Green Apple with Glasses
£720
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 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.

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.

This oil on canvas board is mounted onto a complementary silver painted wood frame with an inner wood border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

Pathway to the Sea

Sold

SOLD

A sunlit mid-century modernist landscape composition that exudes calm, painted in oil onto canvas.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Blossoms & Fruit
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing and very pleasant mid-century modernist style still life that presents a luminous arrangement of flowers and fruit, executed in oil onto board.

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. Their rounded forms and warm tones create a pleasing counterbalance to the vertical elegance of the vase. A patterned drape in soft blue with warm rust-orange accents adds depth and a gentle theatricality to the composition.

The palette is harmonious and inviting: cool blues and greys contrasted with bright fruit tones and fresh greens. Brushstrokes are expressive but controlled, with soft blending in the background and more decisive, painterly marks in the flowers and fruit. The overall effect is one of warmth, vibrancy and quiet domestic charm – an appealing example of mid-century still-life painting that brings both colour and calm to any interior.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of wear to the inner frame as shown in the photos.

The Exchange
£475
Available

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.

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.

A charming mid-century landscape that captures a bright, leisurely day in a park, framed by two monumental trees that dominate the foreground, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rendered in a loose, impressionistic modernist style, the painting is filled with movement and atmosphere. The artist uses quick, gestural strokes to describe the swaying leaves, fluttering foliage, and gentle shifts of light.

Figure and Flowers
£505
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

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

Garden by the Water
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Golden Drift
£430
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Executed in an abstract, modernist style, the painting relies on suggestion rather than literal detail. Broad, confident brushstrokes move horizontally across the canvas, creating a sense of depth and natural flow.

Harbour Promenade
£430
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Sunlit Forms
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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
£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.

Houses by the Rolling Hills

Sold

SOLD

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. The result is a beautifully composed village scene that feels at once grounded and gently abstracted.

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

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.

Vivid Blossoms
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and expressive mid-century still life painting with wonderful texture, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition depicts two flowering plants in terracotta pots, their bold red blooms bursting with energy against a softly lit interior backdrop. The composition centres on the lush, elongated green leaves and radiant flowers, capturing the vitality of the plants as they lean and unfurl with natural dynamism.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century expressionist style, the painting embraces thick, confident impasto throughout. Generous, sculptural brushstrokes build up the surface, giving the petals and foliage a textured, almost tactile presence. 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.

Fading Horizon
£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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Size: 40 x 45 cm (including frame)

Patterns of a Summer Afternoon
£815
Available

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.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has light scuffing to the lower half but is otherwise in good condition.

Size: 69 x 56.5 cm (including frame)
