Information

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 FIGURAL BRONZE PAPERWEIGHTS OVER CARARRA MARBLE BASES
Circa early 19th century; models of "Il Porcellino" and "Wounded Stag"
Item # C104009 

A superb pair of 19th century paperweights featuring sand-cast figural sculptures after the ancient works of Il Porcellino (The Wild Boar) and Wounded Stag. Both are very finely cast in light of their petite dimensions with crisp chiseling and finishing of the details throughout, each finished in a brown and black chemical patination and sealed under wax. They are situated over original carrara marble bases with gilt beading around the upper edge.


Measurements: 4 5/8" H x 3" D x 5 3/4" W [stag, overall]; 4 1/2" H x 3" D x 5 3/4" W [boar, overall]

Condition Report:
Light chipping to edges of the marble; stains and discolorations to the marble. Minor handling wear. Overall very fine presentations.
