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.

FRENCH SCHOOL
Circa late 19th/early 20th century

"Standing Napoleon"

Carved alabaster | signed in script to the reverse of the base "Moreau"

Item # C104701 

A lovely decorative sculpture that captures the emperor Napoleon standing and looking into a point in the infinite distance. It is carved from a solid block of alabaster, the silky translucency of the stone almost soapy in appearance. The back of the base is signed by an unknown sculptor "Moreau". It was likely carved for the Grand Tourists during the late 19th and early 20th century. A nice size.


Measurements: 20 1/2" H x 7 3/8" D x 5 3/8" W

Condition Report:
Discolorations to the stone in a number of places from age and gentle use, rust-like staining in a few areas, notably the base; minor chips, flea bites and losses around the base; presents attractively.
