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 WROUGHT IRON ARRAS PLANTER STAND OR JARDINIERRE
Circa late 19th/early 20th century, with a zinc insert

36" H x 45" W x 17" D

An iconic form from the late 19th/early 20th century typically associated with Arras, France, this example features a fabulous swirling form in the wrought iron that is highly organic and naturalistic. It replicates what is found in the garden with elements freely flowing, the tendrils of iron even reaching up and through the zinc planter in delicate furls. The surface is so compelling: rich greens, rust hues and dark earthy browns.

Condition: Good condition. Lovely all-over surface patina. Sturdy and stable. Tarnish and discoloration as expected. Ready to place.
