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.

SWEDISH GUSTAVIAN-STYLE PAINTED CHEST OF DRAWERS
Northern European, 20th Century

39 1/4" H x 21 1/4" D x 44 1/2" W

A reproduction of the Gustavian period carefully executed in the manner of the era, this painted chest of drawers features a rectilinear case raised on tapered, fluted legs with carved panels to the knees mounted with cast brass mounts. The two drawers are hand-dovetailed and fitted with finely cast brass escutcheons and pulls, these flanked on either side by fluted columns and finely cast capitals, the lower portion of each column fitted with brass stop-flutes. The painted surface is lightly distressed in a very attractive manner. The back and secondary woods are consistent with period reproduction techniques.

Condition: Retains one working key. Distress throughout, though largely intentional and quite attractive. No other observed flaws.
