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.

GILT BRONZE MIRRORED SURTOUT DE TABLE

In the Louis XV taste
Paris, circa 1880

23 1/4" W x 13 1/4" D x 2 1/4" H

A fluid ovular form that is brilliantly organic and natural, the essence of Rococo design is captured in the ever-flowing acanthus, undulating cyma-curved reeding moving asymmetrically around the plateau, the pierced rocaille apron and finely chased lobed shell on either end. It rests on opposing c-scrolled legs of acanthus. An exquisite table centerpiece.

Designed to support a mirrored plateau, surtouts de table served as both functional and decorative centerpieces in formal dining settings, reflecting candlelight and table arrangements while organizing vessels, candelabra or other tabletop elements.

Condition: Minor wear and scuffing to the mirror. Extensive oxidization and verdigris in crevices throughout. Light wear to ormolu.
