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.

EDUARD FISCHER (BERLIN, 1852-1905) SEASCAPE PAINTING
In oil on canvas, Signed lower right "Ed. Fischer '84"
Item # 611ZWG03A


An absolutely gorgeous presentation piece, this stunning seascape captures a view along the beach in the afternoon after fishing vessels have been brought onshore.  A mother strolls along with her child in hand past a small hut where a man hunches beside a smoky fire; figures are congregated on the shore in the distance and a few thatched huts can be seen past the boats.  The distinct influence of the Barbizon school can be seen in the gloomy palette and traces of impressionism that perfectly capture the mood of the moment.  The cold blue waters crash over tumbled rocks lining the beach under a cloudy sky.  The painting is signed in the lower right corner Ed. Fischer and dated '84.  We have recently had this work fully restored by our conservator and it is preserved in outstanding overall condition..
