A wonderfully expressive mid century oil on canvas, depicting a lush wooded landscape.
Bold, painterly brushstrokes capture the effects of the elements on the landscape – we get a sense of a light wind blowing through the trees, their branches swaying side to side, the leaves rustling as they go. The artist has used rich, vivid colours to capture the array of hues and shades of the woods. A lighter palette ahs been used for the top half of the picture, where the tree canopy is more exposed to the light of the sky. As we move further down the picture, a deeper, darker, earthier palette has been used to depict lush depths of the woods and the forest floor.
This oil painting is housed in a wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A large emotive and powerful acrylic on board, painted in 1975.
Abstract in nature, the painting focuses our attention on non-objective artistic elements such as colour, line, shape and form.
Executed in bold primary colours of blue, red and yellow, expressive lines and geometric shapes interlink with one another to define this space on the canvas and form an aesthetically striking and well-balanced pattern.
As the work does not represent visual reality, the artist has instead used the respective elements to emphasise his inner feelings and emotion. With its saturated colours and dynamic forms that add a highly energetic feel as well as being close to a meter in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.
This acrylic on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original wood frame that has some marks and scuffs (as shown in the images)

A rich and earthy mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas, and framed in a very complementary gilt frame.
Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the canvas to create this almost abstract landscape scene. There are elements of this painting that are very much reminiscent of the Modernist painter Paul Cezanne. Although this piece has moved closer towards abstraction, it carries the similar traits of repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes that Cezanne had in his pictures. Here the artist has also used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. There is also great vigour and energy in this painting.
It is housed in a simple gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs mainly to the lower section. There is some wear to the bottom edge of the frame.

Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a mother with a bowl, feeding a baby girl.
A depiction of the wonderful (albeit sometimes frustrating) everyday scene of feeding a young child, which is familiar to anyone who has had a young baby. A mother sits close to her child, with the bowl of food set out and her baby in front of her.
The artist has captured this everyday scene beautifully, using a vivid and bold colour palette, and incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality. The features of the figures have been left out, focusing instead on the shape and form of the figures and the bowl, giving this painting a timelessness, which coincides beautifully with the ‘timelessness’ of raising children and all that comes with it.
The painting is housed in its original mid century deep profile frame, with an outer wood section and a protruding gilt window. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall appeal. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

An expressive and lively oil painting featuring a street scene in a bustling neighbourhood. In the foreground, cars and pedestrians line the pavement, and rows of colourful buildings sit in the background.
The artist has painted in a modernist style, using geometric blocks, bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to paint this detailed composition.
A playful selection of lively colours that harmonise so well together have been used to form this composition; and the energetic and painterly brushstrokes add dynamism and a light tactility to the painting.
This oil on board is housed in a robust gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A semi-abstract mid century geometric painting in oil, dated 1954.
Here the artist has captured an industrial marine structure, the pontoon crane. The artist has flattened the composition into sections of flat coloured planes, as well as dark angular lines. Through the use of these geometric shapes and lines, the artist has conveyed the ‘industrial’ sense of the scene through these formal qualities, rather than through a realistic depiction of the crane, pontoon and harbour buildings. This is very much a modernist ethos, where artists painting in this period were incorporating the aesthetic of the ‘machine’ and other industrialist activities into their art.
This oil painting is housed in a robust solid wood frame, which suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The oak frame has some general scuffing and a small indent to the left and right edges (as seen in photos) but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.
Size: 39 x 58 cm (including frame)

A striking abstract figure painted in pastel tones in oil. Soft muted hues contrast starkly against the distinct sharp black outlines. The style of this figure is reminiscent of the figurative works by the well known Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele whose works like this one, were often contorted, abstracted, unapologetic and emotionally charged.
The painted is housed in a cream coloured wood frame and a white card mount. The frame has some general scuffing, but is in keeping with the general ‘rough and raw’ look of the portrait. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed medium sized abstract composition, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1958. A bold and rich colour palette of deep greens, greys and black are accentuated by yellow and white, giving this picture its depth and intensity. Rhythmic circular brushstrokes are juxtaposed against more angular and formal shapes, encouraging our eyes to move in and around the picture and back again. The artist has filled the canvas with an array of textures – we see smooth brushwork, as well as thicker areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. There are also areas where the artist has dabbed the brush repeatedly, creating small ripples in the paint. Despite the range of colours, shapes and brushwork, there is a beautiful rhythm within the picture, and a very satisfying harmony in its composition.
The painting is housed in a very elegant smooth champagne gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame.

A flourishing and captivating mid century Swedish still life artwork, painted in oil onto board.
Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple yet effective composition of two plants in terracotta pots, sitting quietly against a restrained background.
The muted earthy colour palette including shades of green and blue create a wonderful sense of harmony and balance within the picture, and also enriching the work with softness and a calming effect.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame and is in overall very good vintage condition. There is a small stain just by the leaf on the left pot as well as some minor marks on the frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A very well executed mid century cubist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.
Reminiscent of works by cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso, this painting has broken the figure and her instrument down into distinct planes, aiming to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space and so suggest their three dimensional form. In doing so, this artist has emphasised the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.
The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and marks.

