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.

ALBERT MELVILLE GRAVES
American, 1862-1950

"Camel with Alfalfa at Souq al Jum'aa - Tripoli"

Oil on panel | signed lower right "A M GRAVES" | reverse of panel titled, signed by artist and illegibly stamped

12" H x 13 3/4" W x 1 7/16" D [frame]
5 7/16" H x 7 1/16" W [panel]

A bright and cheery depiction of the Souq al Jum'aa in Tripoli, it features camels loaded down with goods and alfalfa at the forefront while figures look on. Housed in a fabulous giltwood frame.

Condition: Hairline crack in the panel horizontally roughly down the center. A lovely modern frame. Under ultraviolet examination, touch up to the camel's neck, possible flaring in the foliage overhead, some rubbing to the edges where the frame abrades. Minor wear to the frame.
