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Reclining Figure on Rug

    Reclining Figure on Rug

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century figurative composition that presents a reclining nude stretched languidly across a rug with vivid blue foliage, executed in watercolour onto paper and framed behind glass.

    The figure is simplified yet sensuous, her body rendered in soft, flowing contours that emphasise volume and repose rather than anatomical precision. She rests against a boldly divided backdrop, saturated red to one side and an expanse of blue to the other, creating a dynamic, modernist tension between figure and space.

    The style reflects a distinctly mid-century approach: flattened perspective, expressive simplification, and an emphasis on shape and colour over fine detail. The body is articulated through translucent washes of warm peach, apricot, and blush tones, allowing the underpainting and brush movement to remain visible. Shadows are suggested rather than defined, giving the figure a softness that feels intimate and atmospheric.

    The surrounding, painted in rhythmic strokes of cerulean and turquoise, forms a decorative, almost pattern-like base. These repeated leaf motifs introduce movement and contrast, their cool tones heightening the warmth of the nude figure. The brushwork throughout is loose and confident – gestural in the background, more fluid and diluted across the body lending the piece an immediacy and painterly charm.

    Overall, the work balances bold colour blocking with gentle figuration, embodying the modern aesthetic characteristic of mid-century figurative painting.

    This watercolour on paper is framed behind glass and presented in a complementary gilt frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sperm Whale and Smoking Chimneys

    Sperm Whale and Smoking Chimneys

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming contemporary naïve maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents a vast sperm whale moving steadily through calm blue waters, its immense dark form dominating the lower half of the painting. Above the surface, a shoreline unfolds: a row of red-brick factory buildings with tall smoking chimneys stretches along a green embankment, while a schooner glides quietly across the horizon beneath a warm yellow sky.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flattened perspective and bold simplification. Forms are clearly defined and confidently outlined, with exaggerated scale lending the whale a monumental presence. Spatial depth is conveyed through horizontal bands of water, land and sky rather than traditional modelling, enhancing the painting’s graphic clarity and storytelling charm.

    The colour palette is harmonious yet distinctive. Soft, powdery blues shape the water, set against a buttery yellow sky that lends warmth to the scene. The red-orange industrial buildings provide a vibrant architectural counterpoint, while the muted purple sails introduce a gentle tonal variation. The whale’s deep charcoal body anchors the composition, punctuated by a pale eye and a sharp row of small red teeth that add a subtle edge of character.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that prioritises shape and composition over painterly texture. Gentle tonal shifts within the water suggest quiet movement, while the sky is softly blended, reinforcing the calm surface atmosphere that contrasts with the powerful presence beneath.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame painted black. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • The Figs

    The Figs

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poised mid-century still life that presents a quietly architectural composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This composition centres on three deep green figs resting in a shallow tray. Behind them rises a stylised facade, a simplified portico with an arched window and triangular pediment rendered in flattened planes of muted blush, sage and cream.

    The style reflects a distinctly mid-century sensibility: pared back, structured, and contemplative. Forms are simplified into essential shapes of ovals, triangles, rectangles, and the architectural backdrop introduces a sense of order and symmetry, contrasting beautifully with the organic curves of the figs.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. Moss greens and olive tones dominate the fruit, offset by chalky whites, dusty rose, pale yellow and cool grey-blues in the surrounding space. Light appears to enter from the side, casting gentle shadows that anchor the composition and add depth without disrupting its calm balance.

    Brushstrokes are confident and visible, with a slightly dry, textured application that allows the canvas weave to subtly show through. The paint is layered in broad, deliberate strokes – particularly in the background – while the figs themselves are modelled with softer blending, giving them a quiet solidity and presence.

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

  • Quiet Farmstead

    Quiet Farmstead

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and serene mid-century landscape that captures a rural farmstead in its most distilled and poetic form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Three angular barns sit low against an expansive, powder-blue sky, their pitched roofs forming a rhythmic sequence of geometric silhouettes. Bare trees rise slender and vertical, softening the strong triangular architecture and anchoring the composition in a quiet seasonal stillness.

    Rendered in a restrained, modernist style, the painting balances abstraction and representation. The barns are simplified into bold planes of colour, while hedgerows and fields are reduced to blocks of earthy brown and moss green. The pale turquoise sky provides a luminous backdrop, creating a gentle contrast against the grounded, darker foreground.

    Brushstrokes are confident. Broad, flat applications of paint define the land and sky, while looser, slightly feathered strokes articulate the trees and subtle shifts in the terrain. The paint handling is matte and softly textured, allowing the composition’s geometry and colour relationships to take precedence over detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner white and silver border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Folk Musicians

    Folk Musicians

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively 20th century figurative painting that depicts a spirited gathering of musicians arranged in a tiered composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1969.

    Each figure absorbed in the act of playing:  violins are lifted mid-bow, a guitarist anchors the right side, and smaller figures stand poised with wind instruments, creating the sense of a communal folk performance. The central foreground figure, hands planted confidently on hips and dressed in a patterned skirt and vest, acts as both visual anchor and quiet conductor of the scene.

    Simplified, elongated forms with minimal facial detail lend the work a universal, almost archetypal quality. The figures are stylised rather than portrait-like, with flattened planes and a compressed sense of space that brings the entire ensemble forward toward the viewer. There is a naïve-modernist charm in the proportions and arrangement, yet the composition is carefully balanced, with vertical instrument necks and angled bows creating rhythm across the canvas.

    The colour palette is warm and earthy, grounded in greens and muted browns, punctuated by vibrant notes of mustard yellow, teal blue, red and burnt orange. These contrasting garments give each musician individuality while harmonising within the overall composition.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive. Paint is applied in visible, textured strokes – particularly in the clothing and instruments  –  adding movement and energy to the scene. The background is softly blended but remains painterly, allowing the figures to stand forward in bold, gestural definition. The overall effect is celebratory and rhythmic, capturing not just a group of musicians, but the collective spirit of shared music-making.

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

  • Ceremony of Colour

    Ceremony of Colour

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century abstract figurative painting that depicts a rhythmic procession of five women walking across an open, sun-washed landscape, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    Each figure balances a vessel upon her head, their elongated forms moving in quiet unison against a soft expanse of sky and sand. Though simplified and abstracted, the figures retain a powerful presence.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances figuration with abstraction. The bodies are constructed from bold, angular planes of colour rather than detailed anatomy, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and spontaneity. The negative space of pale blue sky and creamy earth provides a serene backdrop that allows the vibrant figures to command attention.

    The palette is rich and saturated, featuring vivid oranges, fiery reds, cobalt blues, emerald greens, and deep purples. These colours are layered and juxtaposed in expressive blocks, giving each figure a unique visual rhythm while maintaining overall harmony. The contrast between the warm garments and the cool sky enhances the painting’s luminosity and depth.

    Brushwork is energetic and confident. Broad, gestural strokes define the drapery and movement of fabric, while thicker applications of paint create texture and dimension across the figures’ garments. The artist has allowed edges to remain loose and painterly, with visible layering and occasional scumbling that adds vitality to the surface. The simplified faces and silhouetted profiles further emphasise form, colour, and movement over detail.

    Overall, the painting embodies the bold spirit of mid-century abstraction, celebrating colour, gesture, and human form in a composition that feels expressive.

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

  • The Laundry Room

    The Laundry Room

    £625

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A lively 1977 interior figurative painting that captures a lively domestic moment within what appears to be a laundry room,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    A group of women are absorbed in their individual tasks: lifting sheets, folding linen, tending to fabrics, and moving rhythmically through the shared space. The presence of cribs in the foreground adds a gentle narrative rhythm, evoking themes of care, routine, and collective responsibility. The scene feels observed rather than staged, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life.

    Executed in a gentle modernist figurative style, the composition prioritises atmosphere and emotion over strict realism. Figures are simplified and slightly elongated, their forms softened into painterly silhouettes. The spatial arrangement guides the eye fluidly from foreground to background, creating a sense of continuity between the women, their tasks, and the surrounding architecture. Tall arched windows allow light to pour into the space, reinforcing the feeling of calm routine and shared purpose.

    The palette is dominated by delicate, muted tones – powder blues, greens, soft creams, and pale lavenders – punctuated by warmer accents of rust, ochre, and terracotta in the figures’ garments. These gentle colour harmonies evoke cleanliness, light, and quiet introspection, reinforcing the contemplative tone of the scene.

    Brushwork is loose, expressive, and economical. Forms are suggested rather than fully defined, with thin veils of paint layered transparently to create softness and luminosity. Edges blur into one another, allowing figures and environment to merge subtly, while occasional firmer strokes articulate gestures and movement. The overall effect is intimate and atmospheric, capturing not only a place, but the lived rhythm and quiet humanity of shared work.

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

  • The Waiting Place

    The Waiting Place

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century abstract figurative painting that presents a gathering of elongated figures arranged in quiet proximity, executed in oil onto board.

    The forms appear engaged in a shared moment: perhaps at a waiting place or a gathering, but their identities remain deliberately obscured.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances abstraction with figuration. The figures are reduced to essential silhouettes and planar shapes, their coats and hats suggested through angular geometry and softened contours. There is a subtle architectural structure anchoring the composition, with vertical elements lending a sense of stillness and gravitas.

    The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by muted greys, smoky charcoals, warm browns, and off-whites, punctuated by accents of crimson, burnt sienna, and soft rose. These warmer notes glow subtly from the centre, creating a quiet internal luminosity that draws the viewer inward. The tonal contrasts between light and dark figures create rhythm and spatial depth while maintaining an atmospheric cohesion.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, combining thin washes with dry, textured passages. Edges dissolve and re-emerge, allowing forms to hover between presence and absence. Vertical strokes emphasise the standing figures, while softer blended areas create a sense of movement and ambiguity. This interplay between structure and dissolution is characteristic of mid-century abstraction, lending the painting both emotional resonance and formal sophistication.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey painted wood frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a white mark to the bottom right corner of the outer frame but this does not detract from the overall composition.

  • Tabletop Composition

    Tabletop Composition

    Sold

    SOLD

    An intimate still life that presents a quietly contemplative arrangement of everyday objects: a tall green glass bottle, a white jug, and three ripe apples resting upon a simple tabletop, executed in oil onto board and dated 1977.

    The composition is carefully balanced, with the bottle acting as a vertical anchor, its slender silhouette contrasted by the rounded softness of the apples and the sturdy, tactile presence of the jug. The objects are arranged close together, while the subtle cast shadow behind the bottle introduces depth and a quiet sense of afternoon light.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting reflects a focus on form, tone, and spatial harmony. The artist distils each object to its essential shape and presence, and the composition feels deliberate yet unpretentious: a study in stillness, balance, and the beauty of ordinary objects.

    The colour palette is soft, muted, and harmonious. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Soft, blended passages create smooth tonal transitions, while visible brushstrokes in the apples and bottle lend texture and vitality. The paint handling feels confident, capturing the essence of each object without unnecessary detail. Subtle variations in tone and edge create volume and form, while the background remains softly modulated, enhancing the painting’s serene and contemplative mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner dark wood border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Winter Light

    Winter Light

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century landscape that captures the stillness of a winter marsh, where a broad expanse of pale water or frost-covered ground stretches across the foreground, reflecting the muted sky above, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender, leafless trees rise along the water’s edge, their dark trunks and branches creating elegant vertical accents against the open, horizontal sweep of the landscape. In the distance, softened forms of woodland and low terrain recede into shadow, lending the scene a quiet sense of depth and solitude.

    The painting is rendered in a confident, painterly style characteristic of mid-century modernist landscapes. The artist has used loose, gestural brushwork to suggest rather than define, allowing texture and movement to convey atmosphere. The surface reveals thickly applied passages of paint in the foreground, where creamy whites, pale greys, and soft blues evoke frost, water, or snow. These cooler tones are subtly enlivened by touches of ochre, rust, and mossy green, suggesting winter grasses and reeds catching the last warmth of the season.

    The sky is painted in layered shades of muted blue and grey, applied in broad, sweeping strokes that create a soft, overcast luminosity. The trees are articulated with darker, more deliberate lines, their vertical rhythm grounding the composition and framing the open space beyond. Overall, the painting balances abstraction and representation, capturing not just the physical landscape, but its mood: serene, introspective, and quietly poetic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited linen lined wood frame that complements atmospheric palette beautifully. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the inner frame, and a small area of loss to the bottom right corner of the outer frame, consistent with age, but this does not detract from the overall appearance.

  • The Waiting Boats

    The Waiting Boats

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape that presents two boats drawn ashore, resting quietly on a pale sandy foreground, and painted in oil onto canvas.

    One vessel, painted in deep black, faces forward with quiet presence, while the other, rendered in a rich muted green, sits slightly angled beside it. Slender ladders lean against their hulls, suggesting recent use or quiet maintenance. Beyond them, calm blue water stretches toward softly rounded green islands, their forms simplified into gentle, almost abstract silhouettes beneath an open, pale sky. The composition evokes a moment of stillness between departures: a pause in the rhythm of coastal life.

    The painting is executed in a restrained modernist style, defined by simplified shapes, flattened perspective, and a careful balance between representation and abstraction. The artist has reduced forms to their essential geometry, allowing the boats and landscape to become harmonious arrangements of colour and shape rather than detailed realism.

    The colour palette is soothing and thoughtfully restrained, featuring soft sea-blues, sage and teal greens, warm sandy neutrals, and grounding accents of black. Subtle tonal transitions create depth while maintaining the painting’s calm, balanced atmosphere. The limited palette enhances the sense of cohesion and tranquility, allowing each element to feel integrated within the whole.

    Brushwork is deliberate and controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasize form and contour over texture. Edges are softly defined rather than sharply outlined, lending the scene a gentle, contemplative quality. Slight variations in tone and layering reveal the artist’s hand while preserving the overall clarity and compositional harmony.

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

    A soothing and pleasant mid-century abstract modernist landscape that evokes a tranquil woodland clearing bathed in the gentle glow of early morning light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender vertical forms suggest tree trunks rising through a softly diffused atmosphere, while a luminous central passage draws the eye inward, hinting at a path or opening beyond. The composition balances abstraction and suggestion, allowing the viewer to experience both place and feeling without strict definition.

    Rendered in a delicate pastel palette of blush pinks, warm yellows, and soft sage greens, the painting captures the fleeting harmony of nature as it shifts between seasons or times of day. Subtle tonal transitions create a sense of depth and air, while muted earth tones anchor the foreground in quiet stability.

    The brushwork is expressive yet restrained, with visible palette knife textures and layered impasto lending the surface a tactile richness. Paint is applied in confident sweeps and gentle scrapes, allowing underlayers to emerge and interact, enhancing the painting’s luminous, atmospheric quality. The result is a serene and contemplative modernist work: both structured and intuitive as the landscape is captured as an emotional and sensory experience rather than a literal view.

  • Still Coast

    Still Coast

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and meditative mid-century modernist coastal landscape that captures the hushed stillness of an estuary unfolding beneath a pale, overcast sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding shoreline curves gently through the composition, guiding the eye toward distant headlands softened by atmospheric haze. On the right, a cluster of slender, darkened trees rises from the embankment, their vertical forms providing a striking counterpoint to the broad, horizontal calm of the water and shoreline. The scene feels suspended in a moment of winter quiet: timeless, contemplative, and deeply serene.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has reduced the landscape to essential forms and tonal relationships. The composition balances abstraction with recognisable geography, allowing negative space and subtle tonal shifts to carry emotional weight. The muted palette – comprising soft greys, chalky whites, warm taupes, and earthy browns – enhances the sense of stillness, evoking coastal light diffused through cloud and mist.

    The brushwork is confident, with broad, sweeping strokes used to suggest water, sand, and sky. Areas of dry brush and lightly textured paint create gentle variation across the surface, while darker, more defined strokes anchor the composition and introduce structure. This interplay between softness and structure reflects the modernist pursuit of mood and form over literal detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary frame finished in a muted champagne-silver tone. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A compelling abstract landscape with figures composition, painted in oil  in 1946 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

    Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

    The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

  • Hushed Trees

    Hushed Trees

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a quiet grove of slender trees emerging through a veil of winter haze, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Three distinct trunks: one cool blue, one pale ivory, and one warm reddish-brown – stand gently apart, their forms softened by the atmospheric frost and mist that envelop the scene. The composition conveys a sense of calm solitude, as if the landscape itself has fallen into a moment of suspended breath.

    Rendered in a restrained, poetic palette of icy blues, muted lavenders, silvery greys, and mossy greens, the painting reflects mood and abstraction over strict realism. The background dissolves into layered washes of colour, suggesting distant forms and frozen ground without overt definition.

    The artist has used loose, expressive brushwork, combining thin, translucent layers with areas of thicker impasto. Vertical strokes elongate the trees, lending them a graceful, almost calligraphic presence, while scumbled textures and softly blended passages create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

    Overall, the work achieves a delicate balance between representation and abstraction, evoking the emotional resonance of a winter landscape rather than its precise physical details.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner silver border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Coastal Quietude

    Coastal Quietude

    £430

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century landscape that captures a quiet coastal scene defined by openness, balance, and gentle geometry, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A pale winding pathway leads the viewer’s eye through a soft green foreground toward a tranquil shoreline and expansive horizon beyond. Two slender trees stand as quiet sentinels at the centre of the composition, their vertical forms offering a subtle counterpoint to the horizontal bands of land, sea, and sky. On the left, a gently rising bluff adds structure and depth, while rounded, sculptural foliage frames the scene with a sense of intimacy.

    The painting is executed in a modernist, semi-abstracted style characteristic of mid-century landscape painting, where natural forms are simplified into harmonious blocks of colour and shape. The artist prioritises mood and spatial clarity over fine detail, creating a composition that feels both contemplative and timeless.

    The colour palette is fresh and calming, composed of cool sky blues, soft sea greys, and layered greens ranging from muted sage to deeper forest tones. The sandy pathway is rendered in warm, pale cream, providing contrast and guiding visual movement throughout the work. These balanced tones evoke the quiet stillness of a coastal morning or early afternoon.

    Brushwork is deliberate and structured, with visible, confident strokes that build form through layered colour rather than blended transitions. The foliage is constructed with confident, blocky applications of paint, while the sky and distant water are handled more smoothly, reinforcing the sense of atmospheric depth.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner silver border. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has small scuffs and marks, also consistent with age.

    £435

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well executed mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape is rendered in broad, expressive brushstrokes with a modern, impressionistic touch. It captures a seaside scene full of warmth, movement, and coastal charm.

    The foreground is dominated by lush green foliage, painted with bold, confident strokes. The greens vary in hue, creating depth and rhythm.

    A whitewashed building with an orange-tiled roof is partially obscured by greenery. This architectural touch gives the scene a sense of place, suggesting somewhere Southern Europe.

    Behind the building, a sliver of deep blue sea stretches across the canvas, meeting the sky and separated by rocky coastal formations and windswept trees, their simplified, curved forms bending toward the sea.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and painterly, favouring emotion and movement over precision. The artist uses a limited but harmonious palette of greens, creams, ochres, blues, and terracotta, invoking the feel of a hot, breezy afternoon.

    This oil on canvas is set in an elegant linen and silver frame, lightly textured, which adds a touch of refinement while echoing the sun-bleached tones of the scene. The painting is excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age marks to the linen border.

    It is a vibrant and bold floral textile artwork, rich in colour, symmetry, and folk tradition. It showcases a decorative arrangement of three stylised flowers, each distinct in form and bursting with personality.

  • Lily of the Valley & Jug

    Lily of the Valley & Jug

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined contemporary still life that presents a carefully orchestrated arrangement of everyday forms rendered with clarity and restraint, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre rests a tall ceramic jug in warm earthy tones of chocolate brown and muted taupe, its simplified silhouette outlined in confident dark contours. Beside it lies a single slice of pale green fruit, its circular form offering a gentle counterpoint to the vertical presence of the vessel.

    In the foreground, a sprig of lily of the valley stretches gracefully across a bold orange rectangular dish. The delicate white blossoms and rich green leaves introduce an organic softness, their gentle curves and natural rhythm contrasting beautifully with the structured geometry of the surrounding objects. Behind them, subtle blocks of beige, cream, and soft grey form a quiet architectural backdrop, suggesting interior space without distraction.

    Stylistically, the painting draws on contemporary modernist sensibilities, where representation is simplified and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. The composition balances geometry and nature, solidity and delicacy, creating a sense of stillness and introspection. The palette is restrained yet expressive – warm neutrals, earthy browns, and muted greens punctuated by the confident accent of yellow – evoking both warmth and compositional clarity.

    The brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Clean edges and defined contours reinforce the structural integrity of each object, while subtle tonal shifts within the surfaces add depth and quiet dimensionality. The result is a refined and contemplative work, celebrating the quiet beauty found in simple arrangements and everyday objects.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with gently recessed inner mouldings and a delicate carved detail that runs along the inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown.

  • Pear Arrangement

    Pear Arrangement

    £945

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and characterful interior still life composition executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet very effective in its composition, this still life presents a carefully arranged grouping of pears, a ceramic vessel, and a jug rendered with clarity, charm, and a distinctly modern sensibility. The composition centres on two luminous green pears nestled in a scalloped turquoise bowl, accompanied by a fourth pear in the foreground and a halved pear resting nearby. To the right, a sculptural brown jug anchors the scene with a grounded solidity, while a single stylised leaf rises elegantly from a pear against a radiant golden backdrop, dotted with rhythmic points of light.

    The artist has employed a flattened perspective, where spatial depth is secondary to shape, balance, and decorative harmony. Forms are simplified into bold silhouettes and geometric masses, giving each object a sculptural presence. The background is thoughtfully divided into zones of warm gold, soft neutral tones, and rich terracotta red, creating a structured yet lively interplay between colour fields.

    The palette is vibrant yet controlled, featuring fresh green pears contrasted against a warm, earthy table surface and a glowing mustard-gold backdrop. The cool turquoise of the bowl provides a refreshing counterpoint, while the deep brown jug introduces tonal weight and balance. The dotted golden background adds a playful, almost textile-like quality, enhancing the painting’s decorative appeal.

    Executed in tempera, the brushwork is smooth and precise, with a matte, velvety surface typical of the medium. Edges are clean and deliberate, emphasising contour and form rather than painterly gesture. Subtle tonal variations within the pears and jug provide volume without disrupting the overall graphic clarity. The result is a work that feels both intimate and confidently composed – celebrating everyday objects through the lens of mid-century design, where simplicity, colour, and form coexist in harmonious balance.

    This tempera on board is presented in a beautifully complementary gilt frame with a deep profile, and with a striking green velvet inner border that creates a strong visual contrast. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks present to its top edge as shown.

  • Hills in Reverie

    Hills in Reverie

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century modernist abstracted landscape that presents a serene pastoral vista distilled into rhythmic sweeps of colour and gesture, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    The composition evokes rolling countryside rendered not through precise detail, but through impressionistic suggestion – where a gently sloping hill rises confidently across the centre, its curved mass anchoring the scene. In the foreground, luminous yellow fields stretch outward in broad passages, while clusters of softly suggested shrubs and earth tones create quiet interruptions across the terrain. To the right, two tall, slender vertical forms- reminiscent of cypress trees – stand like sentinels, introducing a quiet architectural presence against the openness of the land. The sky recedes in soft atmospheric layers, suggesting a fleeting moment of warm light as day gives way to evening.

    The style embodies the essence of mid-century modernist landscape abstraction, where form is simplified into essential shapes and expressive mark-making. Rather than striving for realism, the artist captures the emotional resonance of place. The sweeping, curved hill is rendered almost sculpturally, its mass built through confident, continuous strokes that emphasise movement and volume. There is a harmonious balance between abstraction and recognition – the landscape feels both real and remembered, filtered through sensation rather than observation.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by layered greens ranging from mint and sage to deeper emerald tones. These are complemented by glowing passages of buttery yellow and warm ochre in the foreground, suggesting sunlit grasses. The sky transitions through soft pale blues, creamy whites, and hints of peach and apricot near the horizon, introducing warmth and atmosphere.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible, painterly strokes applied with confidence and immediacy. Thick, sweeping gestures define the hills, while shorter, curved dabs suggest foliage and texture. The surface carries a lively energy, revealing the artist’s hand and the spontaneity of execution.

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

  • Coastal Fields

    Coastal Fields

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist landscape that distils the essence of a coastal countryside into a harmonious arrangement of simplified forms and tonal planes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    Rolling fields stretch gently toward a distant shoreline, where muted hills dissolve into a tranquil horizon beneath a softly weathered sky. A cluster of whitewashed structures sits quietly within the terrain, offering a subtle human presence amid the expansive natural setting.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition reflects the mid-century inclination toward abstraction while remaining grounded in the landscape tradition. The artist has reduced the scenery into layered, geometric passages, allowing the rhythm of land and sea to unfold through balanced shapes rather than literal detail. This approach creates a sense of calm structure and contemplative stillness, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as both place and memory.

    The colour palette is beautifully subdued and earthy, featuring sandy ochres, pale sage greens, chalky creams, and deep olive tones. These are complemented by a band of muted teal and blue along the horizon, suggesting distant water or sky.

