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.

RARE PAIR OF BRONZE SCULPTURES "SERENADERS"

Signed "E.B. Parsons" and impressed "Gorham Founders"
One sculpture retaining original card from Kennedy Galleries
Item # 1407ZOG31A


This is an exceptional pair of investment grade bronze sculptures from Edith Parsons, the pair titled "Serenaders" and one retaining the original label from their purchase at the Kennedy Galleries in New York.  Both are signed by the artist along the edge and impressed at the back "Gorham Founders", one with "OGBJ" and the other with "OGBK".  The undersides are filled with plaster.  They remain in positively pristine condition with only the most minor patina wear.  These are a very fine acquisition for serious collectors.

Measurements:  [running dog] 6 3/4" L x 2 9/16" D x 4 3/4" H; [howling dog] 6 5/8" L x 2 1/2" D x 6 1/2" H

Condition Report:
Exceptional original condition.  One bronze missing felt from bottom - the other retains original label from Kennedy Galleries.  Both with very minor patina wear.
