Ball gowns and porcelain corgis, fans of “The Crown” will be able to acquire costumes, accessories and sets from the famous Netflix series during auctions organized online and in London by Bonhams in February.
Reproductions of Elizabeth II's dressing table, Princess Diana's green jaguar or even the gate of Buckingham Palace, used for the series, the last season of which has been broadcast since Thursday, are among the 450 lots put up for sale.
They will be exhibited free of charge to the public by the British house Bonhams in its salons in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London, before being sold at auction in the British capital on February 7. Some pieces will also be offered online between January 30 and February 8.
Charlie Thomas, one of the directors of the Bonhams group in the United Kingdom, was fascinated by "the degree of sophistication" of the accessories or dresses, and by "extraordinary" decorations, such as a copy of the facade of 10 Downing Street, “which give the feeling of actually being there”. “It will be fascinating to see who wants to bid” for such a life-size decor, he said Tuesday in an interview with AFP.
If the prices of the emblematic pieces risk soaring - up to 50,000 pounds (57,000 euros) according to him for the coronation carriage, other lots will be offered at more accessible starting prices, such as a porcelain duo of corgis , the beloved dogs of Queen Elizabeth II, around 200 pounds (230 euros).
“The show has captured the hearts of millions of people,” and “everyone will have the chance to buy a piece of television history,” assured Charlie Thomas. And if the carriage adorned with gold is sold without the horses, it is, like all the other objects, “in perfect working order,” he assured.
Proceeds from the physical auction will go to students of the National Film and Television School, in collaboration with the British production house of “The Crown” Left Bank Pictures. Some 11.1 million spectators have already watched the first episodes of the sixth and final season of this multi-award winning series but often criticized for its accommodations with historical reality.