    The brushwork is textural yet controlled, with areas of dry brush and impasto that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge through the paint surface. Edges are softly broken and irregular, lending the composition an organic, tactile quality. This interplay between material texture and simplified form enhances the painting’s atmospheric presence, embodying the quiet elegance and thoughtful restraint characteristic of mid-century modernist landscape painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a refined and well-suited frame with gilt mouldings and an inner linen window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century interior painting that captures the serene presence of a masonry fireplace, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The fireplace stands centrally, its sculptural form softened by rounded contours and pale plaster surfaces, suggesting both warmth and architectural dignity. To the left, an open doorway reveals a glimpse of an adjoining room. A narrow woven runner stretches across the floor, guiding the eye horizontally and grounding the composition in the rhythm of everyday life. Simple fireplace tools rest quietly beside the hearth, reinforcing the intimate domestic atmosphere.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist balances representation with subtle abstraction. Forms are simplified yet retain their essence, allowing structure and light to take precedence over intricate detail. The composition feels calm and deliberate, with an emphasis on spatial harmony and gentle geometry.

    The colour palette is soft and muted, composed of chalky whites, warm creams, pale sage greens, and cool greys, accented by dusty blues and understated earthy browns within the firebox. These tones create a tranquil, contemplative mood, evoking diffused daylight and the quiet comfort of interior spaces during colder seasons.

    Brushstrokes are visible and tactile, applied with a confident yet delicate hand. The paint surface reveals subtle layering, with thin washes and lightly textured passages that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge. Edges are softly blended rather than sharply defined, lending the work a dreamlike softness. The artist’s handling of light and form conveys both immediacy and restraints.

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and energetic abstract composition where colour, movement, and gesture converge in a dynamic visual dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The surface is alive with bold, biomorphic forms and spontaneous splashes that seem to hover and collide within an expansive field of pale cerulean blue. Large organic shapes in saturated green, deep ultramarine, mustard yellow, and inky black anchor the composition, while vivid red splatters and fine white linear streaks cut across the canvas like bursts of energy or fleeting trajectories.

    At the heart of the painting, a luminous circular yellow form radiates warmth and presence, acting as both focal point and counterbalance to the surrounding asymmetrical shapes. The artist masterfully juxtaposes areas of dense opacity with translucent washes, creating depth and rhythm. Smaller droplets of silver-grey and scattered pigment add a sense of cosmic randomness, enhancing the impression of movement and spontaneity.

    The brushwork ranges from smooth, deliberate blocks of colour to expressive drips, splashes, and flicked paint which are hallmarks of Abstract Expressionist technique. Thick, gestural strokes coexist with fluid pours and delicate splatters, revealing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas. The layering of pigment creates subtle textures and visual tension, inviting the viewer to explore the painting’s surface and uncover new relationships between form and colour.

    Overall, the painting evokes a sense of joyful immediacy and intuitive creation. It is an orchestration of colour and gesture that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking modernist still life that presents a vibrant arrangement of fruit abstracted into a dynamic composition of intersecting planes and softened geometry, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The familiar forms of citrus and rounded vessels are deconstructed and reassembled into a rhythmic interplay of curves, arcs, and angular shapes, inviting the viewer to experience the still life as both object and structure. Rather than depicting fruit in literal terms, the artist captures its essence through balance, weight, and spatial tension.

    Executed in a refined modernist style, the composition reflects the influence of Cubism and post-war abstraction, where form and colour take precedence over realism. Overlapping shapes create depth while maintaining a flattened picture plane, lending the work a quiet architectural quality. The arrangement rests within a harmonious equilibrium, suggesting careful deliberation and confident restraint.

    The palette is both playful and sophisticated, featuring soft pastel tones of peach, lemon yellow, sage green, muted lilac, and warm coral, contrasted with grounding passages of charcoal, slate grey, and black. These colours are thoughtfully distributed across the surface, allowing light tones to advance and darker forms to anchor the composition.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with areas of matte, even application that emphasise the clarity of form. Subtle variations in opacity and tone reveal the artist’s hand, while clean edges between colour fields enhance the geometric precision. The surface possesses a quiet tactility, reinforcing the contemplative nature of the work.

    Overall, this painting exemplifies the mid-century modernist pursuit of harmony between abstraction and representation, transforming an everyday still life into a refined study of form, colour, and compositional balance.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape that distils the essence of open countryside into a series of quiet, expressive gestures, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition unfolds horizontally, suggesting rolling fields and distant hills softened by atmosphere and distance. Rather than describing a specific place, the artist captures the feeling of land, its stillness, breadth, and gentle undulation.

    The palette is subtle and earthy, dominated by layered greens ranging from moss and olive to brighter, more luminous passages that suggest fresh grass or sunlight breaking through cloud. These tones are grounded by muted browns, evoking soil and natural terrain, while soft washes of pale grey and off-white above create a vast, overcast sky. A darker, almost charcoal passage to the right anchors the composition, providing contrast and visual weight.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident. Broad horizontal strokes define the landscape planes, while thinner, vertical marks in the foreground suggest grasses or reeds, lending a sense of immediacy and texture. Areas of exposed ground and visible canvas contribute to the painting’s modernist sensibility, allowing the viewer to witness the artist’s process and movement. The application alternates between opaque and translucent layers, creating depth while maintaining an airy openness.

    The Act of Seeing

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century figurative portrait that captures a quiet, introspective moment as a woman stands in profile, gently parting a patterned curtain, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1948.

    Her posture is poised yet intimate, suggesting both observation and hesitation – as though she stands between interior life and the world beyond. A window behind her opens onto a soft, distant landscape, reinforcing a sense of contemplation and transition.

    Rendered in an expressive, painterly style, the work embraces loose, gestural brushwork that prioritises emotion over precise realism. The figure is constructed through layered strokes of cool blues, muted greys, and soft creams, with touches of rose and pale green animating the contours of her face and clothing. The curtain introduces rhythmic vertical zigzags and organic shapes in earthy reds, blues, and blacks, creating a striking contrast against the cooler tones of the interior. This interplay of colour and pattern brings both movement and structural tension to the composition.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are confident and spontaneous, with visible, energetic marks that give the surface vitality. Areas of thinner, translucent paint sit alongside thicker, more textured passages, allowing the underlayers to breathe through and enhancing the sense of immediacy. The figure itself is softly modelled, with edges dissolving into the surrounding space, reinforcing the emotional atmosphere rather than strict form.

  • The Gathering Hill

    The Gathering Hill

    Sold

    SOLD

    An enchanting mid-century naïve style street scene composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This painting presents a stylised street scene set against a radiant orange hillside, where a rhythmic procession of figures moves quietly along a winding path. Above them, a constellation of small, brightly coloured houses – each with red roofs and dark punctuated windows – rests across the slope like watchful sentinels. A solitary tree stands to one side, its simplified form lending balance and anchoring the composition within an imagined, almost dreamlike terrain. Below the path, tall, slender flowers rise in neat formation, reinforcing the painting’s sense of order, ritual, and gentle continuity.

    Executed in a naïve, folk-inspired style, the work embraces deliberate simplicity and symbolic clarity over realism. The figures with elongated silhouettes are rendered with minimal detail. The houses, reduced to geometric blocks, and the evenly spaced floral motifs contribute to a harmonious, almost ceremonial rhythm across the canvas.

    The colour palette is both bold and luminous, dominated by warm tones of burnt orange, amber, and ochre that saturate the landscape with warmth and intensity. These glowing hues are contrasted by jewel-like accents of cobalt blue, forest green, and deep brown within the houses, while flashes of red in the rooftops and flowers punctuate the composition with vitality. The sky, rendered in muted rust tones, enhances the sense of enveloping warmth and creates a cohesive atmospheric envelope.

    Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and tactile, lending texture and dimensionality to the surface. The paint is applied with expressive freedom – sweeping and layered across the hillside, while more deliberate, smaller strokes define architectural details and figures. This material presence of paint reinforces the work’s authenticity and emotional immediacy.

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

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An intriguing and engaging abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2009 by contemporary Swedish artist Pontus Carle (b.1955).

    This abstract composition unfolds as a lively visual conversation, where floating forms and intersecting marks appear suspended in a shallow, atmospheric space. Suggestive rather than literal, the painting hints at figures, tools, and architectural fragments without ever settling into a fixed narrative. Shapes drift, overlap, and counterbalance one another, creating a sense of movement and quiet tension across the surface.

    Executed in a contemporary abstract style with subtle echoes of mid-century modern abstraction, the work balances spontaneity with control. Linear elements cut decisively through softer, rounded forms, while areas of transparency allow underlying layers to gently emerge. The composition feels intuitive and playful, yet carefully orchestrated.

    The colour palette is restrained but expressive, anchored by soft greys and off-whites, and punctuated with confident accents of black, ochre, mustard yellow, coral, teal, and muted blue. These touches of colour animate the surface, guiding the eye rhythmically across the canvas.

    Brushstrokes range from broad, gestural sweeps to delicate, calligraphic lines. Some passages are thin and translucent, revealing earlier decisions beneath, while others are more opaque and textural, lending depth and visual contrast. The result is a dynamic, layered painting that rewards close inspection and invites ongoing interpretation

  • Waiting at the Door

    Waiting at the Door

    £585

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet residential moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A composition centres on a modest house set behind a picket fence, with a gently curving road leading the eye into the distance. A solitary figure stands in the doorway, rendered with deliberate ambiguity, lending the scene a subtle narrative tension: part welcome, part pause.

    The composition is deceptively simple yet carefully balanced, with strong geometric forms anchoring the house while softer, organic shapes emerge in the surrounding greenery. In the background, distant buildings dissolve into muted silhouettes, reinforcing a sense of calm isolation

    The palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by soft greens, light blues, pale sage, and warm earthy browns. Hints of muted red at the doorway provide a quiet focal point, adding warmth and human presence without overpowering the composition.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive. Paint is applied with confidence – broad, visible strokes define architectural planes, while lighter, more rhythmic marks suggest foliage and fencing. The surface retains a tactile quality, allowing the hand of the artist to remain present throughout.

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

  • Light Through the Arches

    Light Through the Arches

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An  atmospheric  interior scene that depicts a serene dining space where a sequence of arches opens into a softly illuminated space beyond, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

    The composition draws the viewer inward, moving through shadowed passageways toward a sunlit interior. Beyond the shadowed foreground, tables and chairs are arranged in gentle clusters, hinting at a dining setting.  The absence of figures lends the scene a contemplative calm, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet murmur of conversation and the play of light across tabletops.

    Executed in a classic mid-century modern style, the composition favours mood and structure over precise detail. Architectural forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing light and spatial rhythm to guide the eye inward. The palette is warm and restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep umbers, and muted blues, offset by soft creams and browns that suggest sunlight filtering through the arched openings.

    The brushwork is expressive and layered, with confident, textured strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Thicker applications of paint define the arches and furniture, while looser, more gestural passages dissolve into shadow, creating depth and atmosphere. The result is a quietly evocative work that captures both the intimacy and timeless elegance of an interior dining space suspended in stillness.

  • Autumn Foothills

    Autumn Foothills

    Sold

    SOLD

    An atmospheric modernist landscape that presents a luminous autumn scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

    A broad sweep of golden aspens stretches across the foreground, punctuated by soft sage greens and warm earthen tones. Low rocky forms and russet soil anchor the composition at the front, leading the eye gently toward layered foothills and distant mountains rendered in cool blues, greys, and muted slate hues. The result is a tranquil, balanced view that feels both expansive and intimate.

    Modernist in its ethos, the painting emphasises simplified shapes, clear colour relationships, and an expressive rather than literal interpretation of nature. The landscape is structured in horizontal bands, giving the composition a calm, grounded rhythm, while loosely defined trees introduce vertical movement and visual interest.

    The palette is distinctly autumnal yet restrained – mustard yellow, brown, pale olive, and soft rust contrast beautifully with the atmospheric blues of the mountains and sky. These tonal shifts create depth while maintaining an overall harmony that is soothing and timeless.

    Brushwork is confident and tactile, with broad, painterly strokes and visible layering throughout. The foliage is built up with dabs and patches of colour, allowing the canvas texture to remain subtly present, while the mountains are handled with smoother, blended strokes that recede quietly into the background. Altogether, the painting carries a sense of ease and warmth, making it a classic and inviting example of mid-century landscape painting.

     

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks to its inner section that is consistent with age.

    Road Through Soft Hills

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a quiet countryside moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a road that winds gently through rolling hills toward distant blue-grey mountains. Slender cypress trees punctuate the scene, their vertical forms creating a calm rhythm against the open sky. Small, loosely suggested figures along the road lend a subtle sense of scale and movement, reinforcing the painting’s tranquil, unhurried mood.

    Executed in a modernist style, the landscape is simplified into broad shapes and planes, prioritising atmosphere and harmony over detail. The palette is soft and restrained: fresh greens and olive tones in the hills, warm browns and muted earth colours in the land, and cool blue-greys in the distant mountains. The sky is rendered in pale, airy blues with gentle cloud forms, lending the composition an overall lightness and sense of calm.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible strokes that softly blend rather than sharply define forms. The paint is applied with confidence, allowing texture to emerge subtly across the surface. This relaxed handling enhances the painting’s atmospheric quality.

  • Figure by the Window

    Figure by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD

    An intimate mid-century figurative painting that captures a solitary figure absorbed in a quiet, domestic task, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Positioned near a window, the figure leans forward with gentle concentration, their form partially silhouetted against a softly lit interior. The scene feels private and unguarded – a fleeting moment of everyday life observed without interruption.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the composition balances figuration with loose abstraction. Architectural elements – the window frame, wall planes, and floor – are suggested rather than defined, creating a sense of space through colour blocks and shifting perspectives rather than strict linear depth.

    The palette is restrained yet expressive, built from muted greens, soft yellows, warm creams, and earthy reds, with cooler blue-green tones anchoring the shadows. These colours subtly echo one another across the canvas, lending the work a harmonious, contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are confident and textured, applied in short, directional strokes that remain clearly visible throughout. The paint handling prioritises movement and atmosphere over fine detail, allowing the figure to emerge organically from the surrounding space. This tactile surface and expressive restraint are hallmarks of mid-century figurative painting, where emotion and form are conveyed through colour, rhythm, and gesture rather than precision.

    A quietly powerful work, this painting invites prolonged looking, revealing beauty in stillness, routine, and the poetry of ordinary moments.

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary wide-profiled gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs that is consistent with age.

  • Sushi & Sake

    Sushi & Sake

    £585

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking contemporary painting that presents a vibrant Japanese-themed still life celebrating the ritual of sushi and sake, executed in acrylic onto canvas and dated 2003.

    Four boldly coloured fish are arranged in a neat horizontal line across a yellow tabletop, evoking the careful presentation of sushi before it is served. They are accompanied by a sake bottle, matching cups, chopsticks, and a small dish of rice, creating a scene that feels ceremonial, abundant, and quietly joyful.

    The composition draws on Japanese visual traditions while remaining distinctly modern. Forms are simplified and stylised, with a graphic clarity that recalls both folk art and mid-century illustration. Decorative foliage frames the scene, adding movement and balance while subtly referencing nature.

    The colour palette is striking and playful. Rich reds, cobalt blue, deep forest green, and warm golden yellow are set against a soft sky-blue background and a creamy, sunlit tabletop. The high-contrast colours give the work a lively, contemporary energy, while black and white accents ground the composition and provide visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Fine line details and dotted highlights bring gentle depth and refinement to the surface without breaking the clean, graphic quality of the work. The overall effect is bold yet harmonious, a modern homage to Japanese dining culture, celebration, and shared moments at the table.

    This artwork on canvas is housed in a complementary white floater frame. The painting has some very minor surface marks that are commensurate with age and do not detract from the overall composition.

    Size:  79 x 109 cm (including frame)

  • Cubist Street

    Cubist Street

    £590

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting presents a quiet street rendered through a modernist lens, where architectural forms unfold along a gently receding road, and  executed in oil onto board.

    Arched doorways, small staircases, and balcony details hint at a southern European setting, while stylised trees punctuate the scene with a sense of warmth and calm. The composition draws the eye inward, inviting the viewer to wander through this tranquil, almost dreamlike streetscape.

    This structured work shows clear Cubist and geometric abstract influences, particularly in the faceted treatment of buildings and ground planes. Forms are broken into angular segments and overlapping geometric shapes, flattening perspective while simultaneously creating depth.

    A muted yet expressive palette anchors the composition, with warm terracotta, blush pink, sandy beige, and soft browns tones contrasted against cool greys and dusty blues. Accents of green in the foliage introduce freshness and visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and purposeful, applied in broad, confident planes rather than fine detail. The layered paint application enhances the faceted Cubist structure, with tonal shifts used to suggest light, shadow, and architectural depth. The surface retains a gently textured, painterly quality that adds warmth and movement to the geometric composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a few minor scuffs.

  • Houses by the Sea

    Houses by the Sea

    £485

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a quiet coastal scene viewed from a gently rising hillside, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two angular, red-roofed houses sit nestled into the land, their simple forms silhouetted against a wide expanse of luminous blue sea. The composition draws the eye naturally from the darker, earth-toned foreground up toward the glowing horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and calm.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified architecture, balanced geometry, and an emphasis on mood over fine detail. The houses are rendered with bold, confident shapes, while surrounding trees and foliage are loosely suggested rather than precisely defined. This restraint gives the work a timeless, contemplative quality.

    The colour palette is both rich and harmonious. Deep greens, mossy browns, and muted browns dominate the foreground, contrasted beautifully by the saturated cobalt and ultramarine blues of the sea. Above, a soft, sunlit sky in pale yellows and creams introduces warmth and light, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Subtle flashes of orange and red in the buildings act as focal points within the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive yet controlled. The sky is built up with soft, layered strokes that create a gentle, luminous texture, while the landscape below features broader, more gestural marks, allowing colours to blend and breathe. The overall paint application feels confident and painterly, capturing both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric modernist style coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline at low tide, where land, sea, and sky dissolve gently into one another, executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    The composition is horizontally layered, with a wide, luminous sky pressing softly down onto a narrow band of distant water and a foreground of windswept beach and tidal flats. The scene feels expansive yet intimate, evoking the stillness of a pause between weather or the calm after movement.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction while remaining rooted in observation. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over detail. The horizon line is slightly softened, reinforcing a sense of openness and distance.

    The colour palette is restrained and harmonious. Pale blues, soft greys, and milky whites dominate the sky, creating an airy, light-filled backdrop. The sea is rendered in muted blue-green tones with darker accents suggesting gentle wave movement. In the foreground, earthy rusts, warm browns, sandy creams, and touches of olive and slate introduce warmth and texture, grounding the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and confident, applied with broad gestures. Thick, layered paint creates a tactile surface, particularly in the foreground, where sweeping strokes suggest sand, rock, and shallow water without literal detail. The sky is handled more softly, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s calm, atmospheric quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Spider Monkey

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemporary painting depicting a whimsical monkey poised on a gently curving tree branch, painted in oil on panel in a naïve style by British artist Matt Rix.

    The figure moves with a quiet assurance, its elongated limbs and arched tail creating a sense of rhythm and balance across the composition. Stylised leaves punctuate the scene, floating lightly around the figure and reinforcing the open, uncluttered setting.

    The style is intentionally naïve and pared back, with flattened forms and simplified anatomy that echo folk art influences. The colour palette is soft and restrained: a pale blue-grey ground sets a calm tone, while deep charcoal and black define the figure, offset by a light cream face. Muted olive greens and warm brown accents add gentle contrast.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled with a matte finish, emphasising shape and line over texture. The overall effect is calm and gently playful, capturing a moment of quiet movement and balance.

    This oil on board is housed in a black painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

    The style is intentionally naïve and pared back, with flattened forms and simplified anatomy that draw on folk art influences. The sloth’s softly expressive face adds warmth and approachability.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious. A pale blue-grey background creates a serene atmosphere, while warm brown tones define the sloth and branch. Soft olive greens appear in the leaves, providing gentle contrast without disrupting the overall calm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled with a matte finish, emphasising shape and line over texture. The overall effect is tranquil and subtly whimsical, capturing a moment of rest and balance that feels both tender and contemplative.

    The composition is pared back, allowing the single figure to become both the focal point and the emotional anchor of the work. Sparse foliage punctuates the scene, floating around the sloth like pauses in thought, reinforcing a sense of stillness and calm.

    The style is deliberately simplified, with a subtle nod to folk art and modern naïve painting. Flattened forms and soft contours give the subject an emblematic rather than literal presence, while the sloth’s rounded body and elongated limbs create a gentle rhythm across the board, anchored by the horizontal branch.

    A restrained, soothing palette of warm brown and taupe contrasts with a muted blue-grey background, accented by soft green leaves. Smooth, matte brushstrokes and a lightly textured surface enhance the contemplative mood of the piece.

The colour palette is soft and restrained: a pale blue-grey ground sets a calm tone, while deep charcoal and black define the figure, offset by a light cream face. Muted olive greens and warm brown accents add gentle contrast.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled with a matte finish, emphasising form over texture. Overall, the work conveys a sense of balance, gentle humour, and stillness, capturing a fleeting pause that feels both playful and reflective.

    This oil on board is housed in a black painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • The Gathering Walk

    The Gathering Walk

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and lively mid century painting that captures a rhythmic gathering of figures moving through a tree-lined avenue toward a distant monument, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The scene feels communal and celebratory, suggesting a village gathering or a festival, rendered with an expressive looseness that prioritises mood and movement over precise detail.

    This expressive composition balances structure and spontaneity. The figures are simplified into bold, gestural forms, while the trees rise vertically on either side, creating a natural corridor that draws the eye inward. The architectural elements in the background anchor the scene, offering a quiet sense of place amid the animated crowd.

    The colour palette is vibrant and optimistic: fresh greens dominate the trees, contrasted by a striking pastel pink sky and soft blue undertones. Pops of red, coral, and cobalt animate the figures, lending energy and warmth to the composition. These colours are applied with confidence, often layered to allow underlying tones to remain visible.

    Brushstrokes are thick, textured, and deliberately expressive, with visible impasto throughout. Short, dynamic strokes define the crowd, while broader, more rhythmic marks shape the trees and sky. The overall effect is playful yet composed – a joyful, human-centred work that embodies optimism.

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

  • Walking Home Together

    Walking Home Together

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century naïve style street scene painting that captures a gentle moment of everyday life, as two figures walk side by side along a softly curving village road, executed in oil onto board.

    Modest houses with pitched roofs line the street, their forms simplified into harmonious blocks of colour, while a tall green fence guides the eye toward the distance. The figures, seen from behind, lend the composition a quiet intimacy and a sense of unspoken narrative – suggesting companionship, routine, and the calm rhythm of a small town.

    The work balances figurative detail with abstraction. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, and perspective is slightly naïve, giving the scene an almost memory-like quality.

    The palette is soft yet expressive: muted blues, sage greens, and warm browns are offset by gentle greys and creamy whites. Occasional accents of pastel pink and lavender add warmth and visual interest without disrupting the overall calm.

    Loose, confident brushstrokes are applied with visible texture, particularly in the road and building facades. The paint handling feels intuitive and painterly, with layered strokes that create movement and depth while maintaining a relaxed, unpolished charm.

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

  • Still Life with Blue Cup

    Still Life with Blue Cup

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century still life that presents a calm tabletop arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts two ceramic jugs, a small blue cup, and a pair of apples – set against a simplified interior backdrop. The composition feels intimate and considered, with each form carefully spaced to create balance and quiet rhythm across the horizontal canvas.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has reduced the objects to solid, gently rounded forms, emphasising structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the shapes to sit confidently within the picture plane rather than receding deeply into space.

    The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: cool blues and soft greys dominate the vessels and background, contrasted by the warm yellow-green and blush tones of the apples. A muted green tabletop anchors the composition, while deeper blue shadows add depth and visual weight without disturbing the overall calm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and softly textured, lending the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are slightly softened rather than sharply defined, giving the scene a relaxed, contemplative mood. Together, the colours and brushwork evoke a sense of domestic stillness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen and gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some small water marks to its innermost parts, consistent with its vintage character.

  • 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.

  • Fields at First Light

    Fields at First Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tranquil mid-century landscape that presents a serene, panoramic view of open countryside unfolding beneath a pale sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959, measuring a metre in length.

    Broad fields stretch gently into the distance, punctuated by a softly clustered stand of trees at the centre and a darker wooded horizon beyond. The composition’s horizontal emphasis enhances the sense of calm and quiet continuity, drawing the eye slowly across the land rather than toward a single focal point.

    Painted in a restrained mid-century modern style, the work favours atmosphere and balance over fine detail. The colour palette is subtle and harmonious: warm buttery yellows and soft ochres in the fields are offset by muted sage and olive greens, with blush and dusty rose tones delicately shaping the trees. Above, a pale, airy sky in washed blues and off-whites lends lightness and openness to the scene.

    Brushstrokes are loose and confident, applied in flattened planes with visible texture that gives the surface a gentle rhythm. The handling feels intuitive and expressive, allowing colours to softly merge at their edges while still maintaining a clear sense of structure. Overall, the painting captures a quiet, contemplative moment in nature.

