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.

EXCEPTIONAL LOUIS XV CARVED GILTWOOD MARBLE TOP CENTER TABLE
Paris, circa 1880; s
igned in script "E. Delmas" on leg, ink stamping inside frame M.D. 612
Item # 706QTX25Z 


Of inordinately fine quality and presence, this exceptional Parisian center table is a powerful example of the exuberance for early designs during the Belle E’poque.  It is ceaselessly ornamented with a latticework ground and furls of acanthus with the occasional floral relief along the scrolling apron.  Distinctly rocaille in inspiration, the knees, apron focal points and center of the stretchers are all loose interpretations of lobed shells with opposing C-scrolls.  It is an example of perfect balance and flawless proportion.  The thick rouge marble top is molded around the edges and conforms with the complex frame profile; beneath the marble in the top of one leg is a crisp scratched signature reading E. Delmas.

For the collector of the finest in Parisian furnishings, this is a superior investment grade example.

Measurements:  49” W x 30 1/8” D x 30 3/8” H

Condition Report:
Old age cracks in gesso, mostly in the stretchers.  Areas of inpainting/regilding, chipping to the rocaille carvings and other minor chipping, gilt losses.
