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.

PAIR OF GILT AND PATINATED FIGURAL FIREPLACE CHENETS

Paris, late 19th century
Marked "CC" verso

18" H x 16 1/4" W x 6 1/2" D

A lovely pair of late 19th / early 20th century fireplace chenets with putto riding on the rocaille waves of the opposing C-scroll forms. Deeply influenced by the designs of the Louis XV period, the gilded elements are fabulously pierced and decorated with flowing and scrolling acanthus and foliate together with endless cyma curves and C-scrolls. A male and female putto oppose eachother on the crest of each.

Condition: Discolored gilding throughout with some blackening from placement by the fireplace. Trace regilding. Male putto is missing an element in his hand. Otherwise ready to place.