    This long oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen lined frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

    Size: 50 x 100 cm (including frame)

  • City Blocks

    City Blocks

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century street scene that captures a pared-back urban landscape viewed through a distinctly modernist lens, painted in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Kurt Lindon (1910-1985), whose works can be found in the collections at the Stockholm City Museum, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Linköping Museum, Östersund Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, and the Borås Art Museum

    Low-rise buildings and taller rectangular forms are arranged in a calm, horizontal rhythm, punctuated by a slender vertical tower that anchors the composition. Sparse trees and simplified street elements suggest human presence without overt narrative, lending the scene a quiet, contemplative mood.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting favours structure and balance over detail. Architectural forms are reduced to blocks of colour, with an emphasis on proportion, negative space, and the interplay between verticals and horizontals. The perspective feels gently flattened, reinforcing the mid-century aesthetic and its departure from strict realism.

    The colour palette is subtle and sophisticated: soft greys, chalky whites, muted blues, olive greens, and warm earthy browns are offset by occasional touches of brick red and mustard. These tonal contrasts create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and calm.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet economical: broad, flat applications of paint define buildings and streets, while lighter, slightly textured strokes add movement and variation across the surface. The paint handling feels deliberate, allowing the composition and colour relationships to carry the emotional weight of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • A Pause Between Places

    A Pause Between Places

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century figurative landscape that captures a quiet, contemplative moment at the boundary between nature and the built environment, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    A group of abstracted figures sit near a winding path, their forms simplified yet expressive, while a pair of stylised trees rise beside them – curving, organic silhouettes that anchor the composition. In the distance, block-like architectural forms suggest a town or cityscape, softened and abstracted to create a sense of calm detachment rather than urban bustle.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern idiom, the painting balances figuration and abstraction with ease. The artist has used flattened planes, rhythmic shapes, and a gently asymmetrical composition to guide the eye through the scene. There is a lyrical, almost poetic quality to the arrangement, where figures, trees, and buildings coexist in quiet harmony.

    The palette is warm and nuanced, featuring soft creams, sandy beiges, pale blues, and blush tones, punctuated by deeper earthy browns, rust reds, olive greens, and muted teals. These contrasting yet harmonious colours lend the work both warmth and depth, while maintaining a light, airy atmosphere.

    Confident, visible brushstrokes define the surface, with areas of loose, gestural paint layered against more opaque, block-like applications. Subtle scraping and overlaps reveal underlayers of colour, adding texture and movement. The painterly approach enhances the sense of spontaneity and modernist freedom characteristic of mid-century works.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a slight unevenness to the board but this is purely structural and does not affect the stability or visual impact of the artwork.

  • Patchwork Landscape

    Patchwork Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century abstract landscape that presents a gently rolling countryside punctuated by a solitary red-roofed dwelling, nestled among tall, stylised trees executed in oil onto board.

    The scene is composed as a patchwork of interlocking fields and winding paths, drawing the eye inward through a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement of forms. The house becomes a quiet focal point – an anchor of human presence within a broader, cultivated landscape.

    The landscape has been reduced into geometric planes and simplified silhouettes. Perspective is subtly flattened, favouring structure and composition over naturalistic depth, lending the work a contemplative, design-led quality.

    The colour palette is earthy and restrained: moss and olive greens, warm browns, and burnt oranges dominate the terrain, while the vivid red roof provides a striking yet balanced contrast. Soft greys and subdued blues in the background create atmosphere and spatial calm.

    Brushstrokes are confident and matte, applied in broad, opaque blocks with visible edges. Rather than blending, the artist allows colours to sit alongside one another, enhancing the sense of construction and rhythm.

    This oil on board is housed in a softly weathered  grey-brown tone frame with subtle warm undertones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Harbour at Rest

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century seascape that captures a tranquil harbour scene where moored fishing boats rest gently along the quay, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    The composition is anchored by two vessels, their masts and rigging forming a rhythmic lattice against a pale, open sky. A simple waterside building to the right introduces architectural balance, while the calm inlet reflects the boats in softened, broken tones, reinforcing the stillness of the moment.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours structure and mood over detail. Forms are simplified and confidently blocked in, lending the scene a quiet solidity and timeless charm.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious, dominated by soft greys, weathered whites, warm and earthy browns, with subtle accents of black and a touch of brick red along the roofline. These tones suggest early morning light and a cool coastal air, while the water is rendered in pale blues and silvery reflections.

    Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and clearly visible, particularly in the sky and water, where layered strokes create movement and texture without disrupting the overall calm. Thicker applications of paint define the boats and quay, giving them tactile presence and depth.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain as well as an outer gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • A Moment at Sea

    A Moment at Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene and minimalist mid-century seascape that distils the vastness of the ocean into a moment of quiet contemplation, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A single, small vessel floats gently across an expansive field of calm water, its presence subtle yet poetic against the open horizon. The composition is deliberately minimal, inviting the viewer to linger on atmosphere rather than narrative, and evoking a sense of solitude, balance, and slow passage of time.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style characteristic of mid-century painting, the work favours simplicity of form and clarity of mood over detail. The palette is dominated by soft blue-green and grey tones, gently modulated to suggest shifting light across the sea’s surface. Muted earth hues anchor the lower edge, subtly grounding the composition.

    The brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with fine textural variations visible across the painted surface. Delicate tonal transitions create depth and movement within the otherwise tranquil plane of water, while the small, darker accents of the boat provide a quiet focal point. Altogether, the painting embodies the fascination with reduction, atmosphere, and the emotional power of understatement.

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

    Passing Light

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive mid-century figurative painting that captures a procession of elongated figures moving through a softly lit interior space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rendered with a dreamlike sense of motion, the figures appear to overlap and dissolve into one another, suggesting the quiet anonymity and rhythm of everyday life. One central figure, subtly more defined and luminous, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s eye, creating a moment of pause amid the flow.

    There is an emphasis on mood and gesture over precise detail. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, lending the scene an introspective, almost existential quality reminiscent of post-war European figurative painting.

    The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by warm creams, sand, soft browns, and muted greys, with gentle accents of pale blue and hints of earthy green. These tones enhance the painting’s sense of light and space, while maintaining a calm, contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are loose, layered, and expressive, with visible textures that give the figures a transient presence. The paint is applied with a dry, feathered touch in places, allowing the background to breathe through the forms, reinforcing the impression of movement and impermanence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm, off-white tone frame that echoes the painting’s palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Calm Coast

    Calm Coast

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline moment where 2 boats rest on pale sand as the tide gently recedes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    The coastline curves softly into the distance, leading the eye toward low hills and a scattering of seaside buildings that dissolve into the hazy horizon. The composition balances stillness and movement: the grounded boats anchoring the foreground while the waterline sweeps gracefully along the shore.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours simplification over detail. Forms are reduced to broad planes and subtle contours, lending the scene a calm, contemplative rhythm. The palette is restrained and harmonious, with soft sands, muted sage and olive greens, and cool coastal blues, all gently warmed by blush and sandy undertones.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, applied in layered, painterly passages that create texture without heaviness. The surface retains a light, airy quality, with visible strokes lending a sense of immediacy and atmosphere. Overall, the painting evokes a serene coastal pause – timeless, understated, and deeply evocative of mid-century European seaside sensibilities.

  • After the Rain

    After the Rain

    Sold

    SOLD

    A nostalgic mid-century street scene painting that captures a moment of hushed movement after rainfall, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition captures figures walking along a wet, reflective roadway beneath a pale, cloud-laden sky. A modest row of houses recedes into the distance, while bare winter trees punctuate the composition, their slender trunks guiding the eye along the street’s gentle perspective. The pedestrians are rendered with understated anonymity, suggesting everyday life unfolding quietly rather than a specific narrative.

    Stylistically, the painting balances realism with painterly abstraction. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, favouring mood and atmosphere over fine detail. The colour palette is restrained and harmonious: cool greys, muted blues, and soft whites dominate the sky and pavement, contrasted by earthy browns, mossy greens, and deep charcoals in the buildings and figures.

    The brushwork is loose yet controlled. Broad, horizontal strokes suggest the sheen of rain on the street, while lighter, scumbled layers in the sky create a sense of drifting cloud and damp air. Figures are defined with economical marks, giving them a quiet solidity without overstatement. Overall, the painting conveys calm introspection, capturing the poetic stillness of a street moment suspended between weather and movement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wide-profile wood frame that complements the painting’s mid-century character. The artwork itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows age-commensurate wear, including a few marks to its edges as shown, however this does not detract from its overall presentation.

  • The Piano

    The Piano

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative painting dated 1978 that presents an upright piano reduced to its essential forms, transforming a familiar domestic object into a study of mood and structure, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The instrument is shown front-on, its keyboard stretching horizontally across the composition, with an open book of sheet music hovering at the centre like a quiet focal point. Subtle hints of pedals below ground the piano in space, while the surrounding fields of colour dissolve the setting into something more psychological than literal.

    The work favours simplification over detail and atmosphere over realism. The piano’s solid mass is rendered in broad, blocky shapes, lending it a sculptural presence, while the perspective is gently skewed, adding a sense of introspection and stillness rather than strict accuracy.

    The colour palette is both restrained and expressive. Deep blacks and charcoal browns of the piano are softened by surrounding planes of olive green, moss, muted yellow, and a warm rust-red edge, creating a subtle tension between cool and warm tones. The white of the keys and sheet music emerges softly from the darker body, glowing rather than sharply contrasting.

    Brushstrokes are visible and deliberate, applied in layered, matte passages that flatten the surface while retaining texture. Edges are softened and slightly blurred, allowing forms to bleed gently into one another. This painterly handling enhances the quiet, contemplative mood of the piece, suggesting not sound or performance, but the pause before music begins – a moment of silence filled with potential.

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

    House Beyond the Green

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quiet and serene mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a small white house that sits partially hidden within dense, verdant foliage. Set back from the viewer and framed by trees, the dwelling feels both secluded and gently anchored to its surroundings. A band of water runs horizontally through the middle ground, separating the lush greens above from the warmer, earth-toned foreground, creating a subtle sense of depth and balance.

    The style is distinctly mid-century in its simplification of forms and emphasis on mood over detail. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, while the landscape is expressed through broad planes of colour rather than precise delineation. The composition feels calm and introspective, inviting the viewer to linger in the stillness of the scene.

    The palette is rich yet harmonious: layered greens dominate the canvas, ranging from deep forest tones to lighter, almost luminous grassy hues. These are contrasted by a soft blue sky and water, which cool the composition, and a striking foreground of burnt orange and rust tones that adds warmth and visual weight.

    Brushstrokes are loose and painterly, with visible texture throughout. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest foliage and ground, allowing colours to blend organically at their edges. This tactile surface quality enhances the sense of atmosphere and reinforces the painting’s expressive, mid-century character.

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative mid-century still life that presents a quiet interior moment set against a distant landscape,  painted in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a tabletop arrangement of fruit: a crescent slice of watermelon, a rounded green melon, and a dark plum sits alongside a simple tumbler, all positioned before an open window with shuttered sides. Beyond the window, a sparse rural scene unfolds: whitewashed buildings, rolling fields, and softly contoured mountains receding into a muted horizon. The composition gently balances interior intimacy with exterior openness, inviting the viewer to linger between the domestic and the expansive.

    Stylistically, the work reflects classic mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified forms, flattened perspective, and a deliberate restraint in detail. The palette is calm and earthy – dusty greys, sage and olive greens, soft blues, and chalky whites – punctuated by the gentle blush pink of the watermelon flesh, which acts as a subtle focal point. Darker tones around the window frame and tabletop anchor the composition and create a sense of enclosure.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Broad, matte strokes define planes and objects, while visible brush marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are softly articulated rather than sharply drawn, contributing to the work’s contemplative mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined mid-century still life that presents a quiet tabletop arrangement composed of a dark glass bottle, a delicate wine glass holding a small measure of red wine, and a vivid green apple,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a cool, muted background, the composition balances solidity and translucence, with the reflective tabletop subtly mirroring the forms above it. A secondary, shadowed bottle in the background adds depth and a sense of spatial calm, while loosely suggested vertical planes hint at an interior setting beyond the table’s edge.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist mid-century style, the painting favours simplified forms and tonal harmony over strict realism. The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: smoky blue-greys and slate tones dominate the background, offset by the rich emerald of the bottle, the jewel-like crimson of the wine, and the luminous, almost electric green of the apple. These carefully placed accents draw the eye and create a gentle visual rhythm across the surface.

    The brushwork is confident, with visible strokes lending texture and life to the painted surface. Broad, matte passages contrast with more fluid, translucent handling in the glassware, where light and reflection are suggested rather than meticulously detailed.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame with visible grain.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The White Doors

    The White Doors

    £515

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that presents a quietly striking view of a barn facade,  painted in oil onto canvas board.

    The composition is front-facing and architectural, reducing the subject to its essential planes and proportions. White doors – each slightly misaligned and marked by age – create a rhythmic sequence across the surface, punctuated by hinges, latches, and subtle irregularities in the wood.

    Stylistically, the work reflects a mid-century modern sensibility, where everyday vernacular architecture is treated with restraint and formal clarity. The artist balances realism with a gently abstracted approach, emphasising geometry, repetition, and surface texture over narrative detail.

    The colour palette is warm yet grounded: rich reds dominate the background, softened by the chalky whites and pale greys of the doors. Muted shadows and earthy undertones add depth, while the roofline introduces a darker band that anchors the composition.

    Brushstrokes are deliberate and tactile, particularly visible in the vertical planks and the layered paint on the doors. The handling of paint suggests careful observation: neither loose nor overly polished, allowing the texture of wood and the passage of time to subtly emerge. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of stillness and quiet endurance, capturing beauty in the functional and the worn.

  • Sliced Lemons

    Sliced Lemons

    £765

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A cubist inspired still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The focal point is a pair of sliced lemons, painted in thick, creamy strokes of yellow, white, and peach, giving them a fresh, tactile presence. Beside the fruit is a green pear-like form, adding another organic shape and hue. These items rest on a dark surface, perhaps a tabletop, which is painted in large, angular blocks of navy and black.

    A small brown table or cabinet with short legs sits in the upper right quadrant. It appears simplified and stylised, reinforcing the abstracted, geometric quality of the whole scene.

    This piece is heavily influenced by Cubism and early modernism. Forms are reduced to flat planes and hard-edged shapes and the brushwork is confident but restrained. There is a visible grid-like structure as if the artist constructed the composition like a puzzle.

    The painting feels studied, measured, and designed, like an artist exploring how to deconstruct the familiar (fruit and furniture) into new visual language. It invites the viewer to slow down, observe form over realism, and enjoy the way light and space are broken into segments. The fractured composition gives it a slightly modern, mosaic-like effect, almost architectural in nature.

    The painting is housed in a light grey wood with a weathered patina and a gently bevelled design. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Dance the Night Away

    Dance the Night Away

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively, cubist-inspired depiction of a dance scene, painted in oil onto board.
    Bursting with movement, music, and social energy, the artist has stylised the human figures into angular, geometric forms, using dynamic composition and vivid colour to capture the joy and motion of a moment frozen in time.

    The palette is warm and rich, dominated by reds, oranges, yellows, and earthy browns, contrasted with purples, greens, and soft greys. Movement is conveyed not just through the figures but through the background, which is fractured into diagonal planes, giving the scene energy and rhythm.

    The dance, the music, and the expressive poses suggest a night of uninhibited fun. This painting is a beautiful example of how modernist geometry and vibrant social scenes can merge into something timeless and full of spirit.

    This oil on board is housed in a wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some very light scuffing to the frame but it is  good condition overall.

  • Still Life Elements

    Still Life Elements

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

     A bold and stylised mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1955.
    Blending cubist and modernist influences, the composition is defined by strong, simplified shapes and vivid colour blocking, creating a playful yet structured visual experience. The painting features an arrangement of classic still life elements including a pitcher, a teapot, bottles, a cup, and several round red fruits. Bright green leaves sprawl across the foreground, adding organic curves against the sharper forms behind them.

    These pops of vibrant red in the fruit and rich green in the leaves create striking contrast. A triangular beam of yellow light or background wall shape adds dynamic energy and depth to the scene.

    The shadows are bold and geometric, not naturalistic, adding a graphic design-like quality that emphasises form over realism.

    This painting embraces a modernist abstraction of still life, similar in spirit to the work of Fernand Léger or early Picasso. It feels both playful and calculated, as if each shape is carefully placed like pieces in a visual puzzle. It also has a slightly theatrical feel, as if lit from stage lights, enhancing its sense of constructed drama.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully distressed vintage wood frame.  The painting has some areas of craquelure as shown in the photos but it is very stable overall. The frame has some scuffing, commensurate with age.

  • The Open Window

    The Open Window

    £490

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, serene and light-filled mid-century coastal scene viewed from an open window,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    This tranquil painting invites the viewer into a sunlit summer morning by the sea. The composition is framed by delicate, sheer curtains billowing gently inward, softening the transition between interior and exterior. Beyond the window lies a lush garden bursting with violet blue delphiniums and pale pink blooms, leading the eye toward a sparkling expanse of ocean where the sun casts a gentle shimmer across the water.

    Rendered in a soft, lyrical mid-century style, the palette is dominated by airy whites, fresh greens, pastel blues, and gentle pinks, creating a sense of calm and effortless charm. The artist has used light, feathery brushstrokes to capture the translucency of the curtains and the movement of the foliage, while smoother, blended strokes describe the distant horizon and glowing sky. Subtle impasto in the floral areas adds texture and depth, enhancing the sense of a garden alive with colour and breeze.

    A peaceful and evocative work that beautifully captures the nostalgia of coastal summers and the quiet poetry of a room opening onto nature.

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

    Size: 72.5 x 80 cm (including frame)

  • Old Town

    Old Town

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming, atmospheric street scene rendered in oil onto board, with a warm, nostalgic tone.

     

    It captures a European old-town alleyway, showing a narrow, cobblestone street lined with tall ochre and terracotta-coloured buildings. The architecture features classic stone archways, multi-pane windows, and slanted rooftops with chimneys, evoking a sense of timelessness and quiet charm. Several small, loosely rendered human figures animate the scene, creating depth and movement.

    The overall feel is calm and contemplative, bathed in soft natural light from a lightly clouded sky. There’s a slight coolness in the air, reflected in the pale blue and grey tones of the sky and shadows. Despite being sparsely populated, the street feels alive, suggesting the gentle hum of daily life. The brushwork is tight but expressive, with small, visible strokes in the sky and textured surfaces on the buildings, giving the painting a lived-in, tactile quality.

    This is the kind of painting that tells a story of ordinary moments, old places, and the soft rhythms of daily life in a historic city.

    This oil on board is housed in a grey painted wide bevelled wood frame which complements it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown in the photos.

  • The Seamstress

    The Seamstress

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tender and expressive mid-century figurative scene,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a woman seated on a wooden chair, bent gently over her sewing, with a classic black sewing machine resting on a sturdy wooden table before her. Her posture conveys concentration and routine – an everyday ritual rendered with warmth and familiarity.

    The style is expressive and loose. Forms are suggested rather than defined, allowing the viewer’s eye to fill in the narrative. Soft, hazy outlines and impressionistic strokes give the composition a spontaneous, lived-in quality.

    The colour palette is warm and muted: blush pinks in the woman’s blouse, soft greys and taupes in her skirt, browns and light neutrals in the surrounding interior. Hints of red in her shoes and subtle greens and yellows in the background bring gentle vibrancy to the scene.

    Brushstrokes are confident and gestural – broad sweeps for the furniture, short textured strokes for fabric and hair, and looser scumbles to build the diffused light of the room. Together, they create a beautifully atmospheric study of everyday work, captured with grace and sensitivity.

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

  • Riverside Boulevard (Very large)

    Riverside Boulevard (Very large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and lively cityscape bursting with movement and colour, dated 1974 and painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The scene centres around a pair of ornate towers rising from a bustling square, their facades animated with bright decorative motifs. Surrounding them, saturated-toned buildings with warm red roofs line the horizon, while to the right a gentle river curves through the city, complete with moored boats and strolling figures. Cars, pedestrians and flowing pathways fill the foreground, giving the scene an energetic, almost theatrical rhythm.

    Rendered in a highly expressive and fauvist style, the work embraces bold contour lines and playful distortion to convey atmosphere rather than strict realism. The palette is vibrant and uplifting: lemon yellow, turquoise, sky blue, coral, and soft reds creating a sun-drenched glow across the composition. Brushstrokes are loose, gestural and almost calligraphic, with dashes, swirls and rhythmic marks animating every surface. The result is a joyful, kinetic interpretation of urban life, full of colour and charm.

  • The Craft of Two

    The Craft of Two

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet impactful mid-century figurative scene capturing two figures seated side by side and absorbed in an activity,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    The figures’ forms are simplified into soft blocks of colour, giving the composition a lyrical stillness: one figure in a warm rose-brown dress, the other rendered in deeper charcoal tones. Both bend slightly forward, hands engaged over a table, suggesting companionship, focus, and the quiet rituals of everyday life.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist, reductionist style, the artist has distilled the scene into broad, confident shapes rather than fine detail. The palette is muted yet harmonious: pale greys, warm browns, sandy yellows, and touches of turquoise that lift the composition. The background is kept intentionally understated, allowing the figures to hold the emotional weight of the piece.

    Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and opaque: applied in thick, purposeful patches that gradually build the forms. Edges are softened, merging figure and space in a way that feels intimate and contemplative.

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

    Arrangement by the Window

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined mid-century interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This composition arranges everyday objects into a poised, almost architectural tableau. A bowl of brightly coloured fruit anchors the scene, set upon a warm brown tabletop alongside two citrus forms and a slender candlestick. Above, a dark mortar and pestle sits against a softly diffused window, where vertical strokes evoke sheer curtains and architectural buildings. Along the lower register, abstract floral or fruit-like motifs echo the colours above, creating a rhythmic visual balance.

    Rendered in a modernist, reductive style, the painting favours simplified shapes and carefully weighted blocks of colour over fine detail. Softly scumbled brushstrokes and visible edges give the work a textural, atmospheric quality, while the artist’s palette – dusty blues, muted greys, warm ochres, soft greens, and small bursts of orange and yellow lends calmness punctuated by subtle vibrancy. The overall effect is contemplative and elegant, transforming a quiet domestic moment into a study of harmony, form, and mood.

    Winter Light at Dusk

    £615

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An evocative mid-century modernist landscape scene with figure, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting captures a solitary figure standing before a quiet winter landscape as an orange sun dips low against a muted sky. The composition is distilled into simplified geometric forms: angular rooftops, rounded treetops, and broad planes of snow – creating a serene yet contemplative atmosphere.

    Rendered in cool tones of slate blue, charcoal, dove grey and icy white, the palette is beautifully punctuated by the warm, amber glow of the setting sun. The artist has used confident, stylised brushstrokes, outlining forms with inky, expressive lines that lend the scene a graphic clarity. Areas of flat colour are softened by subtle modulation, giving depth to the snowy fields and the silhouetted figure.

    The overall effect is both still and cinematic: a quiet winter moment reduced to its essential shapes, colours and mood, with a strong sense of restraint and poetic minimalism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful frame with a grey-wash wood grain finish. The painting in good vintage condition overall – with some marks and warp to the canvas.

  • Quiet Readers

    Quiet Readers

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene and beautifully distilled mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ingvar Elén (1915–1973), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Museum in Sweden, and the Sörmlands Museum.

    This composition features three seated figures, their forms reduced to soft geometric shapes and gentle interlocking silhouettes. Arranged in a subtle diagonal rhythm, the trio appears absorbed in quiet, individual focus: one reading, the others seated nearby – capturing a moment of shared stillness without explicit interaction.

    The artist has relied on flattened planes of colour and carefully balanced tones to define each figure: warm peach, deep teal, olive green, charcoal grey, ochre, and soft clay-like browns. The palette is harmonious and understated, allowing the shapes and spatial arrangement to take centre stage. Their shadows and clothing become abstract colour blocks, lending the work a sculptural, almost collage-like quality.

    Brushwork is smooth, matte, and subtly textured, with edges that are softened rather than sharply drawn. This creates a calm, meditative surface where each figure is distinct yet integrated into the overall rhythm of the composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there is some craquelure visible on the central figure’s arm, however, the paint layer remains stable, and this does not detract from the overall presentation of the work.

    A joyful and pleasant mid-century landscape that captures the essence of a bright day, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition centres on a winding path that gently curves upward between two softened, block-like structures – suggesting houses – positioned on either side. Lush, expressive greenery flanks the path, giving the scene a sense of movement and breezy energy.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting favours simplified forms, bold shapes, and confident, gestural brushwork over fine detail. The palette is uplifting and crisp: vivid turquoise skies, velvety greens, sandy browns, and touches of warm terracotta on the rooftops.

    Broad, sweeping strokes convey the foliage with speed and spontaneity, while the smooth, curved brushwork of the path introduces calmness and flow. The overall effect is fresh and  optimistic, and captures the simple pleasure of a hillside walk.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century figurative scene capturing two quiet moments at a cafe, painted in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a seated figure in a deep navy jacket and soft blue beret rests a hand on the edge of a round cafe table, their form simplified into warm, tonal blocks of colour. Behind them, another figure is absorbed in reading, rendered with the same softened anonymity. A bright window view opens out to terracotta rooftops and a leafy green tree, bathing the interior in a gentle, diffused glow.

