Game of Thrones' Iron Throne sells for nearly $1.5M at auction

20:19, October 14

Game of Thrones fans bid for hundreds of costumes, props, and other items from the show at an auction that raised more than $21 million.

Heritage Auctions in Dallas featured more than 900 lots, including armor, swords and weapons, jewelry, and several other significant items from the HBO series, CNN reports.

The most expensive lot was the one that characters fought over throughout all eight seasons of the show: the Iron Throne. After a six-minute bidding war, the throne sold for $1.49 million.

The replica was made of plastic and molded from the original on-screen version, then finished with metallic paint and gemstones. In the show, the throne was forged using dragon breath, which melted the swords of thousands of defeated rivals and became a symbol of the struggle for power throughout the show.

In addition to the coveted Iron Throne, more than 30 other lots had six-figure price tags. Jon Snow’s signature sword, Longclaw, wielded on-screen by Kit Harington, sold for $400,000, while his Night’s Watch costume with its heavy cloak went for $337,500. Both items prompted lengthy bidding.

Such was the case with several cloaks and dresses worn by Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen and Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister. The gray suede ensemble worn by Daenerys sold for $112,500, exactly $100,000 above the opening bid, while the red velvet dress Cersei wears in her final appearance on the show went for $137,500—$122,500 above the opening bid.

Armor also proved popular, especially when it included sought-after weapons. Jaime Lannister's black leather armor sold for $275,000, while his Kingsguard armor, including his famous Oathkeeper longsword, went for $212,500. And the Kingsguard armor worn by the character Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane sold for $212,500.
