Full of personality and playful charm, The Modern Table is a wonderfully expressive vintage still life painting with a fabulous mid-century feel.
Featuring a striking green jug, a slender glass and a fruit bowl, this colourful composition brings everyday objects to life through bold black outlines, quirky shapes and confident brushstrokes. Fresh greens, soft blues and little pops of orange create a lovely balance of colour, giving the painting a lively yet effortlessly stylish feel.
The painting has a wonderful Cubist-inspired character, with its abstract shapes and interesting perspectives. It's beautifully presented in a cream-painted vintage frame with a wide, textured linen-effect surround, adding even more retro charm.

Caring for Your Vintage Artwork
Original vintage paintings have already enjoyed a life of their own, and with a little thoughtful care, they can continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.
Choose the right spot
Display your artwork away from direct sunlight, radiators and other sources of heat. Avoid damp spaces or areas with significant changes in temperature or humidity, as these can affect older paintings, paper and frames over time.
Dust with care
Gently dust frames using a clean, soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid household cleaning sprays, polishes and abrasive materials. For paintings without glass, it's best not to touch or wipe the painted surface, particularly where the paint is textured or delicate.
Take care with glass
For glazed artwork, use a soft microfibre cloth to clean the glass. If needed, apply a small amount of suitable glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying it directly onto the artwork, taking care to keep moisture away from the frame and edges.
Hang securely
Use suitable picture hooks and fixings for the weight of your artwork and the type of wall. As vintage frames and hanging fittings can show signs of age, we recommend checking them before hanging and periodically thereafter.
Embrace its character
Small signs of age are part of the charm of original vintage art. Gentle wear, patina and imperfections often tell the story of a piece and are part of what makes each artwork so individual.
With these simple precautions, your vintage artwork can remain a much-loved part of your home for years to come.
