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.

CARVED AND POLYCHROMED WOOD STATUE OF CHRIST
Probably Italian, 18th century

Wood, pigment

24 1/2" high x 5 1/2" wide x 5" deep (62.2 x 14 x 12.7 cm)

A carved wooden figure of Christ crucified, his head inclined toward his right shoulder beneath a crown of thorns. The slender, elongated body is rendered with finely enlivened anatomical detail not only in his face, but also in the careful expression of his bones throughout as they project through the tightened skin. The perizonium is gathered at the hips in deeply carved folds with remnants of an earlier striped polychrome finish, with areas of exposed wood and a richly aged patina.

Condition: Heavily distressed surface with losses. Traces of original polychromy to the perizonium, much of the surface largely blackened from time and exposure.
