Moments Between Casts
£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.

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.

View Across the Lake
£475
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.

Branches in a Blue Vase
£895
Available

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.

Lemon & Fish
£605
Available

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.

Sunlit Village
£545
Available

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.

Cottage Beyond the Trees
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Lemon & Literature
£480
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

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.

Farmyard Geese
£70
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.

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.

Red Roosters
£75
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

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.

Sunlit Balcony
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and joyfully expressive mid-century painting that captures the view from a sunlit balcony overlooking a blue sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, terracotta pots overflowing with pink flowers rest upon a richly hued red-orange floor, while a delicately curved white wrought-iron chair invites the viewer to sit and take in the scene. Beyond the golden railing, a cluster of white sailboats glides gracefully across the deep indigo waters, with the warmth of a distant shoreline and a serene sky above completing this idyllic Mediterranean vista.

Painted in a bold, modernist style, the work features lively, gestural brushstrokes that build texture and movement throughout the composition. The artist’s palette brims with complementary contrasts – vivid reds and oranges against cooling blues and greens – evoking both warmth and breeze. The loose, painterly handling create a sense of spontaneity and immediacy, lending the piece a distinctly Fauvist energy and charm.

A delightful and uplifting coastal scene that radiates summer light and the carefree spirit of mid-century modern painting.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary simple wooden frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Fruit Tree
£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.

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.

Autumn Branch
£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.

Buds Against Blue I
£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.

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.

Wildflowers
£45
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Balancing simplicity and elegance, this piece captures the essence of 1970s modern folk art — a celebration of nature through stylised form and harmonious colour, evoking a quiet, nostalgic beauty that remains timeless.

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.

Size of each artwork: 59 x 51.5 cm (including frame)

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.

Hillside Houses
£1,055

A mid-century modernist painting presents a vibrant yet soothing interpretation of houses by a hillside, depicted in a bold, semi-abstract style, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition features clusters of houses with angular rooftops nestled among lush greenery, painted in deep blues, rich reds, and warm earth tones. The background sky is rendered in a muted, soft grey, allowing the vivid hues of the houses to stand out.

The artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes, giving the painting a dynamic, textured quality. The foliage appears sculpted through impasto techniques, while the simplified geometric forms of the buildings lend a sense of structure amidst the organic movement of the landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small area of paint loss but is in good condition overall.

Memory of a Landscape

Sold

SOLD

A bold and abstract mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board.

This painting is composed of large, solid blocks of colour and thick, expressive brushstrokes. While not realistic, it suggests a natural scene, perhaps a sunset or sunrise over hills or a valley.

The upper half of the canvas is dominated by a clear, bright blue that could represent the sky. 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.

Size: 41 x 48 cm (including frame)

Under the Sea
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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 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.

Yellow Posies
£50
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Daylilies in Sunlight
£695
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bright and serene mid-century still life that captures a cluster of orange daylilies basking in sunlight, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

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.

Rendered with thick, expressive brushstrokes, the work feels both spontaneous and deeply considered. It invites the viewer not only to look but to feel the warmth of the sun and the peaceful rhythm of a day slowly unfolding.

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

Silver Moon Folktale
£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.

Poppy
£40
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

The overall effect is serene and timeless — a study in restraint and harmony. Each woven thread contributes to the tapestry’s handmade charm, where simplicity of form and richness of texture coexist beautifully.

This work encapsulates the spirit of 1970s Nordic design: nature-inspired, soulful, and crafted with a deep respect for the tactile poetry of the woven medium.

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.

Variegated Poppy
£40
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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 vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto 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.

Jars & Blue Plate
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century still life captures a quiet, everyday arrangement of two earthenware jars, a cobalt-blue plate, and a few scattered lemons upon a sunlit tabletop, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artist’s confident use of impasto brushwork brings the scene to life – thick, textural strokes of paint that reveal the artist’s hand in every movement.

The palette is warm and expressive, balancing earthy yellows, terracottas, and muted greens with the striking contrast of the luminous blue plate that commands the centre of the composition. The interplay of these tones gives the piece both harmony and energy, while the textured surface adds a tactile, sculptural quality.

Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the forms are simplified and the focus is placed on colour relationships and surface texture rather than precise realism. The work evokes the quiet beauty of domestic life, elevated through a painter’s expressive eye.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple light wooden frame that complements its rustic aesthetic. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 57 x 68.5 cm (including frame)