    Painted in a restrained, modernist style, the composition favours suggestion over detail. Colours are muted yet fresh – powder blues, sage greens, clay reds, and chalky neutrals form a harmonious palette. The brushwork is tactile and deliberate, with thick, confident strokes that create a pleasing sense of texture and movement. Figures and objects are shaped through broad patches of pigment rather than fine modelling, giving the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    This charming coastal scene captures a quiet path leading toward the shimmering shoreline. Tall, slender trees frame the composition, their canopies rendered in cool greens and muted teals, gently swaying above the sandy walkway. A pale house sits nestled in the background, its warm ochre tones subtly contrasting with the cool blues of the distant sea and sky.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the work features broad, confident blocks of colour and simplified forms, allowing atmosphere and light to take centre stage. The artist has used thick, textured brushstrokes: especially in the foliage – creating lively movement and softness at once. The palette is refreshing and serene: sea-blues, grassy greens, soft lilacs, sandy neutrals, and warm earth tones blend harmoniously to evoke a breezy, coastal afternoon.

  • Grounded Figure

    Grounded Figure

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking example of mid century abstract expressionism, composed with a powerful arrangement of dark, geometric blocks layered over a pale, neutral background. It evokes a sense of architectural form and emotional depth, blending both structure and mood.

    The painting is built from overlapping angular shapes, creating a central form that resembles a figure. There is a dominant vertical element that draws the eye upward, almost like a shadowy  figure in motion.

    Deep blacks, earthy browns, and muted purples form the core structure. Subtle highlights of white, grey, and a touch of greenish-yellow offer contrast without overpowering the dark tones. The background is a soft, slightly textured white-beige, creating negative space that lets the central form breathe.

    The brushwork varies, with some areas roughly textured and dry-brushed, and others smooth and solid. This contrast in technique gives the piece visual rhythm and a sense of movement, even though the composition is largely still.

    The mood of the painting is introspective, solemn, and grounded. It feels like a study in form and presence, hinting at emotional or symbolic weight beneath the abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in an elegantly understated frame with a weathered silver finish and a linen lined border, reflecting its mid century feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing but this is commensurate with age.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the heart of the artwork is a vertical grid of six alternating squares—three light cream/beige and three darker maroon/burgundy, forming a checkerboard column. The varying texture of these squares displays the woven materials wonderfully, contrasting with the flatness of the background.

    The entire surface is a deep, muted red, subtly distressed to reveal horizontal striations and small imperfections. These faint abrasions and vertical marks break the uniformity, suggesting time, wear, and process.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    A vertical grid of nine rectangles is perfectly centred. The blocks are painted or stained in muted natural tones—sage green, forest green, golden yellow, off-white, slate blue, and pale grey-green. Each block has a slightly different surface texture, reminded us of its textile origins.

    The grid is precisely placed against a horizontal division line running through the middle of the board. This intersection anchors the composition, giving it a feeling of structural harmony. There’s a sense of order meeting time-worn imperfection—a modernist grid laid over a surface that tells a more ancient, weathered story.

  • Quiet Cottage

    Quiet Cottage

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and restful mid-century landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting depicts a low, whitewashed cottage with a dark, sloping roof nestled beside a solitary, leafless tree. The setting is open and windswept, with soft fields stretching into the horizon beneath a broad turquoise sky. The composition feels peaceful and understated, evoking the simplicity of countryside life.

    Rendered in a distinctly mid-century modernist manner, the work blends representational forms with stylised simplicity. Shapes are reduced to their essentials, and the artist favours bold outlines, flattened perspectives, and a calm, contemplative mood.

    A harmonious palette of cool turquoise and sky blue dominates the scene, contrasted with muted greens and earthy browns. The cottage’s crisp white walls create a striking focal point within the otherwise subdued and natural colour story.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating and expressive mid-century figurative painting depicting two stylised figures standing in quiet dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Their forms are abstracted yet expressive – one slender and upright, the other broader with a gently tilted head, creating an intimate sense of interaction without relying on facial detail. The figures feel sculptural, almost totemic, evoking mood through posture rather than realism.

    Rendered in a bold modernist style, the composition embraces simplified shapes and a strong graphic presence. The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by orange, rust, deep umber, charcoal, and muted mustard yellows. These tones are set against a pale, softly luminous background that enhances the painting’s sense of warmth and immediacy.

    The brushwork is confident and textural, with broad, gestural strokes that give the figures weight and movement. Layered passages of paint create subtle ridges and variations, while the looser background wash keeps the scene airy and light. There is a raw, expressive quality to the application – intentional yet spontaneous.

    A striking piece with strong presence, emotional ambiguity, and a wonderful interplay of colour and form.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary rich, dark wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight widening to the corners, some scuffs, as well as four small drill holes present  in each corner of the frame.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century coastal landscape that captures a cluster of moored boats rendered through a beautifully abstracted, almost mosaic-like lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The shoreline is broken into faceted blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic, geometric energy. Tall, slender masts rise in delicate lines against a soft pastel sky, while the boats themselves are simplified into angular shapes that evoke both structure and movement.

    The palette is fresh and inviting – greens, cool aquas, deep cobalt blues, warm yellows, and touches of plum and lavender. These colours overlap in gently textured layers, creating a harmonious interplay between land, sea, and shore.

    Brushwork is subtle yet expressive, with short, blocky strokes and light scumbling that mimic the look of hand-pressed prints or coloured pastels. The surface feels lively and tactile, lending the coastal scene a sense of breezy spontaneity while remaining distinctly modernist in its composition and restraint.

  • Sunset Mosaic Coastline

    Sunset Mosaic Coastline

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and playful mid-century coastal landscape capturing the sun as it dips toward the horizon, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    This expressive work presents a joyful, almost rhythmic interpretation of a seaside scene. Two stylised birch-like trees frame the composition, their graphic black outlines and emerald foliage creating a lively archway that guides the viewer’s gaze toward the glowing red sun and shimmering water beyond. The shoreline curves gently into view, rendered in warm sandy yellows and soft greens that lend the scene a welcoming, idyllic quality.

    Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, this striking painting is characterised by its rich colours and playful repetition of marks and a mosaic-like scattering of forms across the sky and sea. The artist has used bold, looping linework and patchwork colour fields to create a sense of movement – waves ripple in textured dashes of white, coral, and blue, while the sky hums with pink and powder-blue strokes interspersed with touches of gold.

    The palette is delightfully energetic: fresh greens, sky blues, pastel pinks, bright whites, and vivid reds work in harmony to create a composition that feels both spontaneous and carefully orchestrated. Brushstrokes are short, layered, and expressive, giving the surface a highly tactile quality and echoing the lively energy of the natural world reimagined through a mid-century modern lens.

    A charming and dynamic coastal view that radiates warmth, optimism, and artistic personality.

The palette leans toward harmonious earth tones, punctuated by cool blues and greens that evoke dappled shade and warm Mediterranean air.

    At the centre, a white ceramic vase holds a lively bouquet of blossoms: soft blue, deep red, vivid yellow and indigo – set against a dramatic background of shadowed navy and pale grey. The floral forms are loosely defined yet full of character, capturing the spontaneity and freshness of a moment observed.

    Below, an assortment of apples, plums and a single green pear are scattered casually across the tabletop.

    Intersecting Rhythm

    Sold

    SOLD

    A dynamic mid-century abstract painting characterised by bold shapes, layered textures, and a rhythmic interplay of form and colour, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The composition is built from intersecting blocks and curved segments, suggesting movement and an underlying figurative tension while remaining firmly non-representational.

    Executed in a robust modernist style, the work embraces the era’s embrace of spontaneity and materiality. The palette features earthy orange, muted greys, olive green, off-white, deep charcoal and small flashes of cobalt blue, brick red, and sunny yellow, creating a grounded yet energetic contrast. Thick, tactile impasto passages bring a sculptural quality to the surface, where dragged strokes, textured ridges, and deliberate scoring reveal the artist’s physical engagement with the medium.

    Overall, the painting exudes strength and mid-century sophistication – a striking statement piece that celebrates form, texture, and movement.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary black painted wood frame. There is a small perforation to the canvas  as shown in the photos ( this is only visible from the back, and not from the front), but it remains stable and does not detract from the work’s overall attractiveness.

    A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

    The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

  • Under the Desert Sky

    Under the Desert Sky

    £505

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling abstract landscape with figure oil composition, painted in 1961 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The painting captures a quiet moment of communal gathering in what appears to be a sun-drenched desert setting. A group of robed figures, seated in a loose circle, are rendered in simplified forms that emphasise posture and gesture rather than facial detail – inviting the viewer to focus on atmosphere and collective presence over individual identity.

    The style is modernist and pared-back, with strong influences of mid-century abstraction. The artist distils the scene into broad planes of colour: a soft blue sky meeting a warm band of yellow horizon, and earthy tones of russet, sand and umber defining the ground. The figures themselves appear as sculptural blocks of white, cream, black and deep brown, forming a rhythmic arrangement across the composition.

    Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and deliberately visible, with the paint applied in textured swathes that give the work a grounded, tactile quality. The artist’s expressive technique conveys a sense of stillness and the intimate social rituals of desert life.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary ridged gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some wear to its corners as shown.

  • Figure in Profile

    Figure in Profile

    Sold

    A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ingvar Elén (1915–1973), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Museum in Sweden, and the Sörmlands Museum.

    The composition presents a simplified female figure shown in profile, rendered with a serene and contemplative presence. The artist has reduced the form to sculptural planes and soft geometric shapes, creating a harmonious balance between abstraction and the human silhouette.

    Set against a warm terracotta-red background, the figure is built from earthy, muted tones: olive green, beige, soft cream, and gentle peach and browns – each colour block carefully placed to suggest light, shadow, and the natural curvature of the body. The palette feels both understated and bold.

    The brushstrokes are deliberate yet textured, with visible strokes that give the flat planes a subtle tactile depth. Edges are softly defined rather than rigid, lending the piece a graceful, contemplative rhythm. The overall effect is calm, refined, and deeply atmospheric – an elegant study of form and restraint.

    A beautiful example of mid-century modernist figurative art, perfect for collectors who appreciate minimalism, colour harmony, and sculptural silhouettes.

    A  serene and atmospheric abstract landscape that captures the quiet poetry of an open horizon rendered through expressive texture and colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1994.

    The composition is anchored by a band of deep browns, charcoals and soft whites that suggest distant landforms or shifting terrain, while the foreground dissolves into warm ochres, honeyed yellows and sandy neutrals. Above, a vast expanse of pale sky – softly blended in tones of white, cream and frosted blue evokes a sense of calm, openness, and gentle movement.

    A small yet very effective charming landscape painting that captures a quiet outdoor terrace set against the gentle shimmer of a lakeside horizon, executed in oil onto board and dated 1981.

    At the centre, a white table and chairs sit bathed in warm afternoon light, their forms softened and abstracted by expressive painterly strokes. Surrounding them, lush trees and shrubs frame the scene, creating a sense of intimate seclusion with just a glimpse of the expansive water beyond.

    The composition blends representational elements with looser, gestural abstraction. The palette is harmonious and atmospheric – cool blues and greys of the sky and water contrast beautifully with the earthy greens and muted browns of the foliage and ground. Thick impasto brushstrokes bring exceptional texture and movement to the surface, particularly in the foliage where the paint is applied in layered, energetic swirls. The terrace furniture is rendered with creamy whites and pale yellows, catching the light and adding a striking focal point within the natural setting.

    A serene mid-century modernist style painting that depicts a quiet, intimate interior moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

    A female figure is seated at a table, deeply focused on her hands as she works or writes. She wears a white headscarf and a pale blue dress, her posture soft and contemplative. To her right, a simple vase holds two vivid red-orange flowers, their petals dramatically fanned and adding a lively burst of colour to the otherwise serene setting. A closed book rests on the table, anchoring the composition with a sense of stillness and domestic quiet.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work embraces simplified geometric forms, muted planes of colour, and a strong sense of design. The artist has reduced detail to essentials, relying on shape and tonal relationships to describe space and figure. The overall aesthetic is minimal, balanced, and quietly poetic.

    The palette is soft and harmonious: cool greys, pale blues, cream, soft yellow and muted greens form the foundation of the room and figure. These gentle tones are beautifully contrasted by the bold, saturated reds and oranges of the flowers, giving the composition a striking focal point without overwhelming its calm mood.

    Brushwork is smooth, controlled, and deliberate, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Edges are clean and slightly softened, contributing to the painting’s gentle, contemplative atmosphere.

    A charming and expressive street-and-harbour scene painting that  captures a lively moment along the waterfront, executed in oil onto board and dated 1976.

    Several figures stroll casually along the promenade: some walking in pairs, others heading toward a moored sailboat – while a small dog trots alongside its owner. Across the water, soft-edged buildings form a pastel skyline, giving the piece a distinctly coastal atmosphere. The scene feels leisurely and sunlit, evoking the quiet rhythm of everyday life by the marina.

    Rendered in a light, impressionistic hand, the artist has used loose, confident brushstrokes to suggest movement and light without over-defining forms.

    Windmill on the Hill

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene and elegant mid-century modernist landscape painting that presents a beautifully abstracted and minimalist landscape dominated by a solitary windmill perched on a hillside, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is built from simplified geometric forms that evoke steppe d stone terraces or clustered hillside structures, leading the eye upward toward the windmill’s delicate, linear blades. The artist has reduced the scene to its essential shapes, creating a quietly architectural interpretation of a landscape.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of soft greys, warm taupes, muted browns and charcoal accents, the work has a gentle atmospheric quality. The sky is kept pale and understated, enhancing the sense of calm and spaciousness. The brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with flat planes of colour applied in broad, opaque layers. Subtle variations within each block of tone add depth without breaking the minimalist feel, while the windmill’s fine, sketch-like lines introduce a contrasting delicacy.

    A gentle and serene mid-century landscape that depicts a quiet stand of slender trees rising gracefully from a soft, sunlit meadow, executed in oil onto board and dated 1948.

    Their pale trunks stretch upward with an airy elegance, forming delicate vertical rhythms against a hazy sky. Behind them, gentle mounds of foliage in muted greens create a sense of depth and calm, while the distant horizon rests in a band of cool blue.

    Rendered in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplification and harmony over strict naturalism. The artist reduces the scene into calming shapes and soft colour blocks, capturing the essence of place through atmosphere rather than detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained: powdery sky blues, cool greys, sage greens, and warm straw-toned yellows. Together, they evoke the soft light of a quiet morning.

    A charming and picturesque mid-century landscape that captures a quiet cluster of houses nestled within rolling green fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    The composition centres around a small hamlet, its simple geometric forms distilled into blocks of colour: red and blue rooftops, creamy white façades, and deep green foliage. A single tree rises from the village centre, its broad, dark crown creating a natural focal point amid the surrounding patchwork of shapes.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces simplification and abstraction, reducing the landscape into harmonious, interlocking planes. The artist’s palette is earthy yet vivid: rich brick reds, moss greens, browns, and blues – all balanced by softer, muted tones in the distant hills. This juxtaposition of saturated and subdued colour adds depth and a rhythmic visual cadence.

    Brushstrokes are confident and textural, with layered applications of paint that create subtle variations across the surface. Edges are softly defined, allowing forms to merge slightly into one another, giving the work its characteristic mid-century warmth and painterly charm.

    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.

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a sweeping, almost abstracted view of land meeting sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is defined by a broad diagonal plane that draws the viewer’s eye into the distance, suggesting an open field or coastal terrain softened by mist. The forms are intentionally understated, allowing mood and atmosphere to take precedence over literal detail.

    Painterly and expressive in style, the work leans toward modernist abstraction while still conveying a sense of place. The artist uses minimal definition, instead relying on tonal shifts and layered colour to evoke depth and quiet movement. The result is a calm, contemplative image imbued with a quintessential mid-century sensibility.

    The palette is beautifully muted, composed of warm yellows, earthy browns, and deep moss greens that gradually transition into soft blue-greens, misty greys, and a luminous off-white sky. These colours blend seamlessly, creating the impression of early morning light or distant haze dissolving into the horizon.

    The brushwork is gentle and fluid, with broad, blended strokes that form natural gradients across the landscape. Softer applications near the top of the canvas create a diffused, atmospheric quality, while more textured strokes in the foreground add a grounded sense of terrain. The overall effect is meditative and serene, inviting the viewer into a quiet, expansive space.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. There is a small mark visible in the light section of the sky and some areas of craquelure present, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

The palette is warm and uplifting: vivid red and coral for the blossoms, earthy greens for the foliage, deep browns for the pots, and a soft mixture of creams, yellows, and pale blues in the surrounding interior.

    The artist’s vigorous technique brings a sense of immediacy and movement, allowing the flowers to feel almost alive. Light dances across the textured paint, adding depth and a glowing warmth that enhances the overall charm of the scene.

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

    Violin & Flowers

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and atmospheric mid-century still life depicting a beautifully balanced arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A richly toned violin lies gently across a tabletop, its warm reddish-brown body catching the light with a subtle sheen. Behind it, a patterned ceramic vase holds three full white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals captured with beautifully textured, expressive brushwork. The surrounding interior, rendered in soft muted tones, provides a calm and understated backdrop that allows the objects to take centre stage.

    The painting is executed in a refined realist-impressionist style, marked by a balance of clarity and softness. The earthy greens, warm browns, and creamy whites create a soothing, cohesive palette, while the contrast between the polished surface of the violin and the delicate, layered petals of the chrysanthemums adds visual richness. The brushstrokes shift thoughtfully throughout: crisp and tactile in the flowers, smooth and controlled along the violin, and gently blended in the background – giving the work depth and atmosphere without drawing attention away from the central arrangement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Intersecting Planes

    Intersecting Planes

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and very striking mid-century geometric abstract composition, painted in oil in 1955  by the established Swedish artist Bror Ingemar Fröberg (1921-1999), whose artworks have been represented in the Moderna Museum in Stockholm and the Sörmland Museum.

    The painting is built from a dynamic network of interlocking shapes and angled planes. Triangles, diamonds, and irregular quadrilaterals converge and diverge across the canvas, creating a sense of movement that feels architectural. Though non-representational, the arrangement evokes rhythm, structure, and balance.

    Executed in a geometric abstract style, the work relies on strong linear boundaries and clearly defined colour fields. The composition feels meticulously plotted, yet there is a softness to some of the edges that lends a human, hand-painted warmth. The overlapping forms create layers of depth and subtle spatial tension, typical of mid-century abstraction.

    The colour palette is earthy and muted, and these grounded tones harmonise beautifully together. The balance of darker masses against lighter areas adds contrast and energy.

    The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with solid blocks of colour applied in smooth, even strokes. Slight variations in texture and faint visible brush trails keep the surface engaging

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some light surface marks but overall, the surface still presents well, and these characteristics do not detract from the artwork’s visual impact.

    Size: 64 x 91.5 cm (including frame)

  • Lily of the Valley with Pears

    Lily of the Valley with Pears

    £905

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    This beautifully composed painting centres around a striking turquoise vase filled with lily-of-the-valley, their delicate white bells rising in elegant contrast against a backdrop of bold modernist colour blocks. Arranged on a vivid red tabletop, four stylised green pears add balance and rhythm.

    The interior behind the arrangement is rendered through geometric planes of earthy brown, charcoal, plum, and cerulean blue, evoking walls, textiles, and an arched doorway while maintaining a flattened, abstract sensibility.

    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 an ornate, richly detailed gilt frame that elevates the work with a sense of classical elegance. The artwork is further enhanced by a deep burgundy velvet mount, which provides a luxurious contrast and subtly intensifies the colours within the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has tiny areas of wear the corners, consistent with age.

  • Still Life with Sardines

    Still Life with Sardines

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century still life painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1961.

    This composition brings together a humble yet vibrant assortment of fresh sardines, prawns, and sliced onions arranged across a softly rumpled cloth. The artist has captured the immediacy of a kitchen table moment: the silvery shimmer of fish, the warm glow of onions, and the deep coral tones of prawns – rendered with expressive confidence.

    The work sits firmly within the mid-century modernist tradition. It blends realism with painterly abstraction, allowing objects to remain recognisable while being interpreted through bold, gestural forms.

    A muted, earthy palette dominates the scene: soft greys, warm taupes, and sandy neutrals form the backdrop. These subtle tones are punctuated by sharper highlights: the metallic blues and whites of the fish, the pale yellows and greens of the onions, and the rich vermillion hues of the prawns. Together, they create a balanced and atmospheric harmony

    Broad, confident strokes shape the background and cloth, giving it a textured, almost sculptural feel. The food items themselves are rendered with more deliberate yet still loose brushwork – quick flicks and decisive marks bring out the glistening skin of the sardines and the curved forms of the prawns. The overall surface has an energetic, spontaneous quality that enhances the painting’s rustic charm and authenticity.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with multiple profiles.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • By the Blue Horizon

    By the Blue Horizon

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene and minimalist mid-century coastal landscape capturing the stillness of a solitary figure by the sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is anchored by vast horizontal bands of sand, sea, and sky – the painter reducing the scene to its essential forms and tonal contrasts. A woman in a red sunhat and blue swimsuit sits under a teal umbrella, her figure small against the expansiveness of the beach and ocean, evoking both solitude and quiet contemplation.

    Rendered in a simplified modernist style, the artist has employed broad, smooth brushstrokes and a restrained palette – warm beige and brown tones for the sand, deep cobalt for the sea, and a luminous cerulean for the sky. The brushwork softens toward the horizon, creating a gentle gradient that enhances the feeling of distance and calm.

    The painting’s simplicity and geometric balance are characteristic of mid-century coastal modernism, where atmosphere and mood take precedence over detail.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a well-suited wood frame with a linen-lined border the complements the painting’s coastal tones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Maternal Love

    Maternal Love

    Sold

    SOLD

    An outstanding mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto board by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The composition depicts a female figure, presumably a mother, tenderly holding her child. Rendered in bold, abstracted forms, the artist has distilled the essence of human connection into simplified, interlocking shapes and planes of colour. The absence of defined facial features allows emotion to arise from posture, proportion, and palette rather than expression, giving the scene both universality and intimacy.

    Executed in a modernist idiom influenced by abstraction, the work blends figurative sensitivity with geometric reduction. The artist has employed thick, confident brushstrokes and layered impasto to create texture and rhythm across the surface. Areas of colour overlap subtly, suggesting depth and volume while maintaining a flattened, almost collage-like arrangement.

    A harmonious palette of teal, browns, forest green, ivory, deep burgundy, and blue anchors the composition. The dark halo of the mother’s hair contrasts with the child’s pale, luminous tones, drawing the viewer’s focus to their gentle bond. The background of layered turquoise blues adds calm and balance to the composition, enhancing its contemplative quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and areas of paint loss as shown.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene and contemplative modernist style painting that captures the tranquil beauty of a lake as seen through an open window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1988.

    The composition draws the viewer’s gaze outward – from the soft shadows of the window frame to the vivid expanse of blue water and rolling green hills beyond.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist has simplified the forms into broad, confident planes of colour, creating a rhythmic interplay between interior and exterior light. The palette is dominated by cool tones of azure, teal, and pale green, balanced by creamy whites and muted beiges that evoke the warmth of sunlit stone.

    The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, laid down in short, directional strokes that convey texture and the quiet movement of light and air. This technique lends the work both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary light wooden frame with a soft, natural finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Geometry in Grey

    Geometry in Grey

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mesmerising mid-century geometric abstract painting composed of layered angular forms that appear to float and overlap within a carefully balanced composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artist explores spatial tension through a series of intersecting planes – rectangles, trapezoids, and irregular polygons – that shift in opacity and tone, creating a rhythmic sense of movement and depth.

    Rendered in a restrained monochromatic palette of cool greys, whites, and deep charcoal, the work exudes a quiet architectural precision. The translucent layering of shapes introduces a sense of transparency and lightness, while the hard-edged forms retain a strong graphic clarity.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with even application of paint that emphasises the structural purity of the design rather than gestural expression. The artist’s refined control of tone and balance reflects the mid-century fascination with form, proportion, and visual harmony.

    This oil on canvas comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It is on stretched canvas so is ready to hang but if you would like us to help you with framing, you can contact us here.

  • Fields in Late Summer

    Fields in Late Summer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene and wonderfully textured modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1972.

    The painting captures the quiet rhythm of open landscape beneath a soft, pale sky. The composition unfolds in broad, horizontal sweeps of cultivated land – patches of green and yellow fields stretch toward the horizon, gently intersected by blue-tinged furrows and tree lines.

    Painted with a confident impasto technique, the artist has applied thick, expressive strokes that build texture and movement across the canvas. Each ridge of paint conveys the tactile feel of the earth and the shifting play of light on uneven terrain. The palette is harmonious and naturalistic: grassy greens, golden yellows, and cool hints of blue balance against a delicate, misty sky.

    The work’s modernist sensibility lies in its simplification of form and emphasis on gesture over detail. Rather than depicting a literal place, it evokes the essence of cultivated fields under summer light: quiet, spacious, and timeless.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight scuffing commensurate with age.

