Five years after its epic conclusion, fans of Game of Thrones have the opportunity to bid on costumes, props, set pieces, and memorabilia from HBO's iconic series. Heritage Auctions has dubbed this event “the Mother of Auctions,” featuring 2,000 items across 900 lots that will be auctioned for the first time.
The auction will take place from October 10 to 12 at Heritage Auctions' headquarters in Dallas, which boasts a 240,000-square-foot facility. Previews of the auction will be held in London, Chicago, and New York this fall.
Since "Game of Thrones" premiered in 2011, HBO has preserved thousands of items used in the series in anticipation of potential spin-offs and sequels. With two seasons of "House of the Dragon" completed and more projects in the pipeline, the network has identified which items can be made available to fans.
Joe Maddalena, the auction house’s executive vice president, remarked, “Seldom have we held an entertainment auction on such a grand scale, highlighted by our exhibitions in New York, London, Chicago, and Dallas. It’s always a joy working with HBO.”

Michele Clapton, the Emmy Award-winning costume designer for Game of Thrones, expressed her excitement that the costumes will have a new life. “You design things for a television show, and usually that’s the extent of their lifespan: They get put in boxes and stored away,” Clapton said. “I find it comforting to know they will carry on, that they’re still loved and talked about. Now they can all go off and have their great lives.”
Earlier this year, Heritage Auctions held a successful sale of props and memorabilia from another HBO series, "Succession", which generated over $625,000 across 236 lots.
