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.

A FINE LARGE VICTORIAN GLASS DISPLAY DOME ON AN EBONIZED BASE

Probably English, circa late 19th

20 1/8" H x 10 7/8" diameter

Late 19th-century glass display dome with its original ebonized wooden base with a later leather pad loosely rested on the top, overall raised on small bracket feet. These domes were commonly used in the Victorian period to protect and exhibit small objects such as clocks, taxidermy, or personal mementos. Clean, clear glass and a simple base make it perfectly suitable for presenting sculpture or decorative objects while protecting them from dust and grime.

Condition: Minor wear to the ebonized base. Replaced leather pad on interior. Glass in good clear condition with only minor wear.
