About Vintage Art Cellar

Vintage Art Cellar is run from rural Suffolk by Corryn, our founder and curator. I search auction houses and markets across Sweden and Europe for original mid-century paintings, each one chosen for its colour, texture, mood and story.

Every piece is one-of-a-kind, described honestly and packed with care. Once a painting finds its new home, it is gone.
