Hundreds of props from Game of Thrones are going on auction, with bids open now

As a diehard fan of “Game of Thrones” who has spent countless hours immersed in the captivating world created by George R.R. Martin and brought to life by HBO, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming auction of thousands of items from the show’s eight seasons. The opportunity to own a piece of Westeros history is not only a dream come true but also a testament to the impact this series has had on our culture.


HBO has teamed up with Heritage Auctions to sell numerous items created by the crew of ‘Game of Thrones’ during its run on television, which spanned eight seasons. These items include props, costumes, artwork, and other related items. The bidding for these items is currently underway, with the major auction taking place on October 10-12 at Heritage Auctions in Dallas. From September 17 to October 4, you can view this collection at the auction house’s locations in New York City and London.

1. It continues in this manner, without end. I highly recommend taking a look if it catches your eye. Essentially, there’s everything here – even the stunning outfits and the bell used by Septa Unella during Cersei Lannister’s walk of atonement. If you ask me, that’s the standout item.

Jay Roewe from HBO spoke with the Associated Press regarding the auction. “Game of Thrones” was a significant cultural event for us, a defining moment in premium television, and a milestone for HBO,” he explained. “It’s a part of our childhood, it has influenced everyone, shaped the culture, and ‘Game of Thrones’ has left an indelible mark on every individual.”

These items have been curated and taken care of since we finished filming. They are the quality that they were when we finished filming, and we’ve had people working on them for years to keep them in shape. We don’t need them anymore. It’s time to finally open it up to the world.

Simultaneously, Joe Maddalena, executive vice president at Heritage Auctions, expressed amazement at the breadth of the collection. “It’s not common to have studio-approved auctions like this,” he remarked. “Each item comes directly from the archive. Each piece was carefully selected, scene-specific. You know exactly where your item was used in a film, and you can confirm that it was indeed used on screen.”

Over time, I’ve probably encountered some of these props at HBO exhibitions; they’ve taken these items on tour previously. There’s even a sort of unofficial “Game of Thrones” museum located in Belfast, called the “Game of Thrones Studio Tour,” where you can view such items in their original settings.

Upon learning that HBO is auctioning off numerous Game of Thrones memorabilia, I can’t help but question if they might be considering closing down the Studio Tour. However, given that many of these items are duplicates, selling 900 pieces doesn’t necessarily mean the museum will run out of exhibits. Regardless, it appears to be a significant decision, and an exciting opportunity for devoted fans to acquire unique collector’s items. Who among us would dare to buy the Iron Throne and place it in their living room?
