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.

FRENCH LOUIS XVI KINGWOOD WRITING TABLE A ROGNON
Circa 19th century
Item # 803NCR07 


A very fine 19th century French vide poche, the table remains in pristine original condition throughout.  The top is a rognon, being of kidney form to allow a writer to easily pull up to the table.  Intricately veneered with a marquetry display of flowers sprouting from a simple bouquet arranged in a perfect circle surrounded by parquetry tiles and framed by a brass border, the body of the table is veneered in a golden kingwood.  A single drawer with tiny precise handcut dovetails pulls easily from the table to reveal a fitted drawer for pens and ink.  The scrolled and pierced legs curve beautifully to terminate in tiny brass castors.  It is remarkable that a table of this delicate structure has remained in such excellent condition.

Measurements:  34 7/8 W x 18 1/2 D (at feet) x 29 3/8 H

Condition Report:
Minor veneer chips and scuffs, light edge wear.  Excellent original condition.