    Letters from the Past

    Sold

    SOLD

    A  poignant mid-century landscape capturing a solitary figure walking beneath a windswept tree, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene is stripped to its essentials: a single bare-limbed tree with sparse autumn leaves and a small red letterbox attached to its trunk, standing against a pale blue sky. Below, an elderly man dressed in a dark green overcoat and cap leans gently on his cane as he walks along a quiet path, evoking a tender sense of solitude and reflection.

    Rendered in a restrained, minimalist style, the artist has employed loose, confident brushstrokes and a limited, harmonious palette of muted blues and earthy browns. The tree’s branches, painted with gestural strokes, convey the movement of a cold breeze, while the man’s stillness contrasts with the rest of the composition’s subtle motion.

    There’s a poetic simplicity to the piece – both melancholic and peaceful.

    Sold

    A lively and expressive mid-century landscape that captures the rhythmic undulation of the countryside, painted in oil onto canvas board.

    The composition presents golden fields that meet a glistening blue river that winds through lush green pastures. Two modest cottages rest on a sunlit slope to the left, their earthy tones anchoring the composition amidst the sweeping expanse of colour.

    Painted in a loose, confident hand, the artist has employed bold brushstrokes and gestural layering to evoke the vitality of nature rather than a literal depiction. The palette is rich yet harmonious: yellows, greens, blues, and touches of pink convey the shifting light of a late afternoon sky.

    The painting balances movement and structure beautifully, with the angular geometry of the hills and houses, while the spontaneous and energetic brushwork lend it a tactile, almost musical energy.

  • Forest Geometry

    Forest Geometry

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist landscape that reimagines a wooded scene through the lens of abstraction and cubism, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a stand of slender trees rising before a distant hillside, their forms fractured into geometric planes and rhythmic verticals. At the composition’s heart, a dark evergreen anchors the scene – its deep green tones contrasting against the softer mosaic of browns, blues, and muted mauves that fill the surrounding terrain.

    Through overlapping geometric forms and layered brushstrokes, the artist has constructed the landscape as an interplay of colour and shape rather than a literal depiction of nature. Earthy greens, browns, and yellows are interwoven with muted mauves, cool blues, and touches of rose and teal, creating a sense of quiet motion and depth.

    The brushwork is assertive, with visible texture lending a tactile quality to the surface. Planes of colour shift and intersect, capturing the essence of light filtering through trees while also flattening and reordering space — a hallmark of Cubist experimentation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scuffs and some areas of paint loss.

    A serene mid-century modernist style landscape capturing the quiet charm of a countryside, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition draws the eye along a soft earthen path leading toward a red wooden cottage nestled among tall, slender trees. In the foreground, a small wooden boat rests on the grassy ground, evoking stillness and rural simplicity.

    Rendered in a modernist, pared-down style, the artist has used flat planes of colour and minimal detailing to suggest light and form rather than delineate them. Pale yellows, warm browns, soft greens, and muted blues create a harmonious palette that beautifully conveys the cool, crisp air of early spring or late autumn.

    The brushstrokes are broad and textured, laid down with deliberate restraint:  giving the scene a tactile, almost blocky rhythm that reflects the influence of Scandinavian modernism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with subtle reddish-brown tone and an inner gilt lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and expressive mid-century still life, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

    The painting depicts a cluster of slender and elegant branches with fresh green leaves arranged in a patterned blue vase, placed against a softly muted background. The composition is both simple and dynamic: balanced by a small yellow form in the lower right, perhaps a lemon, which introduces a bold contrast of colour and geometry.

    Rendered in thick, confident brushstrokes, the artist’s impasto technique gives the surface a rich texture, while the interplay between earthy browns, cool blues, and mossy greens evokes an organic harmony. The background, layered in sage, light yellow and beige tones, creates a sense of depth without overt detail, allowing the arrangement to stand as a sculptural focal point.

    The overall style reflects the sensibilities of mid-century modernism: abstracted yet rooted in observation – where everyday objects are distilled to their essence through shape, tone, and texture.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones and an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil mid-century townscape that captures a quiet hillside settlement basking in the stillness of the afternoon sun,  by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The composition is defined by a rhythmic arrangement of geometric buildings, their flat roofs and muted facades rendered in blocks of brown, sienna, and cream. Behind them, deep green hills rise gently against a cool light turquoise sky, grounding the otherwise minimal architectural forms in a serene landscape.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and thickly applied oil paint to reduce the scene to its essential planes of colour and light. Shadows are simplified into dark, earthy tones, while sunlit walls glow with pale yellows and greens. The absence of figures and fine detail lends the painting a contemplative, timeless quality: an exploration of harmony between manmade structure and the natural world.

    The colour palette is warm yet subdued. The brushwork is deliberate and textural, creating a tactile surface that enhances the architectural solidity of the forms while preserving a painterly spontaneity. The restrained use of perspective and tone evokes the balanced calm characteristic of mid-century European modernist painting.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a inner gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows minor signs of age wear though these do not detract from its overall presentation.

    A dark brown earthenware jug, a rectangular glass bottle, and a single lemon rest on a ledge before a softly illuminated wall. The artist has used the interplay of light and shadow to create a sense of architectural stillness and geometric harmony.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the composition balances simplicity and structure. The jug’s bold, rounded form contrasts with the angular silhouette of the bottle behind it, while the lemon introduces a small but vivid burst of colour and organic softness.

    Muted tones of brown, grey, cream, and pale yellow dominate the palette, creating a subdued atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate yet textured: visible strokes define planes of light and shade, giving the objects a sculptural quality.

    A lone figure, dressed in pale tones, walks along a soft earthen path leading past whitewashed houses and verdant trees. The warm, golden orb of the moon sun hovers low in the sky, diffusing a gentle glow across the tranquil landscape.

    Executed in a restrained yet expressive modernist style, the painting features simplified geometric forms and broad, confident brushstrokes that evoke mood over detail. The palette is harmonious and understated: soft mauves, sage greens, muted browns, and twilight blues – conjuring the serenity of evening light settling over the countryside.

    The artist’s brushwork is smooth yet deliberate, with layered strokes that suggest texture and depth while maintaining a sense of calm minimalism. There’s a quiet intimacy to the composition: a tender moment of stillness suspended between day and night.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with a broad inner linen border.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively and playful abstracted mid-century still life that transforms everyday objects into rhythmic shapes and patterns, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    At the heart of the composition appears a wide-brimmed box beside a compact dish, set against a fragmented tabletop filled with textiles and geometric designs. The artist plays with perspective, flattening and tilting planes to create a patchwork of dynamic, interlocking forms that pulse with colour and texture.

    The painting exemplifies the modernist fascination with form and balance: where representation gives way to feeling. Its visual language recalls both cubist structure and the spontaneity of mid-century Scandinavian abstraction, with domestic motifs rendered through bold simplification.

    A harmonious palette of yellows, teal, olive green, dusty pink, and cream is punctuated by rhythmic strokes of red and blue. The brushwork is confident yet playful: thick, directional strokes build texture and depth, while smoother planes of pastel create moments of calm. The artist’s handling of paint is distinctly expressive, leaving visible brush trails that add vibrancy and movement across the canvas.

    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.

    £605

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and brilliantly executed mid-century still life rendered in a bold, semi-abstract style, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts a fish laid across a platter beside a lemon, glass, and bowl: objects arranged within a geometrically fragmented space. The artist has simplified form into planes of colour and texture, transforming everyday objects into rhythmic patterns of line and contrast.

    The palette combines muted greys, whites, and earthy browns punctuated by deep blues, black, and sharp accents of red and green. The juxtaposition of the lemon’s acid hue and the fish’s reddish tones creates a visual tension that energises the otherwise subdued background.

    The brushwork is layered yet controlled, with areas of smooth paint application set against textured, block-like sections. The interplay of flatness and depth, together with the abstracted cubist influences, lends the work a distinctly modern sensibility: a refined balance between structure and spontaneity that captures the quiet drama of the still life genre.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame with an inner white border. There is some scattered craquelure and paint loss on the glass cup but this does not detract from the overall appearance and the painting is otherwise in good condition overall.

    £475

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene mid-century figurative seascape that captures a tranquil moment between two fishermen, each absorbed in the gentle rhythm of the water, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    One figure sits hunched in a brown rowboat, lost in quiet concentration, while the other stands poised in a teal-hued vessel nearby. The composition conveys stillness and introspection: a wordless companionship bound by the shared ritual of fishing.

    Rendered with soft, fluid brushstrokes, the artist has evoked a hazy, atmospheric calm, where mist and water seem to merge. Muted tones of beige, umber, and sea-grey create a sense of morning light filtered through fog, with subtle highlights suggesting the sun’s pale glow above. The brushwork is confident yet soft, with details intentionally abstracted to focus on form and feeling rather than realism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an off-white wood frame with an inner linen border that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Distance Between Us

    The Distance Between Us

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a solitary figure standing before a vast expanse of open land, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    The composition is strikingly divided into two registers: the upper portion capturing a serene vista of green fields and a distant tree line beneath a pale, open sky, and the lower section marked by a bold geometric band in black with red and orange vertical stripes.

    Rendered in restrained tones of green and earthy brown, the work balances natural quietude with structural rhythm. The figure, outlined with simplicity and minimal detail and lightly sketched features, appears introspective, heightening the emotional resonance of the scene.

    Executed with flat planes of colour, the brushstrokes are gentle yet deliberate, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a silver frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays some signs of age with marks and scuffs.

  • Vikings

    Vikings

    £80

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This 1972 textile artwork is a bold and richly stylised handwoven tapestry depicting a Viking ship — a motif that beautifully blends Scandinavian heritage with the modernist textile aesthetic of the 1970s.

    The central form of the ship is simplified into sweeping, geometric curves: a strong, arching hull rendered in earthy greens and blues, with a rhythmic row of circular shields in warm ochres, oranges, and reds adorning its side. Upright black forms rise from the ship, evoking both oars and masts, giving the piece a sense of vertical balance and quiet power.

    Above, a stylised sail unfurls, composed of vivid stripes in red, orange, and gold against a cream field, framed by a band of deep blue that mirrors the sea below. The interplay of bold primary and secondary tones — red, blue, yellow, and green — is masterfully balanced, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

    The piece is mounted on a neutral linen backing, which enhances its sculptural quality and allows the saturated colours to stand out with clarity.

    This tapestry captures both motion and monumentality: it feels ancient and modern at once, echoing the spirit of Nordic mythology and craftsmanship while embracing the clean abstraction and rhythmic design sensibilities of 1970s Scandinavian art.

    A striking tribute to cultural identity and artistry — strong, symbolic, and beautifully woven.

    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.

    £50

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This 1970s textile artwork is a captivating handwoven tapestry that merges myth, fantasy, and modern abstraction into a richly coloured composition typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

    At its centre stands a regal female figure — possibly a queen or an ethereal spirit — distinguished by her long flowing blue gown, slender form, and small golden crown. Her dark hair and serene, pale face draw the eye immediately, creating a striking focal point amidst the surrounding geometry of colour. She appears to stand on a circular stage or pedestal, her form tapering elegantly as it rises, evoking both poise and stillness.

    Above her, a luminous sphere — perhaps a moon or an orb of light — glows softly, while behind her, a tapestry of vertical colour blocks in purples, blues, and greens forms an abstract forest or curtain-like backdrop. The angular, overlapping shapes lend the piece a rhythmic sense of movement and depth, as if the scene is unfolding in a dreamlike theatre.

    The palette — a harmony of cool blues, violets, teals, and greens — creates a mystical, nocturnal atmosphere, enhanced by the softness of the woven texture. Mounted on a light linen backing, the work feels both structured and ethereal.

    This tapestry beautifully embodies the 1970s Nordic modernist aesthetic — combining storytelling and symbolism with bold design and craftsmanship. The result is an enchanting, almost fairy-tale-like image that feels timeless, mysterious, and quietly majestic.

    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.

    £65

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This 1971 textile artwork is a beautifully understated handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet elegance of nature through a refined modernist lens.

    The composition centres on an arching branch adorned with elongated leaves in a radiant autumnal palette—burnt orange, rust, amber, and ochre—balanced by softer greens, olives, and hints of yellow. The branch stretches diagonally across the weave, creating a gentle sense of movement and rhythm, as if caught mid-fall in a soft breeze.

    The background is a textured grey wool, its natural tones lending warmth and subtle depth that allow the vivid leaves to stand out in rich contrast. The tactile weave enhances the sense of organic softness, inviting both visual and physical appreciation. Mounted neatly on a neutral linen backing, the piece has a restrained, naturalistic harmony.

    Though simple in subject, the artwork demonstrates a sophisticated command of colour and form. The stylised leaves and rhythmic composition reflect a distinctly Scandinavian modern aesthetic—one that celebrates craftsmanship, seasonal change, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.

    It’s a serene and timeless 1970s textile piece—calm, contemplative, and beautifully evocative of autumn’s fleeting beauty.

    This 1976 textile artwork is a warm, handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet beauty of nature through a distinctly 1970s Scandinavian modernist sensibility.

    Depicting a cluster of stylised yellow and ochre blossoms, the piece radiates a gentle autumnal glow. The flowers — rendered in tonal variations of golden yellow, mustard, and amber — are scattered rhythmically across a richly textured brown background. Subtle greens emerge from below, suggesting stems and foliage, grounding the composition with natural balance.

    The artist’s approach is both abstract and organic: the blooms are simplified to essential rounded forms, their soft edges blending harmoniously into the earthy backdrop. The interplay between light and dark tones gives the flowers a quiet luminescence, as though illuminated by late afternoon sunlight.

    Mounted neatly on a neutral linen border, the tapestry exudes an understated elegance. Its palette of browns, yellows, and greens evokes a deep connection to the natural world — a hallmark of Scandinavian textile art from the era, where craftsmanship and nature coexisted seamlessly.

    Peaceful and contemplative, this 1976 work feels like a woven ode to the changing seasons — warm, tactile, and full of quiet life.

  • The Union

    The Union

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 1970s textile artwork is a charming and whimsical handwoven tapestry depicting a newlywed couple beneath a bright sun — a joyful celebration of love rendered in the folk-modern style so characteristic of Scandinavian textile art of the period.

    At the centre stands the bride and groom, simply but expressively portrayed: the bride in a long white gown and veil, holding a bouquet of pink flowers, and the groom in a black suit and top hat. Their figures are stylised and symmetrical, framed by two tall blue flowers that echo traditional wedding motifs of purity and growth.

    The background is a deep midnight blue or black, which makes the bright colours — yellows, greens, pinks, and blues — radiate with warmth and optimism. Above, a golden sun with radiating beams shines down on the pair, while beneath them a field of cheerful yellow daisies anchors the scene in a meadow-like setting.

    Mounted on a neutral linen backing, the piece has a rustic yet refined presence. The handwoven texture and slightly naive proportions lend it a tender, storybook quality — a perfect blend of folk tradition and 1970s artistic playfulness.

    It’s a heartfelt, symbolic work that captures not just a moment but a feeling — one of innocence, warmth, and enduring joy — lovingly woven into fabric.

    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.

    £45

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This 1970s textile artwork is a beautifully handwoven tapestry depicting a stylised still life of flowers in a jug — a subject deeply rooted in Scandinavian folk and modernist traditions, interpreted here with bold simplicity and a painterly sense of form.

    A light blue jug with sweeping, fluid curves anchors the composition, its elongated handle and spout rendered with sculptural elegance. From it rises a lively arrangement of green leaves and yellow buds, their shapes softly abstracted and harmoniously layered. The artist’s use of tonal greens — from olive to mint — against touches of ochre and white creates a balanced rhythm of light and movement.

    The background is a deep, velvety navy that enhances the vibrancy of the floral forms, bordered by a rich teal frame that adds structure while maintaining a sense of softness. The initials “LW” woven subtly into the lower left corner suggest the maker’s personal touch, adding to the tapestry’s charm and individuality.

    Executed with refined craftsmanship and a keen eye for colour harmony, this piece exemplifies 1970s Scandinavian textile art — where natural motifs, handwoven tactility, and modern abstraction coexist beautifully.

    Elegant yet homely, it captures the quiet poetry of everyday life — turning a simple vase of flowers into a timeless composition of texture, colour, and warmth.

    This 1970s textile artwork is a delicately handwoven tapestry depicting a bouquet of wildflowers rendered in a charmingly naïve yet expressive style.

    Set against a soft sky-blue background, the composition features a lively arrangement of blooms — bright red, golden yellow, violet, and deep blue — emerging from fine green stems and leaves. The flowers vary in size and orientation, creating a natural sense of movement as though freshly gathered from a meadow. The stems subtly twist and overlap, giving the piece a graceful, organic rhythm.

    The tapestry is bordered by a simple dark brown edge, which frames the scene and contrasts gently with the pale background. Mounted on a neutral linen base, the overall presentation feels both rustic and refined, characteristic of Scandinavian or Northern European textile design from the period.

    The handwoven texture adds a tactile warmth to the piece, with each coloured thread contributing to the impression of a lovingly crafted, one-of-a-kind artwork.

    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.

    This 1970s textile artwork is a charming handwoven tapestry featuring a single red poppy, rendered with the clarity and simplicity characteristic of Scandinavian modern-folk design.

    The elongated vertical format gives the composition an elegant, almost poetic presence. Rising gracefully from the base, a slender green stem branches into an open poppy blossom at the top — its rich red petals softly variegated in tone, with a dark central core lending definition and depth. Beside it, a small, unopened bud bends tenderly, adding a note of natural rhythm and gentle asymmetry.

    The flower stands against a subtly textured neutral background woven in pale greys and off-whites, creating a calm backdrop that enhances the vividness of the red and green. A fine yellow border runs along the edges, giving the tapestry a touch of warmth and framing the design with understated precision.

    This 1970 textile artwork is a playful and colourful handwoven tapestry that encapsulates the cheerful modernism of Scandinavian design from the era.

    At its centre swims a stylised fish, depicted in bold geometric forms and bright hues of orange, yellow, lilac, and coral pink. Its body is segmented with rhythmic stripes, and a round blue eye pops vividly against its pale face. The fish’s form, while simplified, conveys a lively personality — it seems almost animated as it glides across the composition.

    Surrounding it is a softly variegated blue background suggesting water, with hints of movement rendered through gentle tonal shifts. Black, linear motifs rise vertically on either side, resembling underwater plants or reeds, grounding the fish within its aquatic world. Above, a few horizontal yellow dashes evoke the glimmer of sunlight filtering through the surface.

    Mounted neatly on a light linen backing, the piece balances playfulness with craftsmanship. The artist’s use of strong contrast, simplified forms, and tactile weaving brings warmth and charm to a simple subject.

    This tapestry beautifully captures the optimism and stylised naturalism characteristic of early 1970s Nordic textile art — an enchanting fusion of folk whimsy, mid-century abstraction, and childlike joy.

    This 1973 textile artwork is a striking, handwoven wall tapestry that captures the essence of 1970s Scandinavian modernist design — bold, playful, and deeply textural.

    The composition features two stylised birds facing each other in symmetrical balance, their beaks nearly touching as if in conversation or ritual. The birds are rendered in vivid shades of magenta, red, orange, and pink, set against an earthy brown and olive backdrop that enhances the vibrancy of their plumage. Their bodies are richly patterned with repeated eye-like motifs in black and white, adding a rhythmic, almost totemic quality to the piece.

    Floral or feather-like forms rise vertically behind each bird, in flaming tones of violet, orange, and yellow, creating a sense of movement and vitality. The tapestry is bordered by a neutral linen mount that both softens and frames the intense colourwork.

    Executed with a masterful sense of geometry and folk-inspired abstraction, the work feels both decorative and symbolic — celebrating nature, symmetry, and craftsmanship. The combination of strong contrasting hues, simplified forms, and tactile woven texture make this a quintessential example of early 1970s Nordic textile art, exuding warmth, character, and playful sophistication.

    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.

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This 1972 textile artwork is a charming and vibrant handwoven tapestry that captures a stylised pastoral scene with a distinctly mid-century folk-art feel.

    At the forefront, a small group of white geese with orange beaks and feet stand together on patterned ground rendered in blocks of green, orange, grey, and ochre. Behind them, a traditional half-timbered thatched cottage is depicted in a highly geometric and simplified way—its yellow roof and blue-paned windows contrasting sharply against a bright cobalt-blue sky filled with rhythmic vertical strokes.

    The composition is bordered by a narrow red frame and set against a neutral linen backing, giving it a crisp and contained presentation. The overall design is bold yet playful, with an emphasis on pattern, symmetry, and texture rather than realism.

    Typical of the 1970s Scandinavian and Northern European textile aesthetic, this piece blends warmth and modernity—balancing homely rural imagery with strong graphic abstraction. The craftsmanship, use of colour blocking, and tactile quality of the woven surface all contribute to its charmingly naive yet sophisticated appeal.

    £70

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This 1976 textile artwork is a beautifully expressive handwoven tapestry that captures the spirit of Scandinavian modernist design with a touch of whimsy and surrealism.

    At the centre stands a stylised tree with branching limbs rendered in deep shades of indigo, teal, and plum. Instead of natural foliage, the branches bear striking, eye-like fruit in vivid oranges, pinks, reds, and purples — each orb outlined with black and white stripes or concentric shapes, giving them an almost mystical or watchful quality. Beneath, smaller tulip-like forms in turquoise, violet, and magenta rise like decorative ground flora, adding a rhythmic base to the composition.

    The backdrop is composed of vertical bands of blue — from light azure to midnight — creating a sense of depth and twilight atmosphere. The entire woven section is bordered by a neutral linen mount, giving it a clean, contemporary presentation that contrasts beautifully with the saturated hues.

    The piece exudes both harmony and imagination: its bold abstraction and graphic patterning are softened by the tactile warmth of wool. The artist transforms a simple motif — a tree — into something symbolic and joyous, evoking themes of growth, mystery, and interconnectedness.

    It’s a quintessential example of 1970s Scandinavian textile art — modernist yet folk-inspired, decorative yet poetic, bursting with colour and life.

  • Narcissus (2 of 2)

    Narcissus (2 of 2)

    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 blossoms, likely stylised irises or 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.

  • Cuckoo

    Cuckoo

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 1970s textile artwork is a delightful needlepoint tapestry that captures a woodpecker perched on a tree branch — a charming blend of folk artistry and mid-century design sensibility.

    The bird, rendered in rich shades of green, olive, and yellow with a striking red crown, stands out vividly against a softly textured beige background. Its form is geometric yet recognisable, stylised with bold patches of colour and simplified contours that give it both warmth and graphic clarity. The brown tree branch and delicate green leaves anchor the composition, creating a natural harmony of tones.

    Framing the scene is a decorative border composed of repeating circular motifs in white, olive, mustard, and brown — a distinctly 1970s pattern that gives the piece a rhythmic, almost quilt-like structure. The tapestry is suspended from a brass or gold-toned metal hanger, enhancing its nostalgic charm and evoking the era’s handcrafted home décor aesthetic.

  • Needlepoint Blue Tit

    Needlepoint Blue Tit

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 1970s textile artwork is a charming hand-stitched tapestry that captures a blue tit perched delicately on a branch — a delightful expression of nature interpreted through the warmth of mid-century Scandinavian craft design.

    The small bird, rendered in vibrant tones of blue, yellow, and olive green, is beautifully stylised yet instantly recognisable. Its body perches gracefully on a brown branch adorned with red berries, offering a joyful pop of colour against the soft, neutral background of interwoven cream and beige threads.

    Framing the scene is a decorative border made up of repeating geometric floral motifs in soft yellow, olive green, and brown. This rhythmic edging lends the piece a distinctly 1970s folk-art character, balancing homeliness with graphic precision. The tapestry hangs from a brass-toned metal hanger, enhancing its nostalgic and handcrafted charm.

    Every stitch reflects care and craftsmanship — a testament to the era’s appreciation for slow, tactile art forms that brought warmth into the home.

    This piece embodies the heart of 1970s Nordic textile art: nature-inspired, decorative, and full of quiet joy — a lovingly woven glimpse of everyday beauty.

  • Woman in a Pink Blouse

    Woman in a Pink Blouse

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a seated woman before a softly rendered natural backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    Her dark bob frames her lightly sketched expression, lending the composition an air of introspection and quiet distance. The figure’s mauve-pink blouse, trimmed with ruffled lace, contrasts subtly with the muted greens and browns of the forested landscape behind her.

    The artist has used a delicate balance between precision and restraint: the background is softly diffused with translucent washes, while the figure’s form is more sharply delineated. The lower section of the painting introduces a striking geometric interruption: a striped band in cream, burgundy, and brown – that recalls textile or interior motifs, grounding the work in a unique aesthetic.

    Brushstrokes are measured and matte, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a silver frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays some signs of age wear with marks and scuffs, as shown in the photos.

     

    Size: 66.5 x 80.5 cm (including frame)

  • Constructed Still Life

    Constructed Still Life

    £945

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century still life rendered through bold geometry and a masterful play of colour planes, executed in oil onto canvas.

    On a faceted tabletop sit a tall red jug, a teal bottle, and two fruits: one rosy red, the other golden yellow – arranged in balanced asymmetry. The artist has abstracted the everyday into angular forms, each shape carved by light and shadow into sculptural precision.

