DALLAS — The original touring Iron Throne, molded from the original screen-used throne, was the ultimate showstopper when it sold for $1,490,000 to lead Heritage Auction’s Game of Thrones: The Auction to $21,115,718 thanks to more than 4,500 bidders worldwide — most of whom were first-time bidders at Heritage and all of whom helped make this the most successful auction of costumes, props and more from a single film or TV show.

During its brief stays at Heritage’s New York City and Dallas galleries, the Iron Throne incited a bidding war in the October 12 sale that resulted in a 6-minute-long back-and-forth between bidders, culminating in the seven-figure price. When it sold, the auction room erupted with applause. For information, www.ha.com or 214-528-3500.