A beautiful mid century modern gouache portrait, painted in 1959 and framed behind glass.
This small but very well executed painting depicts a seated man, mending a net. There is a quiet sense of calm to this piece – the man sits casually on a simple box, focused on mending his net which he has propped on knee. There is something wholesome and comfortable about the scene, which the artist has captured beautifully.
The artist has painted this in a typically modernist style, focusing on the forms and colours of the scene rather than realistic details. The sitters surroundings are undiscernible, drawing our attention instead toward the form of the man and his net, the geometric lines of the box, the patterns and colours of his clothes.
This gouache on paper is framed in its original wood frame, and is set behind glass. The gouache is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks and scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A very expressive but restful landscape scene in oil, painted in 1977.
This piece is excellently executed, with skilful blending of post impressionist colour to create this landscape composition. Creamy, textured areas of paint have been layered and blended, encouraging our eyes to dance around the canvas and soak up the painterly details. The subject of the composition is wonderful to rest tired eyes on – a tree lined path in the rural countryside leads into the horizon, with clear skies up above. There is a sense that the artist might have been painting ‘en plein air’, capturing an emotional response to the landscape, as opposed to realistically depicting it.
The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with an inner gilt window that really brings out its colours. The painting would make a fabulous statement piece in a living room or bedroom. The painting is in very good condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

An absolutely delightful mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted on to canvas. This seemingly simple yet very effective composition depicts figures on a beach. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork to capture the figures. There is a softness, and a tender-heartedness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very minimalist palette, the artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.
Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very well executed mid century townscape painted in oil onto board.
The artist has eliminated all details and has reduced the forms of the buildings down into simple yet very effective planes of colour. Although the application of colour appears to be casual and loose at first glance, further observation reveals that this composition has indeed been very carefully and thoughtfully structured and put together. Loose strokes of vertical and horizontal planes of colour come together seamlessly to create this town view.
The painting is housed in its gorgeous mid century frame, which has a really lovely woven border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A mid century Swedish landscape oil, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used bold, sweeping brushstrokes in the lower half of the picture, with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface), in rich earthy colours. This is juxtaposed with the softer, more delicate strokes he has used for the trees in the upper half of the picture, which skilfully conveys the movement of the leaves in the wind. A group of farm dwellings sit in the centre of the picture, balancing the overall composition. The artist has used the medium of oil to successfully convey the raw, weathered textures of the rural buildings. The subtle, earthy colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.
The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully energetic and eclectic oil painting of a street scene, painted in a Naïve style.
A well dressed couple with interesting expressions on their faces stand waiting along the pathway with a row of quaint and colourful houses behind them. A black taxi is seen bumbling its way down the road, presumably to pick the couple up.
The artist has consciously chosen to eliminate realistic proportions as exemplified in reality – enlarging the scale of the 2 figures in comparison to their surroundings. The vibrant colour palette as well as the swift and expressive brushstrokes used imbue the painting with a lively playfulness.
This oil on board is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame with an inner linen lining, with some very minor scuffs that are only visible upon close inspection.

A striking expressionist mid century landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
Using a lively palette comprising shades of yellow, white, grey and touches of pink and green, the artist has used short and painterly brushstrokes to create this uplifting yet relaxing composition. A fence is depicted running through lush yellow fields, with a gate opening in the middle of the landscape.
Upon having a close-up look at the painting, one can notice the artist’s display of painterly skills – as he wonderfully layers colours upon one another to create this outstanding and lightly textured composition.
This oil on canvas painting is housed in a simple white painted wood frame, which suits it very well and gives it a slightly more contemporary edge. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition

A striking and lightly textured abstract oil painting, that has been reduced down to block of colours and expressive brushstrokes.
Layers of horizontal planes of saturated colours fill the canvas, and this pattern instils a sense of orderliness in the painting.
The artist has used a lively palette, and the plethora of colours used shift between shades so harmoniously. At the top of the painting, we see planes of varying shades of blues. As we look further down, darker shades of browns and reds fill the bottom left of the work whereas yellows and orange sit at the bottom right of the work.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame. There are very minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age), but the painting is in very good vintage condition overall.

A wonderfully simple yet very effective composition, executed in oil in 1947. The artist has painted a scene of a figure lying in bed, but has paired it down to large swathes of colour and broad brushstrokes. For example, the artist has painted the figure’s head with three simple strokes in non-realistic colours. Leaving out any realistic detail, the artist uses contrasting colour very effectively, even allowing parts of the canvas to show through. The combination of minimal use of paint and effective technical skill allows us to really take in and enjoy all the discernible details while having a timelessness that enables this picture to suit many interior settings.

A row of objects including 2 lemons and 2 bottles are lined on a window sill. The windows are depicted wide open, overseeing a panoramic view of buildings as well as the blue ocean and sky that lay beyond in the horizon.
The objects and buildings have been defined by dark thin outlines, drawing our attention to their individual forms and shape.
