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.

GERMAN SCHOOL
19th century

Hiker Passing Cattle and Sheep in an Alpine Landscape

Oil on panel, unsigned

[frame] 23” H x 25 3/4” W x 4 1/2” D
[panel] 10 1/2” H x 13 1/2” W

A lovely and crisp work in oil on panel, this bright painting captures the meanderings of a hiker through the mountains. He wanders past a small alpine home around which two sheep and three cows rest lazily in the sun. High chroma with vivid colors, the light is crystal clear and reflects the same essence of how you actually feel when hiking the Alps. Shadows cast by the nearby clouds shade the forefront of the brilliant green grass and diverse foliage. 

Condition Report: Panel has a gentle curve (see gap between frame and panel). Professionally conserved, minor inpainting visible under UV, new traditional Damar varnish. Frame with some element loss on left side, gaps in corners, professional restoration and gilding touch ups.
