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.

JAMES CLARK AND JAMES ALBERT CLARK (BRITISH, 1863-1955)
Signed lower left “James Clark & Son, 21 Walbrook St, New North Road N, in oil on canvas
Item # 807ZXG21A

A very fine painting of a show horse with a cropped tail and proud stance in a carefully detailed stable setting.  The navy blanket is monogrammed personally "T.K. A.P.” and the edges highlighted in red, resting over a wall mounted water trough.  The floor is layered in fresh and brilliantly depicted hay with a complex array of shadows cascading through the tidy space.  It is executed in oil on canvas and we have had it beautifully cleaned and conserved; it is housed in an early gilt frame with glass protecting the canvas.  The lower right corner is signed "James Clark & Son, 21 Walbrook St, New North Road, N"

Measurements:  22 3/4 H x 26 7/8 W x 1 7/8 D [frame]

Condition Report:
Professionally conserved.  Early frame, perhaps original; wear and loss to frame elements and loss to gilding.  Light craquelure to surface throughout, areas of light inpainting around edges; minor edge losses where frame rubs.
