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.

"A FOREST PATHWAY" BY HAL ROBINSON (1875-1933)
In oil on canvas, signed lower left "Hal Robinson"
Item # 1402MLW09PZ


A soft blend of sepia pigments against maroons and creams beneath a violet highlighted sky, this work composes a seamless harmony of tones and light refraction along a lightly forested pathway, the churning tones of a serpentine stream visible in the distance. Despite it's obvious impressionistic influences, the level of detail is quite notable, each branch and hue of foliage pigment crisply detailed in his bold and distinctive brush strokes. It evokes an emotional response to what could be a simple landscape in the hands of a lesser artist, capturing the essence of an undisturbed woods of untamed naturalism, the roots and foliage sprawling chaotically as a simple roughed path meanders along.

Measurements: [frame] 38 1/8" x 33 1/8"; [canvas] 30" x 25"
