“The sale represents the dispersal of a highly personal collection that was assembled by Crowe over many years, including those shared with his former wife,” said Sotheby’s.

Crowe and Spencer had separated five years ago and their divorce will soon be finalised

A total of 225 items will be up for grabs that includes fine art, antique vehicles, furniture, jewellery, musical instruments, and film paraphernalia.

An important stunt cuirass that Crowe wore in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator is expected to fetch between $20,000 to $30,000.

A pair of black leather wrist cuffs and a wooden training sword from the film has also been put up for auction.

From Cinderella Man, a blue satin robe and a pair of Everlast blue satin trunks, worn by Crowe as the character James J Braddock will also be up for grabs.
