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.

Riche, Louis

Born in Paris in May of 1877, Riche quickly gained recognition as a highly skilled sculptor, exhibiting at Salon at only 19 years of age. Primarily sculpting animals, he most enjoyed sculpting cats, a subject he produced a number of studies on. As a student of Georges Gardet (French, 1863-1939), he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français starting in 1897 and at Salon des Independants from 1923.