    Executed in a Cubist-inspired style, the composition uses intersecting planes and overlapping hues to suggest depth and rhythm. Deep blues and purples form the backdrop, while cool aquas, brick reds, and lemon yellows provide sharp, luminous contrast. The brushwork is confident and flat, with clean edges and opaque layers that emphasise structure over texture, giving the work a strong architectural presence.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a linen-lined inner border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks, but this does not detract from its overall presentation.

    Sunlight & Table

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle and poetic mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet radiance, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene centres on a teal table, upon which rests a small earthen pot of pink flowers, bathed in a cascade of soft morning light filtering through tall windows. The painter transforms a humble domestic corner into a study of atmosphere: where form dissolves into light and shadow.

    Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the artist has used delicate, feathery brushstrokes and thin layers of paint to build an airy, almost translucent composition. Muted mauves, lilacs, pale yellows, and soft greys create a dreamlike haze, while the turquoise of the table provides a striking counterpoint of solidity within the diffused glow. The brushwork is confident yet restrained – the marks suggesting more than defining, allowing the viewer’s imagination to fill in the forms.

    The overall effect is one of serenity and light: a meditation on stillness and the subtle poetry of the everyday interior.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a rich and warm oak tone, and with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

  • Difficult Tableau

    Difficult Tableau

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

    This painting showcases Durling’s distinctive abstract vocabulary—tactile, spatially quiet, and emotionally charged through texture and colour. It feels like a visual diary entry composed of silences punctuated by vivid moments.

    Durling introduces small blocks of intense, saturated colours including jet black, fiery orange, acidic yellow, and forest green, scattered throughout the pale background like thoughts breaking through quietude. Thick, painterly textures dominate the surface. The paint is almost sculpted, making the canvas a physical object as much as a visual one. This adds emotional depth—you sense that each mark carries intention and presence.

    This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame again complements the painting beautifully—earthy and solid, grounding the delicate and expressive content within.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

    Things Far and Near

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

    This painting showcases Durling’s hallmark abstract language—minimal yet emotionally charged, textured yet airy. It’s a small piece that feels quiet but confident, introspective and balanced, like a private rhythm unfolding in colour and texture.

    As with much of Durling’s work, the surface is highly textured, with thick layers of paint that create a tactile, almost geological quality. The canvas feels worked, scraped, and layered, like time embedded in paint.

    The background is dominated by a soft minty green and pale pink base, giving the work a calm and gentle tone. Accents of bold black, vibrant orange-red, buttery yellow, and bright white interrupt the softness in bursts.

    Despite its abstraction, this piece feels personal and evocative. There’s a delicate tension between order and spontaneity, between soft space and strong marks.

    This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame is a perfect match for this kind of subtle abstraction. It provides a visual anchor without stealing any attention, and its rustic quality echoes the organic textures in the painting itself.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Angel Marshes

    Angel Marshes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

    This painting  showcases Durling’s signature abstract style—textured, atmospheric, and intuitively composed. It feels like a landscape in dream fragments, full of soft mystery and emotional undercurrents.

    Thick, expressive brushstrokes dominate the surface. The impasto technique (built-up paint) adds a tactile richness, inviting you not just to see the painting, but to almost feel it.

    Muted creams, cool greys, and powdery blues provide a soft base, broken by bold accents—a vivid orange shape, a lemon yellow, and patches of deep forest green. These pops of color create visual rhythm, like beats in a calm but layered melody.

    This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame adds earthiness and grounding to the otherwise ethereal composition. It contrasts beautifully with the soft light tones, allowing the painting’s subtle dynamism to stand out.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Still Life with Cat Figurine

    Still Life with Cat Figurine

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century modernist style interior still life painting rendered in soft, abstracted geometry,  and executed in oil onto board.

    The composition features a tabletop arrangement with a flower in a vase, a covered bowl, a few bottles, and a pale blue cat figurine that adds a whimsical note to the scene. The artist has captured a quiet moment of domestic life through simplification and balance – transforming everyday objects into forms of colour and shape.

    The palette is harmonious and cool-toned, dominated by shades of blue, teal, and brown, offset by the warmth of brown and a single crimson bloom. These muted yet carefully balanced hues create a sense of a calm interior.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist idiom, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and flattened planes, giving the work tonal depth. The brushwork is visible and deliberate, lending vibrancy to the otherwise tranquil composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful frame with a linen mount and a wooden outer border in brown and gold tones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • 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.

    A quiet and contemplative still life that depicts a simple tabletop arrangement of three green pears and a small blue-grey cup, set against a softly textured background, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2008.

    The composition is minimalist, yet imbued with a gentle rhythm and balance: the curved organic forms of the pears play harmoniously against the cylindrical solidity of the vessel.

    Rendered in a modern impressionist style, the artist employs loose, visible brushstrokes and layered applications of paint, creating a tactile surface that evokes both depth and light. The palette is composed of delicate shades of green, lemon, sky blue, and muted grey, conveying a serene and contemplative mood. The soft blending and impasto technique suggest a sensitivity to form and colour rather than strict realism, giving the work a quiet poetic presence.

    A lively and expressive mid-century still life that captures a vibrant table scene where fruit, bottles, and books converge in a symphony of colour and texture, executed in oil onto board.

    A blue tablecloth stretches across the foreground, holding a scattering of apples, oranges, and a lemon alongside two dark bottles and a pair of books rendered in bold red and black. The scene glows against a luminous yellow backdrop, infusing the composition with a sense of warmth and vitality.

    The artist’s palette is bold and confident: sunny yellows, blues, deep blacks, and accents of warm orange and crimson create a dynamic interplay that brings life to the static composition. The brushwork is expressive and heavily impastoed, with thick, deliberate strokes that lend a tactile energy to the painting. The use of contrasting colours and broad application of paint give the piece a sense of rhythm and immediacy characteristic of mid-century modernist expression.

    The painting balances structure and spontaneity beautifully – each object is simplified yet full of presence, and the scene hums with quiet intensity. A wonderful example of post-war European still-life painting, celebrating the everyday through bold colour and painterly confidence.

    Harbour & Hillside

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century coastal landscape that captures the rhythmic order of a harbour scene rendered through a distinctly modernist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    Clusters of geometric buildings and cranes line the waterfront, their angular forms carefully arranged to evoke both structure and serenity. The distant hills rise gently across the water, balancing the composition with soft undulating lines against the rigid shapes of the port.

    The artist has used a palette of muted yet harmonious tones – brick red, sage green, browns, blush, and blue – creating a subdued but richly layered harmony of colour. Each hue appears thoughtfully modulated, suggesting light glancing off the industrial surfaces and calm waters below.

    The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with flat, interlocking planes that give the painting an almost architectural rhythm. Despite the simplified forms, there is a deep sense of atmosphere and quietude, as though the bustling port has been momentarily stilled in contemplation.

    This oil on canvas is beautifully presented in a linen-lined wooden frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some marks as well as some age spots to the linen section, consistent with age.

    The artist captures a fleeting, luminous moment with sunlight filtering through leaves and petals, transforming the everyday sight of blooming daylilies into something almost transcendent. There’s a sense of calm vitality here: the blooms, rendered in warm tones of orange and gold with touches of coral and crimson, rise dynamically from the cool greens of their leaves, their upward gesture bringing movement and energy to the composition.

    The Meeting

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and evocative mid-century figurative composition that depicts a group of seated figures gathered around a long white table, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figures’ forms have been rendered in simplified, almost sculptural blocks of colour. The figures, distinguished by subtle variations in hair colour, posture, and attire are shown in quiet communion, while a standing figure at the head of the table adds a sense of hierarchy or occasion.

    The artist has adopted a distinctly modernist approach: the scene is pared back to its essential geometry, the narrative implied rather than explicit. The palette is warm yet restrained, with browns, blacks, and muted greens dominating against a rich golden background that imbues the work with both warmth and gravitas. The surface bears visible, expressive brushstrokes, creating a tactile sense of movement and texture.

    The overall effect is one of quiet introspection: a timeless study of human gathering, presence, and form.

    Blush Horizon (Set of 2)

    £515

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An elegant pair of minimalist landscapes, dated 1985, that captures the serene beauty of open land under a soft rose-tinted sky, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The two compositions are designed to complement each other: one showing a gentle line of birch trees standing in rhythmic formation, the other depicting a quiet rise with a few slender trunks and a simple wire fence stretching across the horizon.

    The artist has used a restrained modernist palette of blush pink, misty grey, and muted greens, allowing atmosphere and tone to take centre stage. The brushwork is delicate and deliberate – light dabs and soft stippling define the foliage, while smooth gradients create a sense of still air and fading distance.

    Together, the pair evokes a dreamlike calm: a moment of dusk or dawn frozen in time, and would bring a refined sense of balance and tranquillity to any space.

    These oil on canvases are housed in complementary silver and black frames. There are some light marks near the tops and bottoms of each work, consistent with age and display. The frames have some light wear and scuffing, though this does little to detract from the overall elegance of the pair.

  • Golden Tree

    Golden Tree

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and very pleasant modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

    A single tree, glowing in golden orange, stands proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of whitewashed houses with deep blue roofs and soft foliage. The simplified geometry of the composition lends the scene a calm structure, while the thick impasto and visible brushstrokes add energy and texture to the surface.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy greens, warm yellows, and muted greys that evokes a sense of stillness, balancing abstraction with familiarity. The forms are distilled to their essence – the foliage reduced to layered shapes, the tree rendered as a luminous form pulsing with autumnal warmth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs. Please note there is some glare in the photographs.

  • Quiet Pasture

    Quiet Pasture

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tranquil and refined mid-century modernist abstract landscape painted in oil onto canvas.

    This painting distils a pastoral scene into its most essential forms – three geometric sheep resting within an expanse of green, beneath a horizon softened by the meeting of land, sea, and sky. Two abstracted tree forms rise in the distance, their masses built from diffused tones of moss, teal, and yellow.

    The artist employs a restrained and harmonious palette — muted greens merging into turquoise blues – evoking both serenity and space. Broad, matte brushstrokes and delicate transitions of tone give the surface a meditative quietness, while subtle traces of underpainting and warm orange edges reveal the artist’s hand and the passage of time.

    Balancing figuration and abstraction, the work speaks to the essence of landscape – not as a literal depiction, but as an emotional and atmospheric impression of stillness, solitude, and the beauty of open space.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary grey wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition

  • The Resting Muse

    The Resting Muse

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist figurative painting that presents a stylised nude form rendered in soft, interlocking shapes, executed onto canvas by Swedish painter Bengt Lundin (1924-2005) whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, as well as Modern Art Museum in Sweden.

    The figure reclines in an abstracted interior space, her body defined by bold blocks of colour rather than distinct outlines. The composition is reduced to essential forms, yet the posture conveys a quiet sensuality and repose.

    The artist has used a palette of muted browns, taupe, and creams, contrasted with deep blue and olive-green accents that evoke both depth and intimacy. The patterned background, suggestive of foliage or textile design, enhances the rhythmic harmony of the piece.

    The brushstrokes are confident and broad, with areas of visible texture and raw canvas left exposed, lending an immediacy and honesty to the work. Each shape feels intentionally placed, balancing figuration and abstraction.

    A celebration of form and tone, this painting captures the essence of modernist restraint – expressive, structured, and deeply human.

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

  • Summer Reading

    Summer Reading

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene mid-century scene depicting two women seated beneath dappled trees on a sunlit lawn, absorbed in quiet leisure, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figures They sit on mint-green folding chairs, one reading while the other holds a small object in her hands – perhaps a flower or letter – suggesting a gentle intimacy and stillness in the moment. Beyond them, pastel-hued cottages with pitched roofs and sunlit façades peek through the trees, evoking the charm of a summer afternoon in a peaceful village garden.

    The colour palette is rich – cool sage, olive, and moss greens intersect with muted stone greys and soft sky blues, creating a harmonious balance between earth and air. The sky is painted in a smooth gradient of pale blue, acting as a calm contrast to the dynamic, textured land below. Each stroke is deliberate and expressive, laid down with visible directionality, giving the impression of wind pushing across the hillsides.

    Executed in a modernist-impressionist manner characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian painting, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and a light, airy palette. The treatment of form is simplified yet expressive, focusing on the harmony of colour and light rather than detail.

    The composition is suffused with soft greens, pale blues, buttery yellows, and lavender shadows, creating a tranquil, sun-dappled atmosphere. The brushwork is loose and painterly, with visible strokes that suggest movement in the leaves and shimmering sunlight across the grass.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Fields of Stillness (Set of 2)

    Sold

    SOLD

    An elegant pair of mid-century landscapes that capture the quiet poetry of rural life through a minimalist modernist lens, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    Both works feature sweeping compositions that draw the viewer into open countryside scenes  – one depicting a farmhouse on a distant ridge under a wide, tranquil sky, and the other showing a meandering country road curving gently toward thatched cottages.

    The artist’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by bold, simplified forms and strong, rhythmic geometry within the land contours. The palette is a refined harmony of sage greens, browns, and teal-blue skies – colours that evoke both calm and structure. Thick, expressive brushstrokes convey texture and light with confident economy, allowing the paint itself to suggest the terrain’s movement and atmosphere.

    Together, the pair exudes balance and quiet strength – timeless mid-century pieces that celebrate the stillness and spaciousness of the rural landscape while offering a refined decorative harmony.

    These oil on canvases are presented in beautifully complementary mid-century style frames that enhance their serene, modernist quality. One in a soft silvered wood finish, and the other in a champagne-gold undertone finish. Both the paintings and frames are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fragments of a Day

    Fragments of a Day

    £805

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking modernist work that presents a scene fragmented into angular planes and interlocking blocks of colour, evoking figures and structures emerging within an imagined landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

    Though abstracted, one can sense the suggestion of human presence and architectural forms –  perhaps a house, a figure, and surrounding terrain reduced to their essential geometric components.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the composition is built from flat, faceted shapes that tessellate across the canvas, creating a rhythmic mosaic. The artist has employed a harmonious yet lively palette of muted peach, terracotta, sage green, browns, dusty pink, teal, and pale blues. These tones shift softly across the surface, creating subtle contrasts and spatial tension without harsh division.

    The brushstrokes are controlled yet visible, giving texture to each block of colour while maintaining an overall crispness in form. Edges are softly defined, hinting at the hand of the painter beneath the structure of the geometry. The result is a composition that feels both architectural and lyrical – an exploration of form and colour that balances abstraction with a whisper of narrative.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary simple wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition

  • The Parade

    The Parade

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant modernist figurative composition that captures a jubilant procession winding through a lively town scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1969 in reverse.

    A long line of figures, dressed in bright whites with touches of vivid red and orange, marches in rhythmic formation, creating a strong sense of movement and communal festivity. The crowd appears to weave through a landscape dotted with clustered houses and trees, with the architecture rendered in warm ochres and earthy reds against a soft blue-grey sky.

    Painted in an expressive style, the work features thick, energetic brushstrokes that lend a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the surface. The artist applies paint in vigorous swirls and dashes, allowing the colours to intermingle directly on the canvas. Warm golds, muted greens, and slate blues dominate the palette, balanced by flashes of white that illuminate the procession like a ribbon threading through the landscape.

    The overall impression is one of joyful chaos and human togetherness, captured with spontaneity and painterly confidence.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wide profile frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Green Pears on Table

    Green Pears on Table

    £750

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and characterful still life composition executed in tempera on board in 1979, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The painting presents a neat arrangement of five bright green pears – four whole and one sliced open to reveal its pale, almost translucent interior. The fruits are evenly spaced across a deep brown tabletop, their rounded forms casting bold, graphic shadows that anchor them to the surface. Scattered leaves add a touch of organic movement, their linear veins painted in stylised strokes.

    The palette is wonderfully restrained yet vivid: fresh greens for the pears, muted earthy browns in the background, and stark black accents used for shadow and seed detail. The brushwork is clean and deliberate, with flat planes of colour and minimal blending, giving the piece a graphic, almost poster-like quality. Each pear is painted with a confident simplicity, allowing form and silhouette to take precedence over realism.

    This still life celebrates simplicity and bold shape, making it a striking decorative piece with strong visual character.

    This painting on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks and paint loss as shown.

  • Hillside Rhythm

    Hillside Rhythm

    £520

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist landscape composition that captures an undulating terrain rendered in bold, sculptural brushstroke, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene is abstracted into rhythmic forms where rounded hilltops and faceted slopes are expressed through confident sweeps of the brush, giving the land a sense of movement and tactile energy.

    The colour palette is rich – cool sage, olive, and moss greens intersect with muted stone greys and soft sky blues, creating a harmonious balance between earth and air. The sky is painted in a smooth gradient of pale blue, acting as a calm contrast to the dynamic, textured land below. Each stroke is deliberate and expressive, laid down with visible directionality, giving the impression of wind pushing across the hillsides.

    Painted with an almost sculptural quality, the brushwork creates volume and light without relying on fine detail – typical of the mid-century Scandinavian modernist approach, where form and rhythm take precedence over realism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows some age-related marks and has a section missing on the right side.

  • Shared Moments

    Shared Moments

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully atmospheric mid-century modernist oil painting depicting two figures in a quiet interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    One is seated at a table, leaning gently forward, while the other stands nearby, their forms simplified and softened, inviting the viewer into an intimate moment. Light floods in from a large window in the background, casting a pale blue glow that contrasts against the deeper, earthy tones of the room.

    Rendered with expressive brushwork and impasto, the artist has used broad, confident strokes to build form and texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The muted greys, dusky mauves, and slate blues are gently warmed by accents of ochre and terracotta in the standing figure’s clothing, adding a subtle focal point to the composition.

    The scene carries a sense of stillness and familiarity – a fleeting domestic moment captured through abstraction, where emotion is conveyed not through facial detail but through posture, colour harmony, and the soft diffusion of light.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary mid-century style frame with a softly textured, linen lined surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunlit Passageway

    Sunlit Passageway

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet street scene bathed in soft Mediterranean light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A lone figure, dressed in muted tones and carrying a bundle on her head, walks along an empty terracotta-hued pathway that leads into a cluster of geometric buildings. The architecture – flat-roofed houses, arched entrances, and clean-lined terraces—suggests a southern European or North African village, rendered with a sense of calm order and stillness.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of warm browns, sandy beiges, pale blues, and soft whites, punctuated by accents of terracotta red on window shutters and rooftops. Each surface is painted in flat planes of colour, with minimal blending, giving the work a faceted, almost mosaic-like quality. Shadows fall in structured blocks, enhancing the geometry of the scene.

    Brushstrokes are confident and deliberate, favouring smooth, even applications of paint that maintain the clarity of form rather than expressive texture. There is a quiet rhythm to the composition – the repeating rooflines, the verticals of the distant buildings, and the solitary figure grounding the scene with a gentle narrative presence. The overall atmosphere is one of stillness, heat, and understated elegance – an ode to everyday life rendered through a modernist lens.

    This oil on canvas is beautifully presented in a well-suited linen-lined wooden frame. The painting is in good vintage condition overall, with just a tiny area of paint loss on the right-hand side – on the second building in from the right by the windows. This small detail does not detract from the artwork’s overall charm.

    Moonlit Silhouettes

    Available

    SOLD

    An introspective mid-century modernist painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    A serene and poetic scene unfolds beneath a pale blue evening sky, where two simplified figures stand in quiet conversation beside a cluster of whitewashed buildings. Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is reduced to pure geometric forms – the gabled roofs forming clean angular shapes against a flat expanse of blue.

    The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric: powder blue for the sky, soft off-white for the buildings, deep charcoal for the ground and rooftops, and a delicate touch of brighter blue in the garment of the standing figure. A pale circular moon hangs in the sky, adding a gentle sense of stillness and introspection.

    Brushwork is intentionally minimal and smooth, favouring broad, even planes of colour with softened edges that blur very slightly, giving the piece a dreamlike quality. The figures are reduced to silhouettes – faceless, quietly present – allowing the viewer to project their own story into the scene.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame linen lined frame with a silver border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • 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.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an antique finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • 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.

  • Whispering White Walls

    Whispering White Walls

    Sold

    SOLD

    A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    The composition presents a serene cluster of whitewashed buildings, stacked and softened into an abstracted architectural rhythm. The forms are simplified into clean geometric blocks, evoking a quiet hillside village or sun-bleached Mediterranean town. Two slender, almost silhouetted figures stand near the foreground, adding a subtle human presence and a sense of scale without interrupting the overall stillness of the scene.

    The palette is beautifully restrained – cool whites, soft dove greys, and muted sage undertones merge gently into one another, creating a dreamlike haze. The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with broad, flat planes of colour that minimise detail and heighten the modernist feel. Shadows and edges are suggested rather than defined, allowing the forms to appear as if they are dissolving gently into the light.

    The composition, with its quiet tonal variations and refined abstraction, captures an outstanding balance between calm minimalism and poetic atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame with a layered profile consisting of a soft champagne-gold outer moulding, paired with an inner border in silver. The painting remains in lovely vintage condition, with some light areas of craquelure that do not detract from the overall presentation.

  • Garden Gathering

    Garden Gathering

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively mid-century modernist oil painting that presents a group of figures gathered in a semi-abstract outdoor scene, 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 arrangement suggests a social gathering – figures standing and seated together, framed by architecture on one side and lush garden foliage on the other.

    Executed in a modernist style, the piece blends figuration with abstraction. Strongly simplified forms and flattened planes dominate, with outlines and shadow blocks creating sculptural presence. The absence of facial detail recalls both cubist reduction and expressionist distortion, allowing colour and rhythm to take precedence over narrative realism.

    The palette is bold yet harmonious, with deep navy and forest greens offset by vibrant pinks, oranges, and sky blues. Light falls diagonally across the canvas, producing rich contrasts between shadowed areas and illuminated patches. The brushstrokes are broad, gestural, and confident, with layered pigment applied in sweeping movements that build both depth and dynamism.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing.

  • Forest Pathway

    Forest Pathway

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century landscape painting that presents a serene woodland scene, where a narrow path leads the viewer deeper into a forest of tall, slender trees, executed in oil onto board and dated 1944.

    The verticality of the tree trunks dominates the composition, drawing the eye upward while also suggesting stillness and permanence. The perspective of the pathway, receding into the distance, adds a sense of depth and quiet invitation.

    Executed in a semi-abstract, modernist style, the work features bold, block-like brushstrokes that break the forest into planes of colour. The palette is earthy and natural, with muted greens, ochres, browns, and russets interwoven with touches of blue-grey sky peeking through the canopy. The interplay of angular strokes and softened edges creates a rhythmic harmony, typical of mid-century interpretations of nature.

    The brushwork is deliberate yet painterly – broad, layered strokes overlap to form textures of bark, foliage, and dappled light, giving the scene both structure and atmosphere. There is a lyrical quality in the way light and shadow fall across the pathway, suggesting both movement and calm reflection.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a natural woodgrain texture as well as an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Hillside by the Sea

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and pleasant modernist landscape painting that captures a sweeping view of a coastal hillside descending into a tranquil sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1987.

    A cluster of red-roofed houses are nestled amid rich greenery, their geometric forms punctuating the organic curves of the land. The artist has placed emphasis on the play between land and water, with the luminous greens of the sloping bluff set against the expansive calmness of the blue sea.

    The work is painted in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, marked by simplified shapes and strong areas of flat, vibrant colour. The brushstrokes are broad and assured, creating bold patches of green for the trees and fields, with subtle variations to suggest light and texture. The sea is rendered in sweeping strokes of muted blue, providing a serene backdrop that contrasts with the vivid land.

    The palette is dominated by bright greens and earthy browns, harmoniously balanced with cool blues and soft greys in the sky and water.

    The brushstrokes are confident and expressive, applied in thick, visible layers. They build up a rhythmic energy in the greenery while softening into smoother expanses in the sky and sea, striking a balance between vibrancy and calm.

  • Seated Woman with Letter

    Seated Woman with Letter

    Sold

    SOLD

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

    The composition presents a contemplative female figure seated on a simple chair, her body angled gently to the side as she holds a folded piece of paper in her hand. The faceless portrayal lends the work a universal quality, allowing the figure to embody both anonymity and intimacy.

    The style is distinctly modernist and abstracted, with simplified forms, flat planes, and carefully balanced geometric blocks of colour. The composition is built on interlocking shapes, where body, chair, and background meld seamlessly, reinforcing the quiet harmony of the scene.

    The palette is warm and earthy, with shades of terracotta, brown, and sienna set against muted peach, pale creams, and soft blues. Darker tones in the figure’s dress contrast with the lighter background, creating depth while maintaining the painting’s restrained, introspective mood.

    Brushstrokes are broad and deliberate, with smooth transitions that emphasise form rather than detail. The painter resists naturalism, instead favouring abstraction and tonal rhythm to evoke atmosphere and feeling.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a wood frame with a white inner border. The painting has some light marks to its surface but nothing that detracts from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some areas of paint loss as shown, but is otherwise in good stable condition.

  • Nocturne City Lights

    Nocturne City Lights

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking mid-century cityscape that captures the shimmering energy of an urban night scene, translated into a rich tapestry of colour and geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is structured with bold, interlocking blocks and angular shapes, suggesting the rhythm of buildings, windows, bridges, and reflections on water. A procession of glowing yellow-lit windows runs across the centre, evoking a row of houses or perhaps a train, cutting a luminous path through the darkness. Above, sharp angular rooftops and scaffolding-like forms rise into a deep indigo and violet sky, punctuated by hints of streetlamps and architectural details.

