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 RARE DAN JOHNSON FOR SHELBY WILLIAMS CAST ALUMINUM AND WALNUT SWIVEL-BACK ARM CHAIR
Manufactured by Crucible, retaining original label to underside; circa 1960s
Item # 011FPA11K-2

Built to last an eternity, this cast aluminum chair was designed by Dan Johnson for Shelby Williams and still retains the original manufacturer tag from Crucible Products. It retains the original light blue leatherette, which though worn still remains in serviceable condition. The chair is incredibly comfortable, particularly due to the sprung swivel-back design that conforms to the position of your back. The cast aluminum frame is softened with oiled walnut arm rests; the interior edges are blackened and contrast beautifully against a higher polish outer surface.

We may still have two other matching chairs available in the shop - view our inventory or contact us for details.


Measurements: 30 3/4" H x 24 7/8" W x 23 1/4" D; 18 5/8" H to seat

Condition Report:
Leatherette in used vintage condition with edge wear, some ticking to the seat and chair back and very minor discolorations to material. Some loss of paint on aluminum. Swivel springs replace and work beautifully, a very comfortable chair.
