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.

"MINERVA" TEAK SOFA BY PETER HVIDT AND ORLA MOLGAARD-NIELSEN
John Stuart label retained to the underside; in original upholstery
Item # 109PZH29Q 

A wonderful sofa from Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen's "Minerva" collection, this form is actually rather uncommon with the integral side-table on the left. It can be transitioned into a daybed by removing the triangular back, the chromed bars easily removing from the frame. As is typical of their designs, the sofa is of the highest quality with fine metal work, wonderful molded surfaces crafted entirely from solid teak and great attention shown to comfort throughout. The sofa retains all original strapping, this still supportive and in overall very good condition. As with all of our pieces, the sofa frame and all metalwork has been fully reconditioned and is in very good overall condition. The upholstery is original and still serviceable.


Measurements: 86 1/2" W x 32" H x 30" D; approx. 16" H to seat

Condition Report:
Original upholstery in overall good condition, some loose threads with light color variation and minor fading; the upholstery remains comfortable and serviceable. All joints sturdy and firm. Chrome in good condition with only minor oxidization. All elements polished, re-oiled and remaining in very good condition.