    The artist’s palette is rich and vibrant, dominated by jewel tones of cobalt blue, violet, crimson, and emerald green, balanced with the warmth of orange, red, and brown. The glowing yellow windows add a brilliant contrast, animating the scene with a sense of movement and vitality.

    The brushwork is expressive and textured, with bold, layered strokes that give depth and tactile richness to the surface. Each shape feels carefully constructed, yet retains the energy of the hand that painted it, merging structure with spontaneity.

    This work is a celebration of the modern city at night – a mosaic of light, shadow, and human presence – rendered through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame that has a unique beaded detailing. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Unspoken Between Us

    The Unspoken Between Us

    £405

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An enigmatic contemporary figurative painting that presents two semi-abstracted figures, rendered in broad, raw brushstrokes, and executed in oil onto board.

    The central figure dominates the composition with a pale pink face, its expression subdued and introspective, clothed in a deep block of black that anchors the work. To the left, a second, fainter visage emerges – its features less defined, almost spectral – set against a backdrop of intense crimson.

    The style is deeply expressionistic, favouring emotional resonance over realism. The artist has used loose, textured brushwork, allowing streaks of paint to drag and layer across the surface. The palette is limited but powerful: saturated reds, stark black, white, and fleshy pinks combine to create a mood of tension and vulnerability. The contrast between the figures and the turbulent background enhances the sense of psychological depth, suggesting themes of presence and absence, solitude and companionship.

    This is a painting that invites reflection – it conveys both fragility and unease, capturing fleeting, human emotions with raw immediacy.

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

    Passing Moments

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century painting that captures a fleeting atmospheric street scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is set against the backdrop of a large building. In the foreground, scattered figures in coats and hats move across an open square, their simplified forms rendered with brisk, confident brushstrokes. Leafless trees punctuate the composition, their dark linear trunks rising against the pale ground, while a lamp post anchors the right-hand side.

    The artist has used a restrained yet evocative palette: earthy ochres and muted greens dominate the architecture and square, while deep blues, blacks, and touches of red provide contrast and rhythm throughout the work. The brushwork is bold and expressive, with textured strokes conveying movement and liveliness in the urban setting.

    The scene has a strong narrative presence – figures cross paths under a dusky sky, hinting at the quiet routines of city life. The painting balances structure with spontaneity, embodying the modernist spirit of mid-century urban scenes.

    Seated Figures

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century painting that depicts a group of five seated figures, rendered in a semi-abstract, modernist style, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figures are portrayed with softened outlines and reduced detail, their forms emerging from blocks of muted yet luminous colour.

    The palette is dominated by earthy yellows, olive greens, and sandy beiges, contrasted with cooler tones of blue, teal, and soft grey. Occasional accents of warm sienna and coral pink enliven the composition, drawing attention to hands and garments.

    The brushwork is broad and layered, with visible strokes that create texture and depth, lending the piece a sense of movement despite its still subject matter. Background and figures merge fluidly, suggesting both unity and ambiguity, as if the figures are part of their environment as much as distinct from it.

    There is a contemplative, almost solemn mood in the painting – the figures seem to share a moment of quiet reflection or conversation, inviting the viewer to sense the unspoken bond between them.

    Town by the Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A modernist style cityscape painting that captures a serene coastal town scene, executed in oil onto board and dated 1974.

    The composition is dominated by the silhouette of an old stone ruin at its centre, set against the backdrop of a calm sea and expansive sky. Clustered houses with terracotta-red and ochre rooftops surround the structure, their geometric forms contrasting with the organic shapes of dark green trees and cypress spires. A distant ship with a faint plume of smoke drifts across the horizon, adding a subtle sense of movement to the otherwise still composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet evocative style, the painting demonstrates the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: simplified architectural forms, bold blocks of colour, and an emphasis on light and shadow over fine detail.

    A large and soothing mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil countryside view with a winding river cutting diagonally across open fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition leads the eye into the distance, where layered hills and a soft, expansive sky stretch across the horizon. The painting conveys both stillness and quiet movement, as the river becomes a guiding line through the scene.

    Painted in a modernist, mid-century manner, the artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms rather than meticulous detail. The work leans towards abstraction while retaining enough realism to evoke a recognisable landscape.

    The palette is earthy yet luminous, with rich greens, browns, and muted burgundies in the foreground fields. A bold streak of deep blue defines the river, contrasting against the surrounding land.

    A mid-century painting that depicts a quiet coastal village scene, capturing the everyday rhythms of life by the sea, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, two adult figures and two children are shown walking towards the water’s edge, their simplified forms reduced to geometric blocks of colour. Between them, a broad expanse of fabric or net stretches out, leading the eye towards the distant horizon. A fishing boat sails calmly in the background, suggesting the livelihood and maritime traditions of the community.

    The land stretches broadly under an expansive sky, the furrowed fields rendered in warm browns, yellow, and soft greens, suggesting freshly turned soil and new growth. Patches of verdant green brushstrokes punctuate the earth, hinting at the season’s renewal, while clusters of trees appear on the horizon, their foliage painted in luminous tones of green.

    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.

    Tulips in a Blue Vase

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed floral still life composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1947 on the reverse.

    This painting is a still life depicting a bouquet of tulips in a blue vase. The flowers have dark red and purple petals with white edges, and their stems and leaves are long and curved. The background features broad, textured brushstrokes in muted browns, blues, and purples, creating a moody atmosphere. The table surface is painted in light tones of cream and greenish hues, contrasting the darker backdrop.

    The colours in this painting don’t shout, they whisper, giving the painting a soft, contemplative silence. There’s a tangible calm, as if time has slowed down just long enough to notice the fleeting moment.

    The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible strokes that suggest movement and texture. The artist seems to use a technique where the individual strokes build form rather than smooth blending, adding a painterly quality.

    Tulips, often associated with love and rebirth, are shown here slightly wilted and heavy—perhaps representing impermanence or the bittersweet nature of memory. The heavy lean of the stems feels like a surrender to gravity, a soft echo of time’s pull.

    This oil on board is presented in very well made wood frame with an inner brown border, which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Rooftops in Rhythm

    Rooftops in Rhythm

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively mid-century oil painting that captures a tightly woven urban street scene, composed of overlapping rooftops and clustered facades, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has reduced the architecture into simplified geometric planes, creating a rhythmic patchwork of shapes that echo the rise and fall of a townscape. A crisp white house with a bold terracotta roof stands at the center, anchoring the composition, while a striking teal roof to the left provides a vibrant counterbalance.

    Executed in a modernist, almost cubist-inspired manner, the piece emphasises flattened forms and spatial compression rather than strict realism. The brushstrokes are controlled yet textured, with clear delineations that carve out the roofs and walls in confident blocks of colour.

    The palette blends earthy reds, deep browns, and muted greys with contrasting highlights of creamy whites and a vivid turquoise. The restrained use of pastel lilacs and dusky pinks softens the angular geometry, lending warmth to the architectural study.Broad, solid brushstrokes define the rooftops with minimal blending, creating sharp contrasts between each plane. The overall application feels deliberate and structured, reinforcing the sense of order within the crowded composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a very well suited linen-lined frame with an outer and inner grey border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age wear but it is in good stable condition.

There is a large red circle positioned in the top right quadrant – this striking element resembles the sun or moon, radiating a powerful visual presence, anchoring the composition. Below the red circle is a sweeping shape in green, possibly representing a grassy hill or field, surrounded by brown, beige, and ochre, evoking earth or terrain.

    There are small red marks scattered to the green and brown area, which add interest and detail and encourage you to look deeper at the painting, drawing you in.

    Despite its boldness, the horizontal layering and balanced composition give a sense of calm and order. This is the kind of painting that invites multiple interpretations—sunset over a landscape, a memory, or even an abstract metaphor for time and place.

    This oil on board is presented in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Objects in Conversation

    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.

  • Cacti by the Window

    Cacti by the Window

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An elegant mid-century still life that captures a charming scene of three potted plants arranged along a windowsill and silhouetted against an exterior scene of houses, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1947.

    The central cactus dominates the composition with its upright, almost sculptural form, flanked by 2 other leafy plants on its sides. Through the window, the viewer glimpses a townscape with brown and red buildings, softened by pale skies and winter-bare trees.

    Painted in an expressive style, the work fuses still life with urban landscape. It is representational but simplified, with a strong emphasis on shape, form, and the interplay between interior and exterior space. The artist captures not just the plants themselves, but also the mood of the scene – a quiet, contemplative moment of domestic life through the use of earthy muted shades.

    The brushwork is bold and textured, with a rough, impasto application that gives the surface a tactile quality. Forms are built up through broad, confident strokes, while details are pared back to essentials, creating a sense of rhythm and structure.

    This oil on board is beautifully presented in a well-suited wooden frame with an inner gilt border. The work itself is in good vintage condition, with two small pin holes to the top section when inspected closely (one at the middle of the top edge and another near the blossoming tree) – which do not detract from its overall impression. The frame is also in good condition with minor surface wear.

    Executed in an expressive, modern style, the artist has used visible, confident brushstrokes that create texture and a sense of vitality throughout the composition. This still life radiates a sense of warmth and optimism, as the vivid red clusters burst with life against the calm, cool backdrop.

  • Blue Bowl & Pears

    Blue Bowl & Pears

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but very striking still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, 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 balanced arrangement of fruit upon a wooden surface. At the centre sits a vivid cobalt-blue bowl, cradling a bright yellow lemon and a tightly clustered bunch of deep purple grapes, accented with a bold green leaf. Surrounding the bowl are five pears in varying tones of green and brown, their organic forms adding rhythm and balance to the composition.

    The artist has used a simplified, almost sculptural style, emphasising solid blocks of colour and clear outlines over intricate detail. The palette is bold and saturated, contrasting jewel-like purples and blues against earthy browns and greens, with the lemon’s intense yellow providing a sharp highlight. The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, flat applications of paint that create a sense of weight and presence.

    The background is rendered in horizontal bands of brown, giving a structured backdrop that contrasts with the roundness of the fruit.

    This tempera on board is presented in a well suited frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • 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.

    This oil on board is is presented in a beautiful wide wooden frame with natural wood grain visible. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small mark on its top inner section.

    A warm and nostalgic figurative composition depicting a lively market scene, painted in oil onto board, framed and ready to hang.

    The loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold yet slightly muted colours give it an impressionistic feel. The figures appear in mid-conversation or activity, creating a sense of movement and casual everyday life.

    The central figure, a woman in a black top and green skirt, appears calm and composed. She draws the viewer’s eye and provides a human anchor amid the busier setting. The background shows fragmented architecture, sunlight, and possibly docks or sails, all rendered in a painterly, almost abstract way.

    Maris

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A enigmatic figurative oil painting that presents a striking, abstracted portrait of a lone figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

    The subject is rendered with elongated, geometric features, their pale face standing starkly against a moody, layered background. The figure’s hair, painted in a deep, earthy rust-red, frames the face and flows downward, anchoring the composition.

    The style is boldly modernist, with an emphasis on simplified forms and blocks of colour rather than fine detail. The palette is restrained yet atmospheric: muted blue-greys dominate the ground, offset by the ochre-yellow of the garment and the rusty red of the hair. Subtle tonal variations and visible brushstrokes add texture and depth, giving the surface a raw, tactile quality.

    The brushwork is expressive and confident, with layered strokes that reveal the artist’s hand. Shadows and planes of colour are suggested rather than fully defined, creating a sense of mystery and introspection. The overall impression is one of quiet strength and contemplative stillness, in keeping with the aesthetics of mid-century abstraction.

  • Veils of Grey

    Veils of Grey

    Sold

    SOLD

    A  large mid-century abstract painting that explores an interplay of muted tones and layered forms, creating a composition that feels both architectural and atmospheric, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject matter is non-representational, allowing the viewer to interpret shifting planes and subtle depths that suggest shadowed interiors or blurred landscapes without resolving into a fixed image.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of whites, greys, silvers, and soft taupe, with occasional accents of darker brown and hints of blue, the work captures a cool, contemplative mood.

    The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate – some areas built up with dense, textured applications, while others are feathered, thinned, or softly blended to create a sense of translucency and motion. The overall effect is one of quiet dynamism, as if forms are emerging and dissolving within a luminous fog.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Chair by the Archway

    Chair by the Archway

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

    The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

    The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

    The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A serene mid-century landscape painting that presents a quiet neighbourhood scene, where houses and rooftops cluster beneath a line of slender trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition conveys both shelter and openness, with architectural forms emerging softly through the vertical rhythm of trunks and branches.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting simplifies the built environment into blocks of muted tones while a red structure provides a vibrant focal point among the cooler palette. Above, a pale blue sky stretches across the canvas, evoking a crisp, clear atmosphere.

    The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, layered to suggest the shifting interplay of light and shadow. Instead of precise detailing, the artist captures the essence of place: the harmony of trees, rooftops, and streets blending together in a cohesive whole.

    The suggestion of the sea can be seen in the background, framed by simple geometric rooftops and houses rendered in muted tones. The figures appear almost sculpted from the paint itself, evoking a sense of companionship.

    Executed in an expressive modernist style, the artist has used broad brushstrokes and thick impasto to build texture and depth. The palette is dominated by cool greys, muted blues, soft creams, and earthy neutrals, creating a subdued yet harmonious composition. The simplified forms and blurred facial features lend the work an introspective and contemplative atmosphere, placing emphasis on mood and structure over detail.

    SOLD

    A mid-century coastal landscape painting that captures the quiet meeting point between land, sea, and sky in a softened abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The horizon line divides the composition with calm simplicity: a pale sky stretches above a tranquil blue sea, while the foreground is alive with textured planes of yellow, orange, rust, and sandy beige. These earthy tones suggest windswept dunes basking under light, while the faint hints of rose and lavender lend a delicate warmth to the scene.

    Painted in an abstract impressionist manner, the artist has used broad, confident strokes, layering thick impastos of colour that create both depth and vibrancy. The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with overlapping textures that blur the boundaries between natural forms, evoking movement and atmosphere.

    Cottages by the Coast

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century coastal landscape composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    this painting captures a cluster of whitewashed houses with red roofs nestled amongst greenery, leading down toward the open expanse of sea. A winding sandy path moves through the centre of the scene, guiding the viewer’s eye from the foreground village to the calm water and distant headlands on the horizon.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the artist has reduced forms to bold, simplified shapes, giving the scene a structured yet tranquil quality. The emphasis is on composition and tonal balance rather than fine detail.

    The colour palette is harmonious with soft greys and muted blues dominating the sky and water. Deep greens define the trees and foliage, offset by creamy whites of the buildings and the warm terracotta and russet hues of the roofs.

    The brushwork is broad, flat, and assured, with blocks of colour laid down in an almost geometric manner. Visible, textured strokes lend energy and tactility to the surface, while the overall handling reinforces the sense of quiet order and calm in the scene.

  • Blue Horizon

    Blue Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century painting that presents a serene and minimalist abstraction of a coastal landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is reduced to bold horizontal bands and planes of colour, evoking sea, sky, and shoreline through pure geometry.

    The subject matter is suggested rather than depicted – soft gradations of blue recall the horizon line where sea meets sky, while the darker horizontal strip hints at a distant shoreline, and the pale lower section conveys the sandy openness of the beach.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with a restrained geometric abstraction typical of mid-century sensibilities. The artist emphasises simplicity, balance, and a meditative stillness, favouring form and colour over literal detail.

    The colours are cool and calming: pale sky blue and soft powder blue are contrasted with earthy browns, muted creams, and gentle yellows. These tones create both harmony and subtle tension across the composition.

    The brushstrokes are controlled and smooth, with areas of solid flat colour applied in broad planes, giving the painting a crisp, clean quality. The artist’s hand is deliberately understated, prioritising structure and tonal contrasts over texture.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary and well made wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

  • 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.

    An elegant mid-century still life composition that presents a pared-back arrangement of a single green pear alongside a white pitcher, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is striking in its simplicity, emphasising the quiet relationship between form, line, and negative space.

    Painted in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used clean, confident brushstrokes and a limited palette of muted greys, soft blues, and creamy whites, punctuated by the fresh, vivid green of the pear. The play of shadow and light across the tabletop introduces subtle tonal variations, while the black accents on the pitcher handle and base lend contrast and visual rhythm.

    The brushwork is deliberate yet unfussy – broad, smooth strokes for background and surface planes, and more defined, darker lines for the outlines and details. The result is a composition that feels at once minimal and contemplative.

    A mid-century modernist abstract oil composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Bengt Delefors (1917-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Borås Art Museum, and others.

    This abstract still life composition has been reduced to bold, geometric forms and overlapping planes of colour. A circular form rests against angular shapes, suggesting the presence of everyday objects reimagined through abstraction. The composition is carefully balanced, with diagonal strokes introducing movement across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century abstract style, the work embraces simplification and geometric reduction, drawing on the principles of Cubism while leaning into a modernist emphasis on form and structure over representation.

    The palette is earthy yet dynamic, dominated by deep greens, muted browns, and bold blocks of red, offset by neutral tones of beige and cream. The interplay of darker and lighter hues creates depth and tonal contrast, giving the surface both rhythm and solidity.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, with areas of thickly applied paint and visible strokes that enhance the painting’s sense of immediacy and physical presence. The layering of opaque and semi-opaque colours builds a structured, tactile surface.

    An expressive mid-century modernist landscape that captures a quiet riverside valley, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is dominated by angular mountains in deep forest greens and dark charcoals, their rugged forms rendered with bold, expressive brushwork. A wide, silvery river cuts across the middle ground, its surface marked by thick, horizontal strokes of slate grey and muted blue, suggesting the shimmer of icy water. In the foreground, simplified geometric shapes hint at houses or cabins along the riverbank, grounding the scene in human presence.

    The palette is restrained yet powerful, with cool greys, steely blues, and earthy greens accented by subtle touches of brown and white.

    Whispers of Blue

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very pleasant and soothing modernist abstract landscape oil composition dated 1964, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    The painting presents a lyrical abstraction of nature, rendered in a simplified, expressive manner. Dominating the canvas is a large, cloud-like form in soft sky blue, spreading across the surface in loose, swirling brushstrokes that suggest movement and depth. Around this central mass, smaller organic shapes in earthy olive-greens rise vertically, evoking trees or natural formations, while muted pink and cream passages peek through, softening the composition.

    The style is minimalist yet painterly, leaning toward abstraction while still evoking landscape elements. The palette is restrained but harmonious: pale blue, moss green, muted pink, and warm beige. The brushwork is broad, textured, and somewhat gestural, creating a sense of spontaneity and rhythm.

    Overall, the piece balances form and void, evoking the serenity of a landscape distilled into pure colour and shape.

    A semi-abstract mid-century painting that presents a serene harbour scene with moored boats set against softly shifting reflections of water and sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    The artist has abstracted the forms of vessels and docks into interlocking geometric planes, capturing the essence of the harbour through suggestion rather than detail.

    Executed in a restrained yet harmonious palette, the work features muted ochres, warm browns, dusty blues, and gentle greens, punctuated by touches of rust-red along the hulls.

    A pale sandy shoreline curves gently into the canvas, embraced by rolling hills rendered in muted olive and sage tones. Beyond, a calm expanse of blue-grey water stretches across the composition, fading into a sky of pale blue and light peach with delicate cloud sweeps.

    The artist has worked in a semi-abstract modernist style, reducing natural forms to broad planes of colour and fluid, interwoven shapes. The palette is harmonious yet subtly contrasting – earthy browns and greens meet with cooler greys and sky blues. Brushstrokes are gestural and loose, layering both horizontal sweeps and curved motions that suggest movement in land and water.

    Mediterranean Rooftops

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that captures the sunlit charm of a coastal Mediterranean village, where whitewashed houses rise in layered planes against the calm backdrop of the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The subject matter focuses on architectural forms – flat rooftops, arched facades, and shaded recesses – simplified into interlocking blocks of light and shadow. A few dark accents of trees break the uniformity of white, grounding the composition with contrast.

    Painted in a modernist style, the work emphasizes structure and atmosphere over detail, with an almost abstract quality to the geometry of the buildings. The palette is restrained, dominated by soft whites, pale greys, and cool sky blues, punctuated by deep green-blacks that suggest foliage.

    The brushstrokes are broad, fluid, and confident, applied in sweeping motions that suggest light glancing across plaster walls. Layers of paint overlap loosely, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, while still retaining a balance of form and rhythm. The overall effect is serene yet dynamic – an evocative study of place through shape, tone, and atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. There is a small indentation to the canvas on the top half, otherwise the painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

  • Girl Reading with Vase

    Girl Reading with Vase

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet, contemplative moment of a young woman reading, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure, dressed in a soft blue garment, is seated in profile, her blonde hair carefully modelled with broad planes of colour. In front of her, a tall patterned vase decorated with patch-like blocks of muted blues, greens, pinks, and grey provides a bold counterpoint to her delicate form.

    The composition is built from simplified geometric shapes and flat planes, balancing figuration with semi-abstraction. The palette is harmonious yet lively. The brushstrokes are bold, visible, and confident. They have been applied with a thickness that lends the painting a tactile presence.

    This work embodies the modernist pursuit of distilling everyday life into essential shapes and colours, creating both intimacy and abstraction within a single frame.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame and an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The scene is reduced to bold horizontal bands of colour, evoking the sweep of open fields, sky, and distant land. The houses appear as simplified, block-like forms  – dark silhouettes accented with white and red – standing in quiet contrast against the rich layers of the landscape.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work emphasises abstraction and rhythm over detail, distilling the essence of farmland into pure forms.

    The brushwork is measured and horizontal, with deliberate layering that builds subtle depth while maintaining a calm and minimalist aesthetic. The simplicity of line and form imbues the painting with a contemplative, timeless quality.

  • Earthen Horizon

    Earthen Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century abstract painting that evokes a quiet, atmospheric landscape through restrained simplicity, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is divided into two sweeping planes: a broad expanse of earthy brown and grey tones that anchor the lower half, contrasted with a soft, muted sky in shades of lighter greys and beige above. At their meeting point, textured strokes of white and pale grey suggest drifting mist or distant light, imbuing the work with depth and a sense of horizon.

    The artist has used a minimalist yet expressive style, where the subject matter becomes more suggestion than representation. Broad, horizontal brushstrokes are layered with subtle variations, creating tonal gradations and a tactile surface. The impasto work along the horizon adds movement, balancing the otherwise serene, meditative field.

    This painting’s restrained palette and textural abstraction reflect the mid-century modernist sensibility – favouring atmosphere, mood, and material over literal depiction.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a very well suited silver metal frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Memories by the Sea

    Memories by the Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene figurative composition dated 1973 and painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    Depicted in this oil is a coastal scene with figures resting on a grassy hillside. The brushwork is loose and expressive, giving the piece a dreamlike, almost fleeting quality—as though it depicts a memory or a hazy summer afternoon.

    In the foreground, four figures are painted in soft, warm tones of peach, cream, and ochre, their forms blending gently into the lush greens of the grass. Their postures suggest ease and leisure—some reclining, others seated upright—absorbing the warmth of the sun. The figures are not highly detailed but rather suggested through gestural strokes, allowing the viewer to feel their presence without being distracted by specifics.

    Behind them, the landscape rolls into dark green hills and trees, leading the eye toward a stretch of calm blue sea and pale sky at the horizon. The colour palette balances cool greens and blues with warm highlights, evoking a harmonious, restful mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a gilt and black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and losses.

  • House on the Hill

    House on the Hill

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and lively landscape painting that depicts a quiet suburban scene dominated by a white house set against lush greenery and an expansive blue sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1985.

    The composition is pared back to essential geometric forms – rectangular planes of house, hedge, and pavement, offset by rounded, block-like shapes of trees and bushes. A solitary vertical pole bisects the scene, adding structure and balance.

    The style is characteristically modernist, emphasizing abstraction over fine detail. Colours are laid down in broad, flat fields: vivid cobalt blue for the sky, deep greens for the hedges, warm purples and greys for the street and hillside, punctuated by flashes of yellow and red that animate the composition.

    The brushstrokes are bold, applied with confident, blocky movements that create a sense of solidity and rhythm rather than illusionistic depth. This restrained yet expressive handling distills the everyday view into a harmonious study of form, colour, and balance.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition – there is some light surface craquelure to the house areas as shown in close ups but the paint layer is very stable.

  • The Steam Train

    The Steam Train

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto board 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.

    This landscape painting captures a stylised countryside scene with a steam train cutting across the middle ground, its billowing white smoke rising into a pale blue sky. The artist has simplified the forms into bold, geometric blocks of colour: deep greens and browns for the fields, sandy beige for the pathways, and darker earthy tones for the hills. A sliver of blue at the horizon suggests the sea, adding depth and contrast to the composition.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the work reduces natural detail in favour of strong shapes and tonal contrasts. The brushstrokes are broad and confident, applied with a matte, almost flat quality, lending the piece a sense of clarity. The balance between abstraction and representation gives the scene both immediacy and timeless simplicity, characteristic of mid-century aesthetics.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has some light surface marks but this does not detract and it is in good vintage condition overall, and the frame has scuffs present.

