The painting has a textured matte finish which gives the painting a great tactility.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous mid century frame which has has an outer and inner light brown wood border, as well as an inner section in cream. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

This calming mid 20th century oil on canvas depicts a scene of a Spanish village with a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in the foreground.
It is the break of dawn, and the lady has just completed her first round of transporting the freshly harvested crops from the highlands down to village below.
Despite the hardships of her livelihood having to balance a heavy load on her head through rough terrains, her upright posture with her hands on her hips exudes strength and pride, and an impressive sense of balance.
This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Tage Gavik (1914-1981); who has used distinct brushstrokes and contrasting earthy colours to give rise to the various forms in this painting.
In good vintage condition, and comes unframed.

A striking and typically ‘mid century modern’ oil painting on canvas, painted around the 1960s. Bold, rich colours fill the canvas with lines and patterns, both straight and curved. Although an abstracted picture on the whole, we are just able to discern a harbour scene, with a line of boats docked one next to the other. The masts and sails are what form the majority of this composition – the artist has taken advantage the different shapes and patters formed by the masts and sails to create a painting with a largely modernist ethos, focusing on innovation and experimentation with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction.
The painting is housed in a gold painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs to the edges which are typical for its age.

A mid century oil painted in a modernist style onto canvas. Expressive, multidirectional brushstrokes make up this striking composition in a cool toned palette of blues and greens. Standing on higher ground looking out, we see the tops of the houses and trees in the dip of the landscape, before it opens out to the sea. The angular outlines of the houses juxtapose against the free form of the expressive brushwork.
The painting is housed in a silvery frame with red undertones and an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A stunningly executed panoramic landscape painted in oil onto canvas.

The horizontal length of this painting enhances the panoramic view, transporting our mind away to a bright summer day in the countryside.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous vintage gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some minor scuffs to the edges of the frame which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

A large oil on board depicting a modernist take on a winter landscape, painted in 1946. Small and distinct blocks of paint have been applied in a restrained colour palette, creating this semi abstract composition. The artist has successfully and skilfully captured the ‘feel’ of the expansive wintery landscape – there is a palpable sense of the cold, crisp air and the stillness and quiet of the landscape that has been covered in snow.
This large painting is housed in a distressed off while and grey frame which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very finely executed oil of a waterfront promenade in Stockholm. Painted in an impressionist manner, the artist has used a wonderful palette of cool blues and yellows to render this seascape. In the forefront a figure seats reading the paper – a simple, sensitive detail that sets the entire mood of the painting. An air of calm and tranquillity pervades this painting, created by a combination of the gentle brushwork, the colour palette, as well as the subject matter.
The painting is housed in an light grey wood frame with a tint of gold, and an off white inner wood slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A simple yet effective composition of a potted plant painted in oil onto canvas. The artist has created a wonderfully textured background through areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) adding depth and complexity to the painting. The plant has been painted in varying shades of green and blue, with bold black outlines that make it stand out from the light background and the ice blue and grey pot.
The painting is housed in gold painted wood frame, which illuminates the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

An energetic and picturesque oil painting of a coastal scape, executed in a semi-abstract manner.
Featuring the endless ocean and sky, as well as a coastal cliff full of lush greenery, this work explores not only the beauty of nature, and also of colour, line and emotion.
With a vibrant colour palette comprising shades of blue, green and tan, together with the swift and sweeping brushstrokes that have been so confidently executed, the artist has used the expressive possibilities of colour and line to convey the sublime experience in nature.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary vintage gilt frame with an inner white border. The frame has some marks and scuffs, which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

A fantastic semi-abstract modernist oil painted onto canvas. We see here a black silhouette of a figure, set against an abstracted background. The artist has played with shape, form and colour, juxtaposing the rounded curves of the dark figure with the more formal geometric angles of the lighter background. The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.
This striking painting is in fine vintage condition. There are some areas of paint loss and craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. It is housed in a mid century cream frame with an inner fabric lined border, that has some marks and scuffs.

A very large and elegant seascape in oil, painted onto canvas. A warm, golden hue blankets this oil painting, imbuing it with a palpably calming, soothing effect. This skilfully executed seascape features a soft colour palette, which when viewed closely reveals a complexity in its colour blending. The artist has captured the light of the evening sun, when the sky boasts pastel hues of pink, orange, yellow and blue. Below this large expansive sky, we see a boat docked by 3 warehouses that echo the colours of the subtle evening light. The large size of the painting accentuates the panoramic effect of the seascape and would make for a wonderful resting point for tired eyes.
The painting is housed in an equally elegant large gilt frame which illuminates the painting further. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 63 x 93cm (including frame)

A visually striking abstract oil painting, executed in 1968.
The artwork is composed of different blocks of colours painted in a restrained palette of blue, grey, black and yellow.

A fantastic mid century oil featuring four women lined side by side one another.
Depicting just their silhouettes, the women resemble one another in the way they look and are dressed; and the work sparks viewer’s imagination, evoking a sense of mystery.

