About us

silla was born out of a passion for beautiful objects: special pieces with aesthetic and historical significance. In 2009, after years of collecting, Andrew Silla and his wife Grace began to work privately with clients from their residence in Southern Maryland. Quickly outgrowing the space, the business was moved from Maryland to Pennsylvania in 2012 and after several warehouse location changes it was firmly settled in the present brick-and-mortar location in downtown Shippensburg.

The 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery is home to a large collection of works of art and estate jewelry. We specialize in sculpture circa 1860 through 1930 with a particular emphasis on the Animaliers and as such the gallery always has a very large collection of exceptional European and American sculpture available on display.

PAIR OF REGENCY BRASS TOLE PAINTED CACHE POTS
Likely English, circa 1st quarter of 19th century
Item # C103207


The gilt stylizing over an ebony ground of these jardinière is expertly treated, the gentle incised guidelines still visible beneath the thin gilded rays.  Likely a product from the English market circa the first quarter of the 19th century, the attractive form developed in the brass frame simulates bamboo with four legs that terminate over simple ball feet.  They are of delightful dimension and a quite rare find.

Measurements:  12 3/4 W/D (at feet), 10 3/8 diameter (at top), 10 1/4 H

Condition Report:
A few small dents, scuffs and scratches to early painted surface; we have not examined the paint under UV for restorations.  Age appropriate pitting to surface of the brass.
