Fans and collectors have an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Westeros during the historic Game of Thrones: The Auction, taking place from October 10th to 12th. The auction, presented by Heritage Auctions in collaboration with HBO, offers enthusiasts a unique chance to bid on authentic props, costumes, and memorabilia from the acclaimed HBO series. This event, now open for bidding, is expected to impact the world of entertainment memorabilia significantly.
Heritage Auctions, alongside Game of Thrones fan-favorite actors Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) and Kristian Nairn (Hodor), recently offered a preview of the auction at its NYC Gallery, providing fans with a closer look at the items up for bid. The collection spans over 900 lots and includes more than 2,000 pieces in total. Items on offer range from iconic costumes and weapons to set decorations and jewelry, many of which were featured throughout the eight-season run of David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s novels.
In collaboration with HBO’s archivists and production team, Heritage is offering authentic items from the series, including costumes designed by Emmy Award-winner Michele Clapton and armor crafted by armorer Tommy Dunne. Until now, fans could only view these items on their television screens.
Clapton says now it’s “heartwarming” to see her Game of Thrones costumes head to auction because they “will have another life” beyond their use on the series.
“You design things for a television show, and usually that’s the extent of their lifespan: They get put in boxes and stored away,” Clapton says. “I am very fortunate that these costumes will have an afterlife. I find it’s rather comforting to know they will carry on, that they’re still loved and talked about. Now they can all go off and have their great lives.”
The auction includes Jon Snow’s Valyrian steel sword Longclaw, Jaime Lannister’s golden hand, Daenerys Targaryen’s iconic black leather overcoat and dragon chain, and Cersei’s Red Velvet Dress, among others. Notable set pieces like shields representing the warring houses, dragon skulls, and the melted Iron Throne are also up for bidding, giving fans a tangible connection to the show’s most memorable moments.
The auction covers nearly every character and pivotal moment, from the pilot episode to the series finale, ensuring fans can find something special from their favorite part of the series.
Whether it’s Daenerys Targaryen’s rose-colored dress from the first episode or the Iron Throne itself, this auction offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of one of HBO’s most iconic series.
