Information

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.

"SLEEPING BASSET HOUND" AFTER MODEL BY JEAN-BAPTISTE-LOUIS GUY (FRENCH, 1824-1888)
Signed in cast "Louis Guy 1876"; sand-cast in patinated bronze
Item # 103DAS24P 

A fine sand-cast model of a sleeping basset hound by animal painter and sculptor Jean-Baptiste-Louis Guy, it exhibits an overall medium brown surface patina with a complex variety of hues and intensity ranging from nearly black in recesses to nearly golden in relief. The casting quality is superb and results in an overall silky surface that has been sealed under wax and glows beautifully.
