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.

WELSLEY ELBRIDGE WEBBER
American, 1841-1914

Sailing on a Moonlit Sea

Oil on canvas | signed lower left "Wesley Webber"

20" H x 16 1/8" W [canvas]
33 5/8" H x 29 7/8" W x 3 3/4" D [frame]

Condition: Frame is likely original with extensive oxidization/darkening of the surface; minor wear, chipping, flaking and loss as expected. Canvas is unlined. Restorations visible under UV: ships on the horizon are likely added, light of the green frenel added across the water, speck touchups in the water and a spot in the sail, lower left corner flares (likely this area was not cleaned in order to preserve the signature).
