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.

EBONIZED OAK BOOKCASE BY JOHANNES SORTH FOR NEXO MØBELFABRIK
Unmarked, a known design | serial marked to the reverse "No. 332 59" and dated 26 November 1965
Item # 304GUY27P-2

A sleek and very attractive example of Johannes Sorth's adjustable bookcase executed in ebonized oak and oak veneers. Designed with five shelf spaces, the middle being fixed and the others adjustable. Raised over turned and tapered legs. A very nice profile.

*Note, we may still have available in our inventory a nearly matched example if a pair is needed - the matched example has a straight edge to all shelving while this example has bevelled edging to all shelving.


Measurements: 71 5/8" H x 11 1/8" D x 39 5/8" W

Condition Report:
Minor use indicators as expected: tiny nicks and light scratches to the sides including some impressions in the lower right corner of the left side, several minor veneer losses at back edges of the sides and to the edge of the highest shelf, other minor dings/abrasions from use; small hole drilled in the back for cords; all abrasions and veneer losses have been re-colored to reduce visibility; a very nice presentation.
