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.

SET OF FOUR NEOCLASSICAL GONDOLA SIDE CHAIRS
Circa early 20th century; refinished with new upholstery
Item # 905YKJ20P 


An unusually fine set of four gondola side chairs in the Neoclassical taste, they are relatively austere and exhibit some of the Gustavian aesthetic in the simple carvings and clean lines. The pearl-like opalescence of the painted finish is burnished and glows beautifully under waxes. Each chair is highlighted with polychromed green curled ears that culminate in rosette carvings, these mirrored in the rosettes at each knee of the simple sabre legs, these terminating in original brass castor sabots. They are newly upholstered in a woven gray linen fabric.

Measurements: 33" H x 20" W x 17 3/4" D; 16" H to seat

Condition Report:
Entirely refinished with paint refreshed and faux-distressed. Sealed in waxes. New woven linen gray upholstery.
