‘Game Of Thrones’ Iron Throne Fetches $1.5 Million
“Game of Thrones” fans came out in droves to bid on costumes, props and other items from the series in an auction that raked in over $21 million.
It Was A Fans Dream Auction
The Heritage Auctions event in Dallas featured over 900 lots including suits of armor, swords and weapons, jewelry, and several other items of significance from the HBO series. The top-dollar item was the Iron Throne and after a six-minute bidding war, the throne sold for $1.49 million.
And It Was Only A Replica
The replica was made of plastic and molded from the original screen-used version, then finished off with metallic paint and jewel embellishments. The Star said, Jon Snow’s signature sword, Longclaw, wielded onscreen by Kit Harington, sold for $400,000 and his night’s watch ensemble, featuring a heavy cape, went for $337,500. Both items kicked off prolonged bidding wars.
Heritage Auctions said in a statement Sunday that the weekend event brought in $21.1 million from more than 4,500 bidders. The auction marked Heritage’s second-best entertainment event, just shy of the record set by a Debbie Reynolds sale it held in 2011.
