silla | antiques & works of art

Welcome to our gallery!
Established in 2009, silla has long been an important destination for 19th century sculpture and outstanding furniture of all periods. Owned by Andrew and Grace Silla and operated together with their small staff in the historic downtown of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, our 9,000 square foot gallery is open by appointment to view our wide-ranging inventory of sculpture, furniture, fine paintings and objects of art.

Every object is selected with great care, researched in detail to ensure an exacting authenticity in our assessment and catalog text, photographed in exhaustive detail and thoughtfully packed in-house for safe delivery.

While almost every item in the gallery is owned by the gallery, we see ourselves only as stewards of these objects, caretakers for a brief moment along a continuum that hopefully extends for centuries into the future. This is a role we take very seriously and great consideration is taken to guarantee a flawless receipt of your new acquisition.

Your purchase is accompanied by full paperwork including a descriptive sales invoice, a photograph of the work and the catalogue text so that you can be a proper caretaker for the next leg of the journey.

We look forward to hearing from you as you discover that special piece!