Confident, expressionist brushstrokes in saturated colours and bold outlines depict this pensive picture of two figures standing at a railway crossing. We witness here an artist seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, mustard and white, while skilfully combining these extremes without losing harmony within the picture. Within this almost ‘dirty’ palette, the artist and his energy comes through wonderfully.
The painting is housed in a distressed silver-grey wood frame with a deep profile, complementing the painting perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor areas of paint loss around the edges (as shown in photos) but because it is of a ‘distressed’ style these imperfections certainly do not harm the overall look of the framed picture.

A modernist take on a city landscape featuring flat planes of colour and distinct outlines. Geometric shapes and forms in contrasting colour create depth, while retaining a tendency to abstraction. A combination of a pastel palette, a focus on form, and a matte surface texture in thin layers of oil emphasise a focus on materials, techniques and processes. The subject matter too is very much a modernist one, with a focus on modern industrial life, which at the time of this painting being painted would have been a new and innovative concept.
This oil painting is housed in a robust distressed gilt frame with a white inner border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A beautifully gentle woodland landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas. Tall slender trees in contrasting shades of dark green and amber make up the main composition, yet the artist has made sure not to overcrowd the picture. A soft light falls washes over the painting, creating a warmth that seems to emanate from it. The spaces between the slender trees allow us to see both into the distance, as well as down to the forest floor, where the artist has used an array of colours in a cooler palette to convey a sense of depth. Working in short, soft brushstrokes, the artist has created both areas of flatter well blended colour as well as areas of textured impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud from the surface).
The painting is housed in a light cream and grey wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic life drawing in oil, painted on canvas which has then been laid down to board. The artist has managed to capture the complexity of the human body, while keeping to the impressionist style. The curves, lines, and subtle undulations of the female model, as well as her weight, balance and tension have been conveyed through the use of brush and colour.
This well balanced, vertical composition has been framed beautifully in a silver wood frame. There is some very light craquelure to the figure’s upper torso, but the paint layer is very stable overall. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

There is a concerted focus on the effects of the natural light on the water, trees, and sky in this painting. The artist shows off his skill and ability – somehow creating a palpable crispness, despite the loose brushwork. There is an overriding sense that here is a painting that is to be experienced, and not just looked at.
The artwork is housed in a deep light brown painted wood frame. Painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor marks and discolouration commensurate for its age, but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

A striking yet homely still life in oil, painted in a modernist manner. Bold and distinct brushstrokes, strong outlines and lots of texture make up this wonderful composition. Thick, creamy layers of oil paint have been applied generously by the artist, giving this painting a real tactility. There is a sense of harmony and balance within the picture – the triangular composition lead our eyes around the picture, each object worthy of attention, set against a rusty green background. The red apple to the bottom left of the flower pot adds a lovely punctuation to the overall picture.
The oil on board is in excellent condition. There are two small nicks to the frame (the top left and the far bottom right corner) but this is typical for an original frame of this age, and does not detract from the beauty of the piece.

Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.

This stunning abstract in oil is an excellent example of how simplicity can be beautiful. Splitting the composition horizontally into three separate sections (four if you look closely), the artist has captured the serene panoramic landscape of the ocean and sky. Perhaps you see something entirely different, but that is the beauty of the abstract. Regardless of whether you draw a connection to landscape or seascape or anything else for that matter, it is the qualities of colour here that is of importance. The lower section of cobalt blue draws our eyes in immediately, soaking us up in its richness. As we move our eyes upwards, strokes of darker greys and blacks guide us up into the lighter section of the painting, where sweeping strokes of soft pastel blues and greys carry us and our minds away into somewhere clear and calm.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous light grey frame that has a inner gilt and linen border that really makes the illuminates the painting.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and nicks to the outermost edges upon close inspection, but they are quite minor and certainly do not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

A bright and playful naïve composition in oil that captured our hearts instantly. Painted in 1984, there is a childlike quality and sincerity to this oil that has been achieved through the use of flattened perspective, thin detailed strokes, as well as a vibrant colour palette. Here a florist stands in the foreground arranging her bouquet, surrounded by beautiful buckets of flowers, as her assistant attends to an interested customer in the background. A row of colourful townhouses and the village hall line the top edge of the canvas, providing a sense of depth and space. The entire picture has been set against a lime green background, which brings the whole piece to life.
This oil is housed in a simple and modern white frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A lusciously painted floral still life arrangement of cut flowers in a striking azure blue vase. Areas of creamy and smooth paint contrast beautifully with other areas where the paint has been more coarsely applied – delicate petals and leaves stand out against the rugged rust coloured background. The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife.
The oil painting is housed in a painted grey and white frame, which complements and brightens the painted picture. Frame and painting are both in excellent vintage condition.

An outstanding impressionist style coastal scape featuring huts lined in the middle of a river, and dated 1973.
People in boats are returning back to the marsh ashore, as clouds fill the overcast sky, foreshadowing a storm.
The painting explores the powerful force and beauty of nature – evident through the use of strong, expressive and rhythmic brushstrokes – that wonderfully captures the energy of the wind over the rippling waters.
It is composed with a restrained earthy colour palette comprising shades of grey, brown and white – which sets an overall somber tone to the work.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a stunning grainy wood frame, with multiple gilt windows and an inner linen lining. There frame has some areas of wear (as shown in the images)
