As the popular Netflix series 'The Crown' is coming towards an end, British film and television production company Left Bank Pictures has decided to auction some of the show's props and costumes. The auction will be taking place in Bonhams, London, next year in February.
According to the press release shared by Bonhams, this 'once in a lifetime auction' includes 450 props, furniture, and costumes. Several items, such as replicas of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation robes and Princess Diana's 'revenge dress,' a 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC, a French early 20th-century mahogany and gilt-metal mounted pedestal desk and other things will be up for sale.

"The iconic costumes, props and set pieces from The Crown are extensively researched and made with truly impressive attention to detail by master craftspeople. Not only is this an incredible opportunity to own pieces from the landmark show, but it is also the closest anyone can come to owning the real thing – be it the façade of 10 Downing Street or Princess Diana's engagement ring," said Charlie Thomas, Bonhams UK Group Director for House Sales and Private & Iconic Collections in the press release.
As per Bonhams, "Proceeds from the live sale will go towards establishing the Left Bank Pictures –The Crown Scholarship programme at the National Film and Television School (NFTS) which has training sites across the UK in Buckinghamshire, London, Leeds, Scotland, and Wales."
