The back of the famous Iron Throne, TEXAS, USA, A LIFE-SIZE replica of the Iron Throne from the popular HBO show Game of Thrones just sold for Ł1.1M. The auction by Heritage Auctions saw a plethora of Game of Thrones memorabilia on offer most notably the Iron Throne replica fetching a staggering Ł1.1million. Other coveted items included Jon Snow’s Longclaw sword which sold for an impressive Ł306,668 and the Night’s Watch costume for Ł258,751. Jaime Lannister’s Kings guard uniform for Ł162,917 and Golden hand for Ł86,250. Arya Stark’s Needle sword and boy ensemble from season two went for a mighty Ł115,000. “A nearly identical replica of the iconic chair from HBO‘s hit series Game of Thrones just hammered down for Ł1.1 million at auction,” state reports. “The monarch’s seat was one of more than 900 props and costumes from the award-winning drama to go under the hammer with Dallas-based Heritage Auctions this past weekend. “The three-day event, which ran from Thursday to Saturday, drew over 4,500 bidders and by the end, achieved an impressive Ł16.1 million, the second-highest-grossing entertainment auction after the Ł17.4 million Debbie Reynolds event held back in 2011. “The 310-pound Iron Throne was the top lot of the event and was snapped up after what the auction house described as a prolonged, six-minute bidding war. “The chair itself is molded from the original screen-used version and was created exclusively for promotional events and tours, including Comic-Con. “Crafted from plastic, it’s been painted in a metallic finish and adorned with jewel embellishments to mimic the hilts of the swords that have been melted together. “Some of the other highlights included the sale of Jon Snow’s Longclaw sword, used on-screen by Harington. As fans will recall, the Valyrian steel weapon was gifted to Harrington’s character by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont played by James Cosmo back in season one. “There was also a big commotion over Snow’s elaborate, 10-piece Night’s Watch outfit. “As you might expect, garb from fan-favorite Arya Stark played by Maisie Williams was also on offer. More specifically, her “boy” costume and the pointy Needle sword she wielded in season two. “An epic battle broke out over screen-worn ensembles from the Mountain and the Hound.” “From the moment we launched the Game of Thrones auction in September, it was clear this was going to resonate with everyone,” says Joe Maddalena, executive vice president of Heritage Auctions, in a press statement. “These are extraordinary treasures made by Emmy-winning costume designers and prop makers, who worked tirelessly to adapt George R.R. Martin’s wonderful novels. “People wanted a piece of that Game of Thrones magic, and we are honored to have been part of what designer Michele Clapton calls these costumes and props’ afterlives.” ENDS