    Sailboats in Still Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century seascape that captures a serene harbour scene with a row of sailboats gently anchored, their tall masts mirrored in the calm water below, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of soft blues, sandy beiges, and muted whites, evoking the hazy atmosphere of a sunlit coastal morning. The forms are simplified and abstracted, emphasising shape and tonal harmony over fine detail.

    Broad, confident brushstrokes define the sails and their reflections, while areas of the canvas are left with a loose, almost sketch-like quality, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood. The surface shows a subtle layering of paint, where hints of underpainting peek through, adding depth and texture.

    This work balances elegance and abstraction, offering both a sense of place and a timeless modernist aesthetic.

    At the center stands a tall black pitcher with a sweeping handle, its form accentuated by patches of turquoise, white, and yellow that lend vibrancy and depth. In the foreground, two deep red onions and a bulb of garlic anchor the composition, their rounded shapes contrasting with the pitcher’s angular silhouette.

    The artist has used a highly textured technique, layering thick strokes of oil paint that leave visible ridges across the surface. The palette is restrained yet powerful, dominated by black, grey, and white, with strategic bursts of colour to enliven the scene.

    Sold

    SOLD

    An excellently executed coastal composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, the water shimmers in shades of turquoise, blue, and green, touched with subtle reflections of light and colour. A tall, thin red navigation marker rises from the water, its reflection stretching below, providing a striking focal point against the cool palette.

    In the distance, a line of sailboats and small vessels rests calmly on the water, their masts pointing upwards and adding rhythm to the horizon. Behind them, lush, rolling green hills dominate the backdrop, with scattered white cottages nestled among the trees, suggesting a peaceful village setting. The sky is painted in muted pastel tones, capturing a soft morning or evening light, which enhances the calm and contemplative mood of the scene.

    The overall effect is both idyllic and refreshing, a celebration of the quiet beauty of coastal life. The brushwork balances realism with painterly looseness, inviting the viewer to linger on the surface textures and the soothing interplay of colours.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents an abstracted interior scene rendered in a cubist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The composition is built from interlocking geometric blocks of colour, suggesting architectural forms, furniture, and a seated figure to the right. The artist breaks the interior down into a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles and planes, creating a layered sense of depth while preserving a flattened, modernist aesthetic.

    The palette is dominated by muted mauves, greys, and blacks, enlivened with striking accents of cobalt blue and deep crimson. These colours are applied in confident, opaque blocks, their edges sometimes softened by visible brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand. The brushwork is assertive, giving the impression of both structure and spontaneity.

    Hints of a chair, a table, and a figure are discernible but dissolve into abstraction, leaving the viewer to navigate between representation and geometry. This work reflects the mid-century embrace of cubist abstraction, balancing formal rigour with expressive colour.

  • Window with Ball

    Window with Ball

    An enigmatic surrealist oil painting that presents a dark background dominated by a single window and a tricoloured ball, executed in oil onto board.

    The window panes have been divided into geometric sections revealing muted grey rooftops beneath a pale blue sky. Below the window floats a ball – its placement lending an air of quiet mystery and symbolism.

    The composition is minimalist yet bold, marked by sharp contrasts between the flat darkness of the wall, the cool angular forms of the rooftops, and the round, playful sphere. The palette is restrained, relying on midnight blue, grey, black, and muted pastels, punctuated by the vibrant tri-band of the ball, which becomes the focal point of the work.

    The brushwork is controlled and precise, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise form and clarity over texture. The handling reflects an affinity with surrealist traditions, evoking both stillness and intrigue.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century modernist painting that presents a strikingly abstracted view of the coastal town of Cadaqués in Spain, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.

    The artist has distilled the clustered houses into bold, geometric blocks, evoking the distinctive terracotta and ochre rooftops set against pale walls. The composition has layered these forms across the surface in rhythmic harmony, suggesting the tight-knit hillside architecture that characterises Mediterranean villages.

    Executed in a restrained palette of earthy ochres, muted greys, soft whites, and warm clay tones, the work captures both the warmth of sunlit surfaces and the cool shadows of narrow streets. The brushstrokes are broad, textured, and deliberate, leaving visible traces of the painter’s hand and imbuing the scene with a raw, tactile energy.

    The overall effect is both architectural and atmospheric, blending abstraction with place-specific memory. The painting overall  has a focus on simplification, harmony of form and colour, as well as on structural essence rather than detail.

    Angular rooftops in bold terracotta tones dominate the composition, intersecting with planes of pale green, lavender, and cream. A suggestion of a tree in soft green stands alongside the houses, its form simplified into blocky, geometric shapes.

    The palette balances warm hues with muted pastels, giving the work both vibrancy and restraint.

    Where the Pines Meet the Sky

    Sold

    SOLD

    An engaging mid-century modernist landscape painting that  presents a stylised vision of a woodland scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

    The composition captures a cluster of tall trees rising, their trunks rendered in rich brown and their foliage broken into angular planes of green. In the foreground, a pool reflects the muted light, grounding the scene in nature while balancing the composition with a patch of cool grey-blue.

    The work leans towards a Cubist-inspired style, with the trees and leaves simplified into overlapping geometric forms. Rather than striving for naturalistic detail, the artist conveys rhythm and structure, capturing the essence of the forest through abstraction.

    The colour palette is earthy yet vibrant, dominated by greens in multiple shades – deep pine, moss, olive, and emerald – contrasted by soft blues and greys of the sky. The brushstrokes are bold and deliberate, laid down in flat planes that build a sense of volume and depth without blending.

    A warm and inviting mid-century painting that captures a quiet charm of an interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1964.

    The scene is centred around a wooden writing desk topped with a pitcher of fresh blue blossoms. A simple wooden chair sits before it, while a delicate armchair with intricate circular patterns is placed to the left. On the wall, framed artworks, a glowing table lamp, and a glimpse of a mirror or window reflecting a vase of pink flowers create layers of visual interest. The arrangement captures a lived-in, thoughtful space, quietly animated by the presence of everyday objects.

    Painted in a mid-century modern style, the work emphasises form, colour, and structure over strict realism. The composition is built from large, blocky shapes and softened outlines, giving the scene a warm, slightly abstracted quality.

    The palette is muted yet very balanced. The brushwork is loose and painterly, applied in visible, layered strokes that build texture and rhythm. Broad, confident applications of paint define surfaces, while smaller, more delicate strokes capture details such as the wicker chair pattern and the clustered petals of the flowers.

    A vivid and vibrant semi-abstract still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    This vibrant still life painting bursts with energy, colour, and texture. Executed in thick, expressive strokes of oil paint, it depicts a lively arrangement of fruit—a watermelon, pears, and an apple—set around a bold white jug or vessel.

    The palette is dominated by fiery oranges and reds, offset by cool greens, blues, and earthy neutrals, creating a striking visual rhythm. The artist uses impasto technique, layering paint thickly so that the surface itself becomes dynamic and tactile, almost sculptural.

    Forms are loosely defined and semi-abstract, with bold black outlines and simplified shapes that emphasise movement over realism. The objects tilt and overlap in a way that feels playful and spontaneous, reflecting the modernist influence of mid-20th-century European still life painting.

    The overall effect is joyful, bold, and full of life—a painting that doesn’t just capture objects but transforms them into a celebration of colour and form. Its golden frame heightens the sense of richness and drama, making it a striking statement piece for any interior.

    Cubist Picnic

    Sold

    A striking painting that presents a lively outdoor dining scene interpreted through a playful Cubist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1986.

    Fragmented figures and objects – plates, cutlery, food, and bottles -are reassembled into a bold, geometric composition. Faces, limbs, and tableware overlap in dynamic angles, giving the impression of multiple perspectives unfolding simultaneously.

    The palette is vibrant and saturated. Sharp contrasts of colour planes create rhythm and movement across the canvas, while the artist uses flat, angular brushstrokes to emphasise form over realism. Details like a patterned dish of food, a bottle of salt, and stylised trees in the background contribute to the sense of narrative within abstraction.

    Executed in a flattened, semi-abstract style characteristic of Cubist and post-Cubist traditions, the work balances playful energy with structural harmony.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has a mark on its right side but this does not affect its overall attractiveness, and the frame has some small scuffs present.

  • Cottage Among the Trees

    Cottage Among the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing semi-abstract mid-century modernist painting that presents a white cottage nestled among trees, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    The composition is rendered in a semi-abstract style, where natural forms are simplified into blocks of muted colour. The house, with its pale walls and ochre roof, stands as the focal point, framed by the surrounding foliage and a single bare-branched tree in the foreground.

    The palette is restrained and earthy, with soft tones of sage green, olive, beige, brown, and hints of lavender-grey, creating a sense of calm and understated harmony. The sky is suggested with cool, hazy blues, gently diffusing into the treetops.

    Executed with bold, textured brushstrokes and areas of impasto, the surface has a tactile quality that emphasises the painter’s hand. Forms are built up in broad, angular strokes, giving the scene a structural yet atmospheric presence. The overall effect is one of quiet modernism – balancing abstraction with recognisable subject matter.

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

  • 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.

  • Seaside Promenade

    Seaside Promenade

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing mid-century coastal scene painting that depicts a group of figures strolling along the edge of a beach, framed against a vast expanse of sea and sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figures are loosely rendered, their forms blending into the shifting sands and soft spray of the tide, creating a sense of transience and movement. Two smaller figures appear in the foreground, suggesting a family outing or leisurely gathering at the water’s edge.

    The painting is executed in a semi-impressionistic style, with broad, fluid brushstrokes capturing the energy of the ocean and the play of light across the water. The sky dominates the composition, filled with sweeping clouds in layered whites, greys, and soft blues, giving the scene a sense of both grandeur and atmosphere.

    The palette is natural and harmonious – muted greens, sandy ochres, pale creams, and cool blues evoke the breezy, shifting qualities of a coastal landscape. The figures are touched with deeper, warmer hues, providing contrast and rhythm against the softer tones of sea and sky.

    The brushwork is expressive and spontaneous, with textured layering that enhances the sense of movement in the clouds and the restless tide. The overall impression is one of fleeting beauty – a captured moment of everyday life along the shoreline, alive with atmosphere and painterly vitality.

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

  • Figure in the Doorway

    Figure in the Doorway

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century painting that presents a quiet yet enigmatic interior scene, painted in oil onto board and dated 1954.

    At the center, a wooden chair is angled toward the viewer, its form simplified but solid, resting on a textured floor. Beyond, in the doorway, stands the faint silhouette of a lone figure in a long garment, their presence blurred and shadowed, suggesting mystery or distance.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work combines both figurative and abstract qualities. The composition is pared back, relying on the strong geometry of the chair, doorway, and vertical planes of colour to structure the space. The moody palette is rich and earthy, with deep browns, warm ochres, and muted greens offset by dark shadowed passages that intensify the mood.

    The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, applied with visible texture and energy. Textured areas contrast with more thinly brushed passages, creating a play between solidity and suggestion. The figure itself is rendered in loose, gestural marks, dissolving into the background rather than standing out, emphasising atmosphere over detail.

    Overall, the painting captures the stillness of an interior space while imbuing it with psychological weight, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between absence, presence, and memory.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary solid wood frame with distinct grain, that adds character to the painting.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

  • Stairwell Passage

    Stairwell Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

    An abstract mid-century painting that presents a loosely structured cityscape, likely depicting an alleyway or stairwell framed by urban architecture, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject matter is suggested rather than precisely defined, with forms of stairs, walls, and a slender lamppost-like shape emerging through layered brushstrokes. The scene gives an impression of movement and transience, as if glimpsed quickly while passing through.

    Executed in an abstract expressionist manner, the work balances between representation and abstraction. While there are hints of architectural elements, the focus is on atmosphere and painterly effect rather than literal detail. The composition is dynamic, with angled lines creating depth and perspective that draw the eye inward.

    The brushwork is energetic and varied – broad, gestural sweeps contrast with more angular, deliberate marks to suggest structure. The layering of muted shades create texture and depth, with areas of raw canvas and loosely applied paint adding to the painting’s immediacy. The strokes appear spontaneous yet controlled, giving the composition a sense of rhythm and vitality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary floater gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some paint marks at its left edge.

  • 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.

    Size:  95 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

    The Kettle

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and wonderfully textured mid-century still life composition that presents a simple yet compelling arrangement of everyday kitchen objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At the centre sits a copper kettle, its warm reddish-brown tones catching the light with subtle shifts of dark brown and russet. Behind it rises a blue bottle topped with a stark black dispenser, its vertical form contrasting the rounded bulk of the kettle. In the foreground, a small stove burner anchors the composition, rendered in deep greys and blacks.

    The artist has used a confident impasto technique, laying down thick, textured strokes of oil paint that emphasise form and surface over fine detail. The palette is restrained yet striking: earthy browns, deep blues, and muted greys set against a pale, neutral background. The brushwork is vigorous and directional, with strong diagonals and broken passages of paint that create both structure and movement within the scene.

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

  • Pair of Staffordshire Dogs (Blue)

    Pair of Staffordshire Dogs (Blue)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A delightful pair of paintings that reimagine the classic Staffordshire spaniel dogs, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    Presented as a facing pair, they echo the traditional mantelpiece figurines of the 19th century, yet with a fresh, painterly twist.

    Both dogs are shown seated upright, with white coats patterned in bold black patches that resemble stylised floral motifs. Their long, drooping black ears frame alert, soulful faces, each with bright yellow eyes and a small red mouth that add character and charm. Around their necks, the dogs wear golden collars with chain detailing, reinforcing their heritage as symbols of loyalty, companionship, and domestic pride.

    The backgrounds are particularly striking: a rich blue striped wall adds depth and rhythm, while the flat grey ground anchors the figures firmly in space. The bold use of colour contrasts beautifully with the black frames, enhancing the decorative presence of the pair.

    As with traditional Staffordshire dogs, one faces left and the other right, making them perfect companions. Their folk-art simplicity, flat planes of colour, and stylised forms give them a timeless, iconic appeal, at once nostalgic and contemporary.

    These paintings are appealing because they strike a balance between playfulness and heritage—celebrating the charm of Staffordshire dogs while transforming them into striking, graphic artworks that would add warmth and character to any wall.

    Each of these oils on board are housed in black painted wood frames with subtle gilt detailing. Both paintings are in excellent condition. The frames have some very minor scuffs but this is in keeping with their vintage style.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • Pair of Staffordshire Dogs (Red)

    Pair of Staffordshire Dogs (Red)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very charming pair of paintings depicting the iconic Staffordshire spaniel dogs, long celebrated in British folk art and ceramics, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The two dogs are painted in a deliberately naïve, decorative style that recalls the 19th-century porcelain mantelpiece figures they are inspired by.

    Each dog sits upright against a muted pinkish-red background, with a simple brown ground anchoring them in place. Their white coats are adorned with large chestnut-brown patches—rendered in stylised, almost floral shapes—that add rhythm and balance to the composition. Both dogs wear gilt collars with chain details, a hallmark of traditional Staffordshire imagery. Their soulful yellow eyes, drooping ears, and small red mouths give them an expressive, slightly whimsical quality, striking a balance between charm and solemnity.

    Presented as a pair, the paintings echo one another but are not identical—one dog faces left, the other right—making them natural companions, just as Staffordshire figurines were traditionally displayed in pairs.

    The appeal lies in their folk-art simplicity and decorative strength: bold flat shapes, warm earthy tones, and a sense of nostalgia that makes them feel timeless yet playful. They would add both character and heritage charm to any wall, bridging the line between painting and folk tradition.

    Each of these oils on board are housed in chestnut brown painted wood frames with subtle gilt detailing. Both paintings are in excellent condition. The frames have some very minor scuffs but this is in keeping with their vintage style.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and dynamic mid-century landscape painting scene of houses nestled in rolling green hills, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    At the centre,  a farmhouse with a sloping roof and chimney is flanked by a smaller outbuilding, both painted in earthy tones that anchor the scene. A winding track leads the viewer’s eye into the composition, curving through undulating fields of luminous greens that dominate the canvas. In the distance, clusters of trees and layered hills create a sense of depth and seclusion, while above, the sky is rendered with expressive strokes of pale blue, violet, and white.

    The style is boldly modernist, with loose, energetic brushwork and a sense of immediacy in execution. Colours are vibrant yet natural, dominated by shifting greens, ochres, and deep blues, accented by flashes of light that suggest fleeting sun across the fields. The brushstrokes are broad and textured, imparting movement and vitality, while still maintaining a structured composition that balances geometry and spontaneity.

    The Quiet Road Home

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street scene lined with houses and trees, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun., and executed in oil onto board.

    A row of houses lines the street, their facades softened by warm tones of terracotta, and muted blue. Tall, bare trees rise dramatically against the pale evening sky, their stark branches casting long, angular shadows across the path. A figures on the right has been reduced to a simplified silhouette, move gently along the sunlit road, adding a quiet human presence without disturbing the stillness of the scene.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting emphasises simplified forms and a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow rather than intricate detail. The brushstrokes are bold yet controlled, with swift, directional strokes that echo the lines of the trees and the lengthening shadows.

    The artist employs a harmonious balance of warm and cool tones to evoke the calm of twilight. The golden glow of the sunset contrasts with the cooler blue-greys of shaded areas, enhancing the depth of the composition. The mood is contemplative and serene, inviting viewers into a moment of quiet transition between day and night.

    Terrier

    A very endearing canine composition of a terrier dog , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The dog is painted in warm cream tones with distinct chestnut-brown patches on its body and around one eye, giving it a lively and characterful appearance. A red collar with a gold buckle provides a bold, cheerful accent that contrasts beautifully against the more muted background.

    The setting is minimal yet effective: rolling yellow hills stretch across the middle ground, while a soft grey sky looms above, dotted with stylised clouds and a small flock of black birds flying in formation. The ground beneath the terrier is painted in earthy browns, anchoring the composition.

    The overall effect is whimsical yet dignified—the terrier looks alert and self-assured, embodying the loyalty and confidence of the breed. The restrained palette and simple forms give the painting a timeless charm, while the details—the curled tail, the steady gaze—imbue it with personality.

    Set against a soft, muted background of rolling green hills and a pale grey-blue sky, the dog stands in profile, tail raised with alertness. Its body is lean and elegant, painted in cream tones with striking black patches, while the head is a warm chestnut brown. A simple blue collar around its neck adds a touch of personality and contrast.

    The style is minimalist yet expressive — flat planes of color, clean lines, and little surface detail. This simplicity allows the dog’s form and posture to take center stage, giving it a quiet dignity and a timeless quality. The muted palette enhances its calm and collected atmosphere, while the dog’s upright stance suggests loyalty, attentiveness, and companionship.

    This oil on board is housed in an off white frame with inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

    A playful and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

    This artworks is a two layered monoprint which creates new lines and curves through the simple layering. This allows each shape to emphasise its own individuality.

    Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

    It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

    Size:  61 x 44 cm (including frame)

    A playful and organic one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

    This artwork is created from two layers of ink on purple card. There is a slight texture to the dark blue, as some of the purple background can be seen underneath. The yellow flowers are slightly translucent but with thicker, textured ink. The flowers are made from a paper stencil which was of a drawing from the Essex coastline.

  • Vessels & Sculpture

    Vessels & Sculpture

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century still life that presents a striking composition of dark-toned vessels arranged upon a patterned textile, with a sculptural abstract form set against a deep plum backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At the forefront, a tall, slender vase and a rounded jug with a curving spout anchor the scene, their reflective surfaces rendered in moody blacks and greys. A geometric rug in red, blue, and white injects rhythm and contrast, its bold lines echoing the angular presence of the white sculptural form behind.

    Executed in oil, the painting reflects a restrained yet expressive mid-century sensibility. The palette is rich but muted – dominated by deep reds, greys, blacks, and earthy neutrals – balanced by the vibrant textile. The brushwork is confident, with layered textures that build form and volume while leaving visible the artist’s hand.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide wood frame finished in tones of soft grey with brown accents along the edges. The painting displays some craquelure, though the paint layer remains stable overall. There is a very small area of paint loss to the upper half of the picture, as shown in the close up photo. The frame shows some scuffs consistent with age as well.

  • Hillside Path

    Hillside Path

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that presents a bold and simplified view of a vast landscape scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through green and golden fields toward a body of deep blue water, flanked by steep, rounded hills in earthy browns and muted purples. A dense green shrub anchors the foreground, providing contrast against the golden fields and the cool expanse of water beyond.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with flattened planes of colour and an emphasis on form over detail. The artist has reduced the landscape into strong, geometric shapes, capturing the essence of the scene with clarity and economy.

    The palette is rich yet subdued. Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and deliberate, applied in smooth layers that enhance the sense of structure and solidity in the composition. The result is a landscape that feels both stylised and timeless, evoking a sense of journey and distance within its simplified, harmonious design.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a warm brown finish that subtly echoes the earthy tones within the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • The Distance Between

    The Distance Between

    £590

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene landscape painting that presents a solitary figure standing in a vast, open field, facing toward a distant white structure that rises against the horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The expansive sky occupies much of the canvas, shifting in gradient tones from pale cream near the horizon to soft blue above, evoking a sense of stillness and atmospheric depth.

    The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with bold horizontal divisions of land, horizon, and sky creating a structured balance. The dark green foreground contrasts with lighter bands of yellow and green, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central figure and the white building. The figure, rendered in simple but deliberate strokes of blue, introduces a quiet narrative of solitude, contemplation, or journey.

    The style is modernist and reductive, focusing on form and mood rather than intricate detail. Colours are clean and restrained – soft pastels in the sky, deep greens across the land, and a single bright accent of blue in the figure – lending the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

    Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with smooth transitions in the sky and more textural, layered application in the landscape. The painter’s hand is visible yet controlled, conveying both immediacy and calm.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.

  • The Juggler

    The Juggler

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting that presents a stylised performer rendered in bold geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure, dressed in a vivid patchwork costume of interlocking chevrons and colour blocks, stands poised with one arm outstretched, balancing two circular forms in green and blue. A mask and beret add to the theatrical quality, suggesting the subject is a harlequin or juggler.

    The composition is divided into distinct planes of muted colours that heighten the sense of stage-like drama. The ground is dotted with playful red and purple marks, while a looping line hints at a hoop or prop, reinforcing the carnival atmosphere.

    Executed in flat planes of paint, the brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with clean, well-defined edges that emphasise the crisp geometry of the design. The palette juxtaposes earthy tones with bright primaries, creating visual rhythm and balance.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well suited wood frame finished in a muted silver-grey tone with subtle golden highlights along the inner edge. The painting is in very good vintage condition, with only a small area of paint loss to the gold leaf of the frame.

  • Symphony of Trees

    Symphony of Trees

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and brilliantly executed modernist style landscape composition that presents a stylised woodland scene reimagined through bold abstraction, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    Tall, vertical shapes suggest stands of trees rising in rhythmic formations, their trunks and canopies broken into geometric planes of green, and pale yellow. Rounded forms in burnt orange and deep red punctuate the foreground, evoking foliage or sculptural boulders, while angular planes of mauve, lilac, and blue sweep across the ground to create shifting patches of shadow and light. In the distance, softened silhouettes of hills and sky fade into pale blues and lavender tones, balancing the composition with calm horizontality.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist has used flat, faceted brushstrokes and strong colour blocking to reduce the natural landscape into a dynamic interplay of shape, hue, and texture. The surface is rich with visible, deliberate brushwork, where each stroke contributes to the overall rhythm of the piece.

    This is a quintessential example of mid-century landscape abstraction, where the familiar forms of nature are transformed into a harmonious geometric composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

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

  • Quiet Street Corner

    Quiet Street Corner

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street corner, where a row of low, yellow facades with shopfront windows are nestled beneath steep red-brown rooftops, executed in oil onto board and dated 1969.

    Behind them, tall apartment blocks rise in muted yellow and cream, their flat walls punctuated by chimneys and rooflines silhouetted against a pale blue sky. The streets are empty, save for a lone streetlamp and utility box, lending the scene a still, almost cinematic quality.

    The style blends modernist simplification with a touch of naïve precision, reducing architectural forms to bold, geometric planes while retaining enough detail to suggest texture and age. Colours are earthy and atmospheric -browns, and muted yellows dominate, contrasted by the cool grey of the street and the soft blue above. The brushwork is deliberate and smooth in the larger planes, while finer strokes animate the rooftops and wall textures, giving the surfaces a gently worn, lived-in feel.

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

  • Autumn Meadow

    Autumn Meadow

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An energetic mid-century composition that captures a serene autumnal landscape with a bold, expressive hand, executed in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a textured grey-and-moss-green boulder anchors the scene beside the slender trunk of a tree, its bark rendered in rich browns and greens. Beyond, a sweep of pale golden grass opens into a stand of trees, their foliage glowing in autumnal shades, set against the deep forest green of distant conifers. The sky above is a tapestry of soft sage and buttery yellows, painted in horizontal strokes that evoke a gentle, crisp light.

    Executed in a post-impressionist style, the artist has used thick, confident brushstrokes laid in distinct, visible blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic energy and tactile depth. The harmonious yet vibrant palette conveys both the warmth of early autumn and the cool undertones of the season’s approach.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide wooden frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
