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.

LOUIS XV PROVINCIAL CHERRYWOOD MARBLE-TOP CENTER TABLE
France, circa last quarter of the 18th century
Item # 111XPY03A 

A fine center table characterized by a veined rose-and-beige thumb-molded marble top projecting over an undulating "Cupid's Bow" apron locked with pegged tenon-mortise joints into the cabriole legs terminating in scrolled toes. The crossed stretcher is carved with a floral bas-relief motif in the center and locks the legs firmly together while visually balancing the proportions of the table.


Measurements: 27 1/2" H x 23 5/8" D x 33" W

Condition Report:
Old refinished surface with a nice overall silky patina. Scars and blemishes throughout as expected. Vertical shrinkage crack in one leg, not in any way destabilizing; other small shrinkage cracks. Crossed medial support and associated blocking beneath top is a 20th century addition for strength. Due to shifting in the joints over the centuries, the top does not sit perfectly flat and a felt pad was added over one leg to account for this. Marble in very good condition.
